Mobility is helping to improve business productivity and processes, and companies are learning how to create a competitive advantage by helping to give their workforce the ability to:

• Save time and increase productivity by quickly and easily accessing information when workers are away from the office, to capture ideas and thoughts from anywhere.
• Respond better to customer requests with access to e-mail and vital business information when workers are away from the office.
• Automatically synchronize files when their mobile PCs, Windows Mobile powered Smartphones, and PDAs connect to the corporate network.
• Improve sales cycles and forge closer relationships with customers and partners through anytime, anywhere access to information that can help them improve responsiveness, complete a sale, or simplify a process for partners.

Enable Your Mobile Workforce

Microsoft has developed Enable Your Mobile Workforce–a broad mobility solution that encompasses not only traditional handheld devices and Smartphones, but also infrastructure software such as Microsoft Exchange Server, team collaboration tools such as Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007, and line-of-business applications such as Microsoft Dynamics CRM 3.0 Mobile.

By giving your employees access to the near real-time data and vital information they need to do their work while on the go, your company can see many potential benefits, including:

• Greater worker productivity by decreasing time lost while on the road or telecommuting.
• Greater efficiency by replacing manual, paper-based processes and increasing the speed at which people can make business insights.
• Increased customer satisfaction because workers can respond to customers quickly even when they are away from the office.
• More security and protection for mobile applications and devices through new hardware-enabled data protection.
