Mobile intranet

Being able to access the intranet from anywhere is already a reality for many organisations. However, very few are providing effective mobile access on devices such as Blackberrys or iPhones. Mostly, the service is set up for the PC, but increasingly people want access through a truly mobile device – and which may not even normally be part of their corporate network. The danger is that it will take some time for our IT colleagues to step up to this challenge, which will be in stark contrast to the speed with which apps for these small devices are appearing which, of course, is setting our expectations.
