Nokia aims to grow its involvement in the mobile workforce by offering information resources and tools to support mobile offices.
"Over the next 12 months, Nokia will provide reference materials for businesses and employees on mobile technology strategies and use, their deployment and implementation and controlling costs and building ROI. Nokia will also further bolster its integrated portfolio of business offerings with the introduction of significant new mobility products and services to be announced in the next three months," said a company statement today.
Employees tend to choose their own mobile hardware, operating system, applications, service provider and security policies, noted Olivier Cognet, VP, strategy and business development, Nokia Enterprise Solutions.
More than half of today`s employees around the world have purchased their own mobile devices for use at work, according to Nokia-sponsored research conducted by Simpson Carpenter. At the same time, employees are demanding more access from these devices to enterprise applications, such as e-mail and the corporate network, the research revealed.
Businesses will depend on device manufacturers for the bulk of their mobile technology needs more than any other partner company, the study said.
To support workforce mobility, Nokia`s portfolio of business offerings is aimed at addressing each piece of the "mobile technology puzzle", the company said: The portfolio includes Nokia devices, applications, security, support and professional services, while working together with partners and channels to deliver customised solutions.
