Evaluating Enterprise Mobility Strategy

Enterprises develop mobility solutions for variety of use cases. In all the use cases, the enterprise should consider developing a mobility strategy. Like any corporate strategy, mobility strategy should be evaluated. Models and tools are needed to evaluate the different mobility strategy options and help with decision making. Complexity with evaluating the mobility strategy is mainly due to (1) all different business units might have different views on the mobility strategy, (2) different layers in the corporate management see the mobility strategy differently, and (3) mobility strategy requires several steps in defining and implementing. A holistic approach is essential for evaluating a mobility strategy. The approach should consider the enterprise characteristics as well as the entire process of realizing the mobility strategy. In this paper, we present a generic model for evaluating the mobility strategy.
