CIOs are focusing on the mobile worker. The role of CMoO (Chief Mobility
Officer) The executives, engineers, and sales representatives that are on the
move are often responsible for bringing in new revenue and dealing with the
customer in times of crisis. As such, it’s essential that these employees have
fast access to any and all of the corporate resources that are available to
employees at the office.

The introduction of a mobile user use case adds a number of requirements for
any proposed application solution:

• Does the mobile solution provide the same level of functionality to mobile
  workers as available in branch offices?


• Is the solution architected so that the mobile user connects directly to
  the existing appliance solution?


• Can the application support potentially thousands of mobile workers
  effectively?


• Does the mobile software use the same code base and functionality as the
  primary solution?

IT-empowered mobile workers can also enable new and innovative work
arrangements within an organization. For example, businesses that are hoping to
expand to a new region often want to hire professionals in that region. At
first, however, those professionals might not have enough work to occupy them
and justify the expenses required to get regional business opportunities moving.
With a mobile solution, both the cost and revenue side of the business can
benefit. The office can be set up with virtually no infrastructure since a
mobile worker simply needs a laptop with application software installed to be up
and running. That dramatically reduces the necessary up-front investment in IT.
Once in place, the workers can source work from other offices, collaborating in
real time with colleagues on projects in other parts of the world.
