75% of the US workforce will be mobile within the next 2 years…only to be surpassed
by Japan’s 80% in the same period. This has all come about through the proliferation
of high speed networks, WI-FI and mobile technology. To stay competitive, we all
recognize the need to accommodate this movement.
Why, how, and at what cost? These are the questions that nag us. We soon recognize
this is NOT just a technology problem to solve. Companies that have begun to truly
embrace the technology recognize that mobility allows them to run lean, and also
helps to increase worker productivity and improve customer satisfaction at every
touch point in the field. With certain devices already dominating the market, forward-thinking
companies realize that they can not adopt just one platform. Yet, with the pace
that mobile technology is demanding solutions, it is readily apparent that many
of the applications that are already available are not relevant for enterprise solutions,
thus putting significant pressure on the business to develop those applications
now.
At Guilford Group, we have the right blend of business acumen, laser-sharp analysis
and technical know-how to enhance your company’s capabilities. History would tell
us that moving a company into new technical capability always requires keen knowledge
of the business function being served and the return on investment that will be
gained by implementing that technology. Having worked in multiple environments,
our professionals are uniquely positioned to understand the business and identify
the areas where mobile applications will enhance the business.
Once the specific application is identified, a clear architectural path must be
developed to ensure that the technical approach about to be used will fit the short
term solution as well as the long term technology plan. Our experience will showcase
the technical pitfalls that typically occur in mobile implementations and the variety
of architectural solutions that can be employed to avoid headaches years from now.
An excellent design always creates an implementation approach that minimizes risk
and error. Our professionals can discuss the various solutions available and fit
the right approach to your unique situation.
Every significant technology advancement has had pioneers that have blazed the trail,
learned from their mistakes and then implemented productively from those experiential
lessons. Why take chances in such a critical new area. Guilford Group can minimize
the learning curve and guide you towards profitability today.
