Global System Mobile Communication Applications: Instead, companies must develop a unified enterprise mobility strategy that brings the management of multiple RF technologies into a single interface, optimizes the performance of business applications in the mobile environment and allows for seamless bridging of data between wired and wireless networks.

This paper discusses the challenges of managing multiple networks to access mobile data and outlines a step-by-step approach to developing a unified enterprise mobility strategy, which enables a more cost-effective and efficient delivery of network connectivity to a larger mobile workforce.

Executive Summary

In today's competitive environment, it is no longer economically feasible for IT organizations to separately manage multiple networks to access mobile data. Exponentially scalable infrastructure, such as sprawling access points and arrays of RFID readers, is prohibitively expensive in terms of manpower and operations costs for most organizations. Also, maintaining disparate pools of data results in a missed opportunity for companies to achieve end-to-end visibility and control over business processes.
