A Data System Analyst cum Programmer, Mr. Michael Olajide has posited that Enterprise Mobility would take the front seat in the workplace this year. Meaning, a great number of employees would be working outside the office and using mobile devices and cloud services to perform business tasks.
Olajide, who is the Executive Director, Finance and Administration of Sidmach Technologies Nigeria Limited and the Executive Chairman, WaveTek Nigeria Limited, posited this while speaking with some Journalists in Lagos on 2018 tech trends.
According to him, the waves of technology in Nigeria are gradually moving to where Enterprise Mobility and business applications will no longer be mere tools that are good to possess, but they will evolve into indispensable instruments that will provide better productivity and increased security.
“2018 will drive a wider scale adoption of serious business applications that will cater beyond communication and collaboration, and this will be an opportunity for many startups to create innovative enterprise,” he said.
He describes Enterprise Mobility as the trend of a great number of employees working outside the office and using mobile devices and cloud services to perform business tasks, adding that it would bring about increased speed or tempo of operations to gain a competitive advantage; efficient data collection so better and faster decisions can be made; quicker reporting of events and KPIs to a wider audience to provide full situational awareness and promote good decision making and issue resolution and so on.
