An important trait of mobile workforce management is his continual use and innovation of smart phone gadgets and devices, all the related rapidly-moving technology is nowadays. An average employee uses a minimum of three kinds of devices and research has shown that at least one of them is his own. This dependence on technology has altered priorities as far as businesses go and has made the workplace a much more flexible area. The onus falls on the IT department to ensure that all the devices handed out are in good working condition. One of the ways of handling a mobile workforce is to provide them with the right kind of devices and related apps. The popular devices are the iPhone which reigns on high right now and close on its heels is the Blackberry. As far as tablets go, the iPad is the one you have to provide to your team. A regular issue that needs to be addressed on a regular basis is that of an app overload. It is seen that on average around every organization has around 200 off apps and these run through the entire hierarchy of the organization. Almost 61 percent of each company's app portfolio is based on Windows-based apps. Right after this comes the SaaS apps that stand at 10 percent and much lower down are mobile based apps that range around seven percent. As time goes by, the diversity in apps is bound to increase and we may soon have some apps that combine Windows and SaaS applications. An important concern when it comes to mobile workforce management is the security that exists on these devices. The Cloud has increasingly becoming the choice of storage for many companies, despite which there are significant number who have their reservations on it. If you aim to get the most out of your mobile workforce, then it's their devices as well as their mobile workforce management apps that you will have to manage. Emphasis has to be placed on corporate apps and their mobile workforce management data. Work in close coordination with the IT department of the company in order to be able to come up with a management scheme that works at enhancing the company's portfolio. You will need to have detailed discussions with the teams on the field as well as their reporting managers. Only then will you be able to come up with the right kind of management scheme and work order.
