THINKstrategies: Mobility-as-a-Service

THINKstrategies is a strategic consulting services company and the founder of the Software-as-a-Service Showplace. This white paper describes how Mobility-as-a-Service fits in the evolution of "on-demand" and "cloud computing" services.

THINKstrategies has found a growing level of adoption and interest in a new generation of ‘on-demand,’ ‘cloud-computing,’ pay-as-you-go services aimed at helping companies grapple with a wide array of business and information technology (IT) challenges.

With over 50% of companies in North America expecting over half of their employees to be using mobile PCs by 2013 and nearly a quarter expecting more than half of their employees to be using smart phones in the next five years as well, mobility has emerged as a key arena to benefit from this as-a-Service technology shift.

Mobility is well suited for a cloud-based service approach. This is because an Internet-based architecture is the only way to support and control mobile users no matter where they are, including outside the traditional corporate network.

This whitepaper will examine how businesses can leverage Mobility-as-a-Service to successfully support their increasingly dispersed employees and more cost-effectively achieve their corporate objectives.
