Mobile is significantly impacting how organizations approach engagement and has the power to transform professions and industries.
Customers, employees and partners are connecting and collaborating in new ways, using their mobile devices across all stages of evaluating, buying and using products and services. To drive mobile business innovation, barriers to adoption must be eliminated — it must be safe and easy to unleash enterprise mobility, and create user experiences that bring the power of mobile to the individual.
IBM’s 6,000 mobile experts have been at the forefront of mobile enterprise innovation. IBM has secured more than 4,300 patents in mobile, social and security, which have been incorporated into IBM MobileFirst solutions that enable enterprise clients to radically streamline and accelerate mobile adoption, and help organizations engage more people and capture new markets. Through IBM's partnership with Apple, the two organizations are transforming enterprise mobility with a new class of industry specific business apps.
