Mobile offices set to take off

The Hindu Business Line reports:

Mobile devices have become more than mere voice and data enablers.
With enterprises encouraging workforce on the move to access information anywhere, anytime, several industry segments are taking to mobile devices that have turned them to extended office sites.

The President of Enterprise and HNI Business Unit, Tata Teleservices Ltd, Vinayak Despande, said the company has partnered with the likes of Qualcomm and MobileOne, to offer a host of enterprise mobility.

Citing a Gartner report, Mr Deshpande said about 60 per cent of people would not be coming to office to do their work as work flexibility is gaining importance.

Addressing an interactive session to familiarise the corporates on how mobility solutions could potentially transform and streamline their businesses, Deshpande said sales executives are demanding customer relation management features on handheld devices and logistics and supply chain areas are witness to rapid adoption of these solutions.

Describing workforce on the move as Road Warriors, the telecom solutions provider sought to offer mobility solutions that could provide competitive advantage.
Be it through a data card that can convert the laptop into a mobile office, or a smart phone that can handle most of the work that a desktop could potentially offer, the demand is increasing.

The Vice-President of Tata Teleservices, Mr Uttam Kumar Soni, said enterprise mobility solutions have the capability to improve efficiencies and empower people on the move. In areas such as logistics, courier companies, airlines, banks and media companies, these solutions will have wide range of applications.

Pharma major Ranbaxy uses it for its field staff and Tata Teleservices has had enquiries from a leading coffee company for an online application that can track overall daily consumption.
