Someone once asked me what ‘Enterprise Mobility’ is.
My response was the following: ‘It’s obvious there has been a shift in business practices; more people prefer to use their mobile devices, such as their smartphone or tablet, to conduct daily tasks. What Enterprise Mobility offers is just that; employees can access their company’s management solution from their mobile device in order to do business from anywhere, at any time. It allows employees to be more productive all the while giving them more freedom.’

I often find myself writing or speaking about Business Continuity as many do not know or fully understand the concept. When I bring up this topic, many business executives assume it is simply another “backup” solution, in which they then tell me they already have one. However, our QBR Business Continuity Solution is not just a backup, but instead a complete solution helping businesses recover quickly in times of disaster. This is extremely important to know and realize one cannot compare a data backup solution and a Business Continuity solution. In a previous article, I mentioned the differences between data backup and business continuity, however today I will explain the differences between all 3 commonly used IT security terms; Data Backup, BDR and Business Continuity.
Business executives normally don’t think twice about their backup system – it is something that has been part of the regularroutine of many businesses for quite some time now. Traditional backup software is typically a software program that works along with a media, like a backup tape or an external hard drive.

Therefore, something needed to be done to ensure these dangers were eliminated.

In many of Namtek’s previous articles, we mentioned the popularity of Mobile Commerce, or mCommerce, amongst consumers. However, a recent study done by research firm Reputation Leaders, concluded that consumers between the ages of 18 and 64 from 15 of the world’s largest markets are expecting businesses to have mobile-optimized eCommerce sites but are being let down.
It’s obvious that the way consumers nowadays engage with businesses has changed. According to Harvard Professor Shoshana Zuboff, “every century or so, fundamental changes in the nature of consumption create new demand patterns that existing companies can’t meet unless they applied imagination to see beyond what they’re selling today” (Forbes, 2014).
Companies need to be aware that consumers are always connected, very opinionated, value conscious and they seek authenticity and require immediacy. These factors will change the way businesses attract new customers. Below is an infographic from Forbes about Mike, your typical customer in 2015.
