The Next Phase Of Business Transformation Is Here

By Mike Hulme, VMWare

Mobility is transforming the way the world does business, improving outcomes for companies that apply key mobility solutions strategically and to the highest impact areas of their business. Many CIOs are prioritizing this transition to the mobile mindset, with the hopes of profoundly enhancing the experience of customers and employees—streamlining processes, encouraging collaboration, and simplifying transactions.

But how are businesses across the globe faring in this transformation? In November 2015, VMware surveyed 1,182 CIOs, business decision makers, and IT practitioners to examine the transition of companies from the client server era to the mobile cloud era.

The results of the business mobility report reveal a tension between how the market wants to be using mobility to drive business results, and how it is using mobility today. While the majority of the market surveyed has successfully utilized mobility to enhance the productivity of individuals—effectively securing consumer devices, delivering productivity tools to employees, and extending core applications—only a minority have been able to combine mobility and business process transformation efforts, shifting core operations, mission critical applications, and customer-facing services to a mobile style of business. It is this shift, the survey finds, that holds the greatest potential and will make the greatest impact in the market in the coming 12 months.
