A vast number of enterprise mobility apps reside not on some App Store but on access controlled servers that reside behind corporate firewalls.

 

These enterprise mobility apps are like the "dark matter" of the apps universe. They cannot be discovered by any search engine and can be accessed only by people with the correct set of permissions to the corporate servers that host them. In that sense, they are like that the hundreds of thousands of corporate intranet websites that are an invisible part of the internet.

 

In this part of the book, we take a systematic deep dive into the role of mobility in the corporate world. We’ll flesh out the different ways in which mobile ecosystems can improve business processes and open new opportunities for selling in various sectors such as Retail, Logistics, Transportation, Manufacturing, Service and Support, Healthcare and so on.

 

Each chapter in this part of the book is devoted to a different business sector and describes the role of mobile technology in that sector.
