Do you inspect the wave and then jump into the ocean or simply follow others? This might cost you heavily, as every other person's requirement and risk taking capacity is diverse. The case is no different when it comes to enterprise mobility. We see a lot of people blindly joining the herd without ever prior access of the real need.

However, the best way is to find a solution by evaluating the need to determine priorities and decide on next steps - do you really need a mobility solution and is there a need to manage devices, applications and data better? And if the answer is yes, then you are not alone as many businesses today have made enterprise mobility as their integral part. But the key lies in aligning with corporate goals and policies, or else will prove futile.
The organizations that follow this process opt to create a mobility strategy to administer business networks, apps, devices and data, which relishes them with rewards akin to saving money, increasing availability and avoiding the duplicated effort that can happen due to lack of visibility. Clients expect responsive services, making it necessary for the employees to use their own mobile device throughout the day.

But as the market is projected to grow at a remarkable 24.70 percent CAGR from 2015 to 2022, and if the numbers are to be believed, the market will have a valuation of $510.39 billion by 2022, which means a several corporate will be adopting enterprise mobility soon. But it is still important to remember not to compromise with security, manageability and controlled costs to gain a competitive advantage.
