Enterprise mobility market: ‘’There are two sets of OEM battles that need to be watched closely: Apple and Samsung and Nokia and BlackBerry’’.




As enterprises become more reliant on mobile devices, apps, and services, Connectikpeople.co recommends OEMs to increasingly broaden their enterprise offerings.
In this ecosystem, we can observe that, despite the fact that, Blackberry faces shrinking smartphone market share in an intense competitive environment, this company is still considered the gold standard in enterprise security supported by recent BES enhancements for multi-OS and dual-persona device
management.
Today, Connectikpeople.co has captured this study which shows that   BlackBerry and Nokia are battling for the number three spot in the enterprise mobility market. BlackBerry has more enterprise mobility experience; however, Nokia now has the backing of Microsoft. Couple these advantages with the recent struggles by Apple and Samsung means that opportunity exists for BlackBerry and Nokia to gain market share and subsequently improve their ranking.
ABI Research’s Enterprise Smartphone vendor matrix concluded that, overall, Samsung is number one followed closely by Apple, with BlackBerry rounding out the top three.
Connectikpeople.co recalls that, the vendor matrix ranks companies based on scoring in Implementation and Innovation categories. Nine smartphone OEMs were compared on eighteen criteria including workspace management solutions, partnerships and business customer adoption. Samsung’s large and diversified partner network coupled with it being the first Android OEM to offer an integrated enterprise solution pushed the company to the number one spot.
The vendor matrix score separating Samsung and Apple was less than a single point. Apple received extremely high marks in Implementation due to high iOS smartphone adoption by business users and because its smartphones are the most activated device within EMM/MDM platforms. Samsung, on the other hand, was ranked as more Innovative with a wider range of enterprise devices and better security features.
