Some 45 percent of business decision makers polled by Harris Interactive state that wireless applications are important or absolutely essential to remaining competitive in today’s highly competitive marketplace. The survey of 700 small, medium and large businesses found the companies surveyed expect a 15 percent improvement in their bottom-line over the next 12 months.
Improved communications were seen by 23 percent of respondents. About 18 percent expect improved employee efficiency. Another 14 percent expect productivity and process improvements. An equal percentage expect improved customer care. About 11 percent expect cost reductions.
Whether one agrees or not, respondents indicate that, for whatever reasons, they are increasing their wireless spend. The survey shows the wireless portion of the companies’ voice and data infrastructure increasing from 35 percent over the last twelve months to 41 percent over the next twelve months, an increase of nearly 20 percent.
