offering with three services. The Enterprise Mobility Strategy service helps
companies aligning their mobility strategy to the overall business strategy. The Use
Case service is important to find, evaluate and prioritise appropriate scenarios for

able to give advice how a company will be transformed into a mobilised enterprise.
After the analysis part, the Transition Management proposal should help
organisations in their transformation process with various services. It was found out
in the investigation that many companies have been started recently or plan to start
the transformation phase, so based on their needs dedicated services of Transition
Management offering would be beneficial for them. A pilot project should give enterprise the opportunity to gain experience and build knowledge within the new
topic. Further business app development and its integration are key services to
build efficient and user friendly mobile solutions, which utilise business processes
and leverage user productivity. [...]
