Mobile Data Plan? You Mean We Need A Plan?
Mobile data is definitely entering the enterprise, but it turns out that that most companies have no specific plan for how to make use of mobile data. Instead, it sounds like a mostly ad hoc process where some employee buys him or herself a shiny new wireless widget and starts using it for work purposes. Then, others buy similar (or maybe completely different) widgets and the process is repeated over and over again. In some ways, this might actually be a good thing, as it lets more people experiment and figure out what works – but from a centralized management standpoint it must look like anarchy – especially when many of the experiments will fail.
