► Short-term business traveler monitoring
► Benefits:
B fit
► Reduced data input
► Increased relevancy
► Other applications:
► Employee monitoring (high-risk areas)
(high risk
► Networking
► Real-time location information

38. Mobile computing
► A huge g
g growth in mobile internet has taken p place in the
last few years.
► It is predicted by Microsoft that mobile internet will
p y
overtake desktop usage by 2014.
► While 91% of mobile internet access is to socialize, the
proportion linked to employment will grow.
► What this means is that employees and assignees will
expect to interact with vendors using mobile d i
tt i t t ith d i bil devices.

39. Mobile computing
► The market for smartphones and tablets is increasing
p g
rapidly while the market for desktops and notebooks
declines.
► As organizations move towards “bring your own”, the
impact of this switch will be seen in business.
► Service providers will need to have mobile sites in the first
instance and apps in some situations.
► Information and data will need to be delivered in a more
I f ti dd t ill d t b d li di
effective “mobile” way.
