In today’s mobile world, almost all day-to-day tasks can be completed on a smartphone. Grocery shopping, bank deposits, weather, traffic and news are all available at the touch of a button – and employees, of both big and small companies, have grown to expect that same anytime, anywhere access with work resources. Mobilizing your workforce is critical not only for employee satisfaction and productivity, but also for your organization’s bottom line. Small- and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) everywhere are revamping business models to empower employees through mobile solutions.

Like any technology trend, mobility has its challenges. Allowing employees to access your small business network via mobile devices, like smartphones and tablets, requires enhanced security provisions, increased management and new mobile device policies. Mobile technology has become an essential tool for many small businesses and if used correctly will increase employees’ overall productivity, efficiency and agility. And in the long term, increase your profitability.
