Mobile email - Whats the fuss? Wireless e-mail has seen
phenomenal growth in the past two years, thanks to the proliferation of
Research in Motion's (RIM's) BlackBerry devices, initially in North
America and now in Europeand Asia/Pacific. Drivers for adoption by
organizations are the critical role of e-mail in supporting of immediate
access business process workflow, the mobility of employees who
increasingly spend time far from their office and PC,and the expectation
to corporate information.For better or worse, customers evaluating
wireless technologies are faced with a range of issues that are not
specific to individual solutions, technologies, tools or languages. Here's
a list of questions that you may want to discuss in order to be able to
develop the best solution for you particular needs:Investment
Protection:There are by no means standardized solutions out there, issues
include the different types of standards, what kind of vendor to go with
when it comes time to mobilize apps, the number of devices to support, and
so forth. The Mobility business is not in a mature stage, a lot of vendors
have great solutions, yet less likely to survive ??" so who to go with
?Intel facilitates this by joining standards consortiums, submitting
non-proprietary proposals, helping customers to make long-term decisions
with the bigger picture in mind.Simplicity/Usability:Security/PrivacyBased
on concerns of safety, privacy, regulatory or accessibility legislation,
standards are also drafted into law. That said, there are only so many
standards that can be supported.TCOVarious cost related decisions drive
ROI of the selected solutions:Handset support is another important
consideration. Most customers evaluating wireless solutions state that
they will support only a small number of handsets (between 1 and 10).
Overall, most customers are only looking to support between 1 and 5
versions of any particular handset.??
