According to a report titled “Definition of a ‘Mobile Workforce’” published November 18, 2006 by William Clark of Gartner, more than 90 percent of large enterprises support some type of mobile work style and mobility is one of the top five priorities for CIOs. In the same report, Clark estimates, based on vertical-industry analysis that more than 45 percent of U.S. workers are away from their primary work area at least eight working hours per week. Based on estimations provided in Clark’s report, by 2009, only about 30 percent of knowledge work will not involve some form of mobile communications.
