 Business Mobility in India

According to IDC, smartphone shipments to the country grew by 44 percent in Q2 2015, as compared to the same quarter in 2014, with Samsung, Micromax, Intex, Lenovo, and Lava leading the market. As devices become more affordable, IDC expects India to maintain a double-digit growth rate in the smartphone market, eventually overtaking the United States as the world’s second largest smartphone market by 2017.

 With the number of mobile internet users in India projected to double and cross the 300 million mark by 2017 according to a report by KPMG, business mobility is emerging as a top priority for Indian enterprises.

 The company recently announced new solutions, services and partnerships for its Business Mobility offerings. These include the introduction of VMware Identity ManagerTM, the industry's first identity-as-a-service offering, integrated with VMware’s leading enterprise-class mobility management and security platform. This provides IT with a central place to manage end-user provisioning, access and compliance.
