This increasing mobilisation of the workforce will bring
changes to the way we think about mobile workforce management
solutions.
The gap between business and consumer IT applications will continue to shrink and
virtually everything will become optimised for mobile use, with more and more
employees using their own devices for business and pleasure, rather than employer
provided hardware.
This change to the use of personal devices (or consumerism) will mean that security will be a very high profile area, as the focus moves from securing a tightly controlled, office based network to multiple employee controlled devices handling sensitive data.
Locking down the network and banning personal devices will only have to effect of eventually reducing security, as employees seek to find ways around the rules, so It departments will have to become more flexible.
Because of this, cloud based solutions will become more and more important and cloud security will be also firmly in the forefront of IT department’s minds.
Business focused social networking – not necessarily social networking as we know it - but specific business applications designed to behave like our favourite social networking sites and primarily used for business rather than leisure functions will become the norm. These would have the advantage of being similar to the social sites employees are already using, making them easy to use and understand, and probably requiring less user training and support.
Smart businesses will take full advantage of existing systems and devices by using easily adaptable solutions like Mobilize from MoCo Software Solutions.
This mobile workforce management system allows users to take advantage of existing mobile phone technology for proof of attendance, paperless form filling and signature capturing and much, much more.
