We are still at the early stage when it comes to mobile technologies and streamlined mobile technologies experiences.

Therefore, one can observe inter alia that, security and regulatory issues remain the biggest barrier for mobile technology adoption across industries.

However Connectikpeople.co recalls that,

• Mobility has advanced and evolved in such ways that many organizations are embracing capabilities unique to mobility and unique to their industries,

• Industry-specific applications will be a driving force,

• Businesses look for solutions that can be easily configured to their unique business and vertical requirements,

• The manufacturing sector represents the largest enterprise opportunity for mobile technologies,

• mobile technologies are empowering workers across industries to connect, collaborate, and create new ways to operate and do business,

It is also critical to recall that, consumer-centric industries such as retail, media, and personal and consumer services are leveraging mobility to engage and connect with their customers to improve their experience, bolster loyalty, and generate larger sales per customer.

According to IDC, an estimated $901 billion was spent worldwide on mobile technologies in 2014. Wireless data and smartphones comprised the lion's share of this spending and the opportunity is forecast to reach $1.2 trillion by 2019. 

Each vertical is different in terms of its underlying industry drivers, barriers, and potential benefits.
