The digital transformation is shaping the way the world operates. What used to take days or weeks can now be done with the click of a button. One person with a smartphone has more computing power than NASA had in the successful moon landing missions. These changes don’t occur in a vacuum, they impact the lives of people everywhere.
And like any change, the fastest to adapt will thrive. To give you a quick idea of this explosive growth, look at the timeline of mobile devices:
- 1983 First analogue mobile phone
- 1993 IBM Simon – the first smartphone
- 2007 295 million subscribers on 3G networks worldwide
- 2009 3G networks overwhelmed by the growth of bandwidth-intensive applications
- 2010 4G enters the market
- 2017 5G testing around the world
- 2020 6 billion mobile users and the rise of IoT
The digital transformation is altering the landscape of business at every level. Not only that, but it’s speeding up. New apps and technologies enter the market every day. 98% of businesses report that employees use mobile devices for their job.

Managed Mobility Services includes the entire life-cycle of mobility management – from staging and kitting, mobile expense management, monitoring and securing, all the way up to end-of-life disposition. This is all a part of the ongoing digital transformation – the future.
