Mobile computing has had an impact on the 21st century that has easily dwarfed that of one of the greatest of all human inventions ‘the automobile.’ While the latter changed the speed with which we move from one place to another, mobile computing launched everything to the orbit.
Mobile Computing has reinvented our future, and its importance for enterprise has become greater now, given the fast-changing contemporary consumer behavior, market trends, and technology adoption. This blog highlights some of the key reasons that make enterprise mobility a new world full of opportunities for businesses irrespective of their sizes.

But today, BYOD is at the center of the mobile-centric workplace evolution.
