Unveils Mobility Quotient Research and Launches Array of New Mobility Solutions That Enable Unique, Instant Business Processes Connecting People, Places and Things
-- Cisco Unified Wireless Network -- Cisco Mobile Solutions for Unified Communications -- Cisco Business on the Go Solutions -- Cisco Process Monitoring and Optimization SolutionsThese solutions extend an enterprise's existing investment in infrastructure, voice and data applications, and assets to the mobile work force wherever they are -- within the campus or branch, at home or on the go. "Global competition and an emerging mobile-savvy workforce are catalysts for the adoption of mobility in businesses large and small today," said Craig Mathias, a Principal with the wireless and mobile advisory firm Farpoint Group. "Mobility is about making work location-independent -- something you do, not a place you go. With a broad array of technologies and solutions required to make this vision a reality, Cisco is well-positioned to help customers accelerate towards a more mobile world and the fundamental business advantages of mobility." Mobility Quotient -- Research into Insight, Collaboration and Awareness To benchmark the current state of business mobility, Cisco conducted independent research with business decision makers among enterprise and commercial businesses in North America, Europe, Asia and emerging markets. Focusing on measuring the three core areas that mobility enables -- insight, collaboration and awareness -- the results of the Cisco Mobility Quotient research provide an understanding of both the opportunities and challenges that mobility poses to businesses today. Key findings include: (1) A majority of businesses do not have a long-term mobile IT strategy in place; (2) One out of four respondents are potentially out of industry regulation compliance for wired and wireless security policies; and (3) a majority of businesses have not planned for how to connect critical assets to their network.
