Enterprise Mobility in recent years has gained massive attention among big enterprises for security reasons and productivity. In the past, the term seems to be like some kind of fantasy, but right now the revolution has overwhelmed the enterprises leading to safe, secure and ease of access to data.

To understand enterprise mobility better, it is good to know some of the common acronyms used, which is growing at a rapid pace as the market is evolving. Have a look at them.

Business Intelligence (BI)

Business Intelligence is a term used to define the technologies, applications, and practices to collect, integrate, analyze and present business information. The objective of business intelligence is to make better decisions within the organization.

It is used by organizations to reduce the cost of business operations and identify business opportunities. Moreover, it is used by CIOs to determine disorganized business processes that need to be revamped and rectified on immediate notice. Today, 85% of business leaders believe that effective big data practice will radically transform the way they do business.

Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM)

EMM is the approach to securing and enabling employees’ use of tablets and smartphones. As the use of smartphones and tablets have increased in recent years at workplaces, the need for enterprise mobility management is to make sure to secure the devices from loss or theft. In simple words, it ensures that the devices used by the employees are secure enough to save the company’s data from being stolen. Enterprise Mobility conducts business operations outside the central office; it is either from home, construction site or on the road.

Internet of Things (IoT)

The Internet of Things refers to the term where network connectivity and computing capabilities extend to everyday things that incorporates embedded technologies to communicate and interact with the external environment all through the internet.

The Internet of Things has been an integral part of a majority of enterprises for years, but the adoption is ready to blow in the coming years massively. In the next coming years, companies have to focus more on IoT strategy or IoT business plans to stay ahead of competitors.

Customer Experience (CX)

Customer Experience is the interaction with a customer and organization throughout their business relationship, which includes discovery, advocacy, service, purchase, awareness or cultivation.

Customer Experience plays an important role in defining, which business technologies and plans gain extensive approval. It is an essential part of Customer Relationship Management and the reason for having a positive customer experience is that it will help in building a loyal customer base. A study by Oracle found that 74% of senior executives believe that customer experience influences the willingness of a customer to be a loyal advocate.

Mobility Management Platform (MMP)

The Mobility Management Platform is not new, however, in the future; they look and feel would be very different. The robust offerings will contest with inexpensive and specialized products and services, allowing greater overall flexibility to enterprise devices, security, and optimization.

Bring Your Own Device (BYOD)

Bring your own Device is the practice of letting the employees of an organization use their own smartphones, tablets or computers for work purposes. The reason for such practice is to empower employees to use their favourite mobile devices and help them stay productive. The BYOD can be deployed across multi-support OS platforms such as Android, Windows, and iPhone. The impact of BYOD can be seen vastly on a number of IT positions, changing the way people work to offer them flexibility.
