Mobility adoption among Asia/Pacific organizations continues to gain steady traction, with most businesses already having some form of basic mobility services in place. These organizations are now looking to leverage mobility to drive a more engaging and personal user experience. In many cases, this push is in fact being driven by the disruption brought about by technology (think Fintech's influence on the financial services sector) as incumbent organizations realize that their competition is no longer their competition, and are in fact in the same journey in trying to remain relevant in an increasingly transformative world. But while the message about devices and applications has already been driven home countless times, integrating and incorporating them remains a headache as many organizations still struggle to fully realize the value of mobility within their business. The challenge for enterprises with mobility continues to be the same – delivering a secure and personal experience to their employees, partners and consumers. What is changing though, is the definition of mobility itself.

Mobility as a phenomenon is expanding and taking on a new meaning, driven by an explosion in the type (wearables, drones, etc.) and number (more than 8 billion connected things in APeJ by 2020) of devices as well as the intelligence being built into and around these devices through cognitive technologies. Add AR and VR to the mix and there is a whole new paradigm of experiences being created in the enterprise context. Specifically, IDC observes organizations in the region pivoting around these key trends in their mobile adoption journey:

1. Delivering a Personal and Intuitive User Experience

2. Building a Secure Workspace of The Future

3. Weaving in The Next Wave of Computing Through AR/VR

4. Mobility Requires Contextual Solution-Selling
