1. Managed Mobility Service (MMS) Provider Fees
We asked all 13 leaders at MOBI Wireless Management, “How Will Wireless Mobility Management (WMM) Change in 2013?”, and below are their responses. After you read these, be sure to share your predictions and opinions in the comment section below.
Scott Kraege, CEO
In past years, enterprises used separate entities for managing their mobility program: an MDM for security, TEM for expense management, help-desk for support, etc. Enterprises will continue to grow by getting “smarter” in the Managed Mobility Service space by adopting programs to manage multiple aspects of mobility.
Mobile device operating systems will continue to roll-out and improve their corporate vs. personal features, exclusively for enterprise use.
Mitch Black, President
I think we will see an increase in consolidation on the MDM and MAM space. These similar services will merge together and become one management service.
Blackberry will make a “slight” comeback.
