Manager access to mobility is one of the most logical first steps for most organizations when mobilizing their operation. On a retail floor, a hospital unit, within a manufacturing facility, in the field or even within an office environment – managers are most effective if they are able to disengage from their desks and access critical information at their fingertips. Aberdeen Group was the first of the analyst community to take a closer look at mobilizing HCM, in their survey they identified 4 main areas that managers were most focused on mobilizing. Of note the impact of mobility on the manager use was impressive, organizations with managers who used mobility had a 13% increase in year-over-year productivity compared to only a 6% increase for those not using mobility.
