With mobile devices becoming the medium of choice for many aspects of IT within the business, such as internet access, web browsing, email, collaboration and conferencing, organisations are quickly having to adapt. This new approach requires organisations to integrate their previously disparate mobile and client computing strategies in new ways to combine smartphones, tablets and PCs under one cohesive infrastructure. Recognising this shift towards mobility, Azzurri has founded the new Mobile Business Unit in order to take the lead in developing complete ’connected workforce’ solutions for its customers.
“Nearly two-thirds of organizations anticipate that they will be using a mobile device as their main productivity device within three years. Such a dramatic shift requires a radical new approach to the delivery of IT services, as the old PC-centric managed service approach no longer resonates with today’s mobile workforce. Azzurri’s new Mobile Business Unit is the manifestation of this shift to a mobile world, bringing together under one integrated service the products, services and expertise required to enable this new way of doing business. With the launch of the Mobile Business Unit, Azzurri is poised to lead the change in this new world order,” comments Vim Vithaldas, CEO, Azzurri.
“Mobile productivity has evolved considerably in recent years. It is no longer about just letting employees check their work email or send text messages whilst on the move, it is now fundamentally about enabling the ‘’always on’ workforce,” said Richard White, the newly appointed head of the Mobile Business Unit. “Most businesses understand that there are opportunities to enhance their customer interactions and workforce productivity through tablets and mobile applications, but they need help to adapt to this opportunity. Azzurri is a logical choice for our customers as we already have the managed service capability, development capability and necessary MDM products for security, management, and integration.”
