The next-generation digital workforce uses mobile devices in ways that are beyond conventional. No longer relegated to work e-mail and personal entertainment, devices in today's mobile-first world are becoming the central component for every aspect of daily productivity.
For personal use, mobile devices and apps provide entertainment, social media, shopping, navigation, and financial management. For work, they provide voice communication, file sharing, video conferencing, CRM, unified collaboration, expense reporting, shared calendaring, help desk support, and project tracking. The lines between our social and work lives are becoming thinner every day, as revealed in the results of the latest industry survey conducted by the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU):
* Thirty percent of respondents say they would never work for a company that did not allow them to use their own mobile devices for work.
* The ability to work anytime, anywhere is regarded as the single greatest impact on employee productivity, with 49% believing remote, flexible working was responsible for increased productivity.
* Thirty-one percent of companies surveyed use mobile communications apps to improve employee efficiency.
