With the transformation from wireless communications to mobile business underway, the GSM family of technologies provides a foundation for corporate enterprise applications. A white paper by 3G Americas discusses key issues that IT managers should consider when formulating their wireless corporate application plans. The white paper includes:
- a summary of different ecosystem components for wireless enterprise applications,
- descriptions of customer case studies of successful deployments,
- uses of a variety of wireless enterprise applications and enterprise class devices.

Today's wireless corporate applications have moved beyond email, calendar and Personal Information manager (PIM) information. Wireless applications such as sales force automation, field force automation, and automatic vehicle location have become the leading focus of many companies. Numerous concurrent developments have aligned to allow these companies to take a fresh look at extending their backend information systems to mobile employees. Next generation wireless networks are ubiquitous today and provide the service quality and throughput speeds required to support wireless corporate applications. Hundreds of thousands of mobile workers already have these tools in their hands today. Sales forces, field service staff, policing and security organizations, delivery and logistics companies, healthcare employees, government officials and IT managers, among many other groups, continue to reap the benefits of wireless corporate applications and deepen their deployments.

A relentless stream of innovations in wireless communications makes it possible, for the first time ever, for workers to take their entire business – all the capabilities and information they need to do their jobs – to wherever their business takes them. This transformation from wireless communications to mobile business is already underway. Early adopters of wireless corporate communications have begun deploying high-value wireless applications.
