Gartner Names Mobile Applications a 'Strategic Technology for 2010'

Yesterday, Gartner named Mobile Applications one of the 'Top Ten Strategic Technologies' for 2010. Other technologies named for their disruptive and strategic implications include cloud computing, client computing (virtualization), and social computing.

We at Ondeego have thought mobile applications are strategic technologies for quite a while. Everyone with a BlackBerry, iPhone, or other smartphone now understands the benefits delivered by mobile email. Now, finally, other mobile enterprise applications are getting the respect they deserve. Particularly when combined with other innovations, like cloud services, social computing, and advanced analytics, mobile applications can be truly disruptive, lowering costs, and driving competitive advantage.

What Gartner doesn't mention: With mobile enterprise applications, it is important to remember that a complete strategy is needed - not just a single tactical mobile application. These applications have other management questions - what happens when someone loses a phone? What happens when an employee leaves a company or transfers workgroups? Most importantly, how do you provision these applications onto (potentially) hundreds or thousands of isolated devices?
