New research conducted by Constellation Research reveals workplaces rapidly changing as companies adopt mobile technologies. Survey results revealed mobile transformation as a top priority for over eighty percent of respondents with eighty-two percent of responses indicating the presence of dedicated mobile transformation teams at their organizations. Data also indicated work trending away from the static desktop. More than fifty percent of respondents reported switching between devices more than six times per day, and traditional desktop computers are only used one-third of the time.
This data about the state of mobile transformation in the workplace comes from Constellation’s latest report,“The Strategic Impact of Mobile Transformation on Business Value” by Vice President and Principal Analyst, Alan Lepofsky. Over 500 qualified participants from healthcare, education, high tech, or retail comprised the respondent pool.
“When people hear the word mobile they immediately think of phones or tablets. Mobile needs to be thought of more as a style of working rather than a specific device," report author, Alan Lepofsky.
Key findings:
- Less than half of organizations have started to consider mobile transformation at the business model level. Only 48% of organizations have started to rethink the entire business process for mobile optimization
- Communication and collaboration top priorities for internal mobile transformation projects. 50% of organizations consider collaboration a top priority.
