With all the talk of mobilising the enterprise, you might think that companies were taking a strategic view of how mobility might change and enhance their business, right? Not really. According to Quocirca research over recent years, (first noted in 2005), less than one in six companies seem to have sorted out some form of mobile strategy, and the majority are just working on ad hoc or ‘retrofit' approaches. ...

At one time, the only enterprise users of Apple products would have pony tails or job titles with the word ‘creative’ somewhere. That’s no longer the case.
