The New Year brings good news for Enterprise Mobility VARs! Experts believe the mobility market is ready for double-digit growth at a time when overall IT spending is predicted to remain flat to marginally down over the next 12-18 months. According to IDC's Worldwide Mobile Middleware 2009-2013 Forecast and 2008 Vendor Shares (Doc # 219186) from July 2009, the mobile middleware market is expected to grow from $853.8 million in 2008 to $1.6 billion in 2013, at a CAGR of 13.6 percent.
Some other key trends for 2010:
1. Consumers will be more demanding of flawless service because of the economy. They will continue to expect the immediate service and response made possible by a mobile workforce.
2. Larger mobility initiatives, versus smaller tactical deployments, that embrace a long-term mobile strategy will become crucial to competitive advantage.
3. Business Intelligence will become more mobilized and, in turn, will improve.
4. IT departments will be more open to supporting devices on multiple platforms.
5. Companies will provide internally branded and controlled “App Stores.”
