Mobile communications are everywhere, but not always unified. Ever since the original mobile phone call in 1973 by Martin Cooper, the productivity and speed of business has accelerated. Today there are four billion mobile users, and many of those are business users. It is a truly liberating method for reaching the information and the people you need, when you need it. For most enterprise users, it’s just that simple.

Over the past 36 years however, business has gotten lots more complicated. Tightening compliance requirements in financial services, and privacy concerns for health care professionals give rise to specific demands preventing the mobilization of these workers. Despite these obstacles, including walled garden operations of mobile operators and extremely limited devices and operating systems, the emergence of high performance mobile phone computers, aka, smartphones, and the rapid deployment of widely available, high speed wireless networks have reset user expectations for what can be done with a mobile device.

This has got business users excited about the business possibilities of mobile UC - bringing all manner of enterprise communications to the employee, instead of bringing the employee to the enterprise communications (device or location).
