Wireless e-mail and messaging is a mainstream business
application today. Busy executives, field sales, support or service
and traveling employees ranging from IT to marketing professionals are
getting connected and staying connected with wireless e-mail and messaging.
But what’s the right technology for your company? How does wireless
e-mail and messaging fit in your mobilization strategy? Should you extend
only e-mail to wireless devices or applications?
There are many different mobile and wireless devices
in the market today and several different air-connect technologies.
Should you buy PDAs, use mobile phones and WAP, or look at other types
of devices? Should you use low-bandwidth paging technology, wait for
3G networks, or deploy wireless LAN technology such as 802.11? These
and other decisions you need to make depend on your users, your business,
and on cost. Return on investment (ROI) for wireless e-mail and messaging
varies tremendously from company to company, from one user population
to another, and in different industries. The right solution for you
depends on your mobilization strategy.

Where’s the ROI?
E-mail has a clear business case and gives companies competitive advantages
by accelerating business process. Particularly when evaluated together
with word processing, productivity gains and ROI for e-mail can be easily
measured compared to using paper documents. Historically, mission-critical
staff and key executives have relied on technologies like paging and
conventional mobile phones. Wireless e-mail and messaging extends access
to information and enhances the data aspects of business communications.
Most experts claim that the business case and ROI for wireless e-mail
and messaging is the same. However, wireless e-mail isn’t about documents:
it’s about communication. Cost justification for wireless e-mail and
messaging is not an extension of the business case for e-mail. ROI for
wireless e-mail and messaging must be based on related communications
technologies.
Why Wireless E-mail and Messaging Make Sense
Communications technologies ranging from the telephone to fax, e-mail,
mobile phones and pagers, have accelerated business processes and made
companies more competitive. These technologies actually lower costs
by empowering people do more, do things faster, and improve the quality
and consistency of what they do. Wireless e-mail and messaging not only
expands and enhances business communications but enables new uses of
technology to accelerate business processes and empower individuals.
Wireless e-mail and messaging helps people get information they need,
when they need it, wherever they are. With wireless e-mail and messaging
people can stay in touch more effectively, communicate with applications
and other people whenever they need to and when it’s convenient for
them. Wireless e-mail and messaging helps people do more with their
time, manage their time better, and get more done. Wireless e-mail and
messaging translates into more capable and efficient people and into
a more responsive, informed, and competitive business.
