    Does anyone have some good information about success stories with a mobility implementation. Revenue savings, increase brand identity, specific #’s for ROI?

    I’m new to the space and have been humbled by the amount of research in front of me.

    Thanks for the help.

    I have a great whitepaper that RIM comissioned a few years ago by Ipos Reid that at least puts some context around what drivers could occur enabling a mobile workforce. The focus was mostly around mobile email so I’d love to see updated research that includes App / Web improvements and enablement that was occured.

    Also RIM had a very nice excel spreadsheet where you can drop in figures and calculate the benefit of mobile based on worker profile etc.

    I’m blocked to get to cloud storage while at work but if there is interest I’ll throw it on dropbox and share.

    Hey guys, thanks for the replies. Here is a tool I found to help estimate the ROI for deploying a mobile solution for field workers. I thought it to be an interesting experience.

    MobileAdmin – I would be interested in seeing that whitepaper. I appreciate you’re willingness to hunt it down and share it.

    Brett – No problem. I think its a great tool and had a little too much fun playing around with different scenarios.

    Brett,

    Where are you getting your numbers for the ROI tool? Are you guys estimating the amount of time saved in each of these activities from personal experience or through market data?

  • Avatar Image Brett Cornwright said 1 year, 3 months ago:

    Ryan,

    The answer is “personal experience,” or more accurately, the experiences of our customers coupled with internal tests we have performed in our laboratory. We interview most of our customers to understand their pre- and post-implementation experience. The ROI calculator that we have developed is actually pretty specific to our platform and is very conservative to allow for any significant margin of error (we would rather underestimate your savings and be pleasantly surprised, rather than vice versa)

    However, you should be able to use the tool when evaluating a variety of solutions as a benchmark of the savings you ought to be able to achieve.

    If you are interested in discussing the calculator in more detail, we would be happy to set up a 30-minute phone call with you.

    I’m interested in gathering stories (named or unnamed) on how companies have found success empowering various roles (field, sales, execs) using mobile, especially where IT has set a platform for mobile and line of business has rolled it out. All submissions will be credited and many featured in Altimeter Group’s next report. Message me to participate or send a note to csilva(at)altimetergroup(dot)com

    If you’re only interested in sharing some data points, we’re also gathering data here: http://is.gd/empowermobile

    Final data will be shared via EMF.

    Ryan – If you’re still gathering info, we have a few white papers that might help you. This one, on 3M, immediately came to mind: http://www.wavelink.com/case-study/3M-Manages-Diverse-Network-of-Mobile-Devices-with-Wavelink-Avalanche.aspx
