The term “mobility” has been used to describe the capability to run a desktop client-server application remotely, by a field worker connecting through a wireless link. However, that is not the focus today, and as recent Gartner and IDC surveys show, mobility is the third highest topic of interest for CIOs (after business intelligence and security). Gartner reported that the new Multi-Channel Access Gateway market was worth $646 million in 2006, and is growing at 40% CAGR. It believes that 50% of all enterprises will need to have a Multi-Channel Access Gateway Mobility solution by 2009. IDC reported that they were seeing higher deployment rates than predicted—20% said they would deploy within 12 months, whereas 30% deployments actually took place. Forrester reported that 48% of companies had deployed some kind of mobility solution tactically (i.e. via an application extension) and were now considering how to move to a strategic enablement, i.e. a Multi-Channel Access Gateway.
