How do you see the mobile web applications evolve in an enterprise context?
Today organisations are becoming increasingly mobile – employees across the functions are always on the move. Even when they are inside the campus, they process internal information – such as leave applications – online. When they travel, internal transactions – like, reimbursement of business expenses – take place using Internet and intranet. The important aspect is a number of such information exchanges are enabled directly by mobile phones. Specifically, SMS requests and alerts have become the enabling features.

What have been the important factors that are driving the usage of mobile applications across the globe?
Access to information is creating new markets. What role do mobile solutions play in this segment?
In the knowledge era, organisations have become information-intensive. However, in a corporate environment, information is scattered everywhere - in spreadsheets, faxes, emails, and computer documents. We need information systems to collect and collate the information and make it available for collaboration. Access to right information at the right time is the key to take right decisions.
