2004-2005 Outlook for enterprise mobile vendors: Many have survived, but who will prosper?

The 451 Group believes 2004 will be a key transition year for companies that develop enterprise mobile software. At stake is their ability to seize what 451 analysts believe will be a significant marketplace upturn in this segment by late 2004 and early 2005. The next 18 months, thus, will be a key period and will see a marked pickup in the level of partnering and M&A activity.

These are just some of the findings of the 451 Special Report - '2004-2005 Outlook for enterprise mobile vendors: Many have survived, but who will prosper?' - which analyzes the shifting dynamics of the enterprise mobile software market and explores the go-to-market strategies that are likely to succeed. The report further delves into the competitive environment for key vendors (see below for a comprehensive list of companies), focusing on three key groups: 1) mobile office and mobile email vendors, 2) synchronization vendors and 3) mobile middleware and mobile applications vendors.

This report is 241 pages and was written by Tony Rizzo, sector head for enterprise mobile analysis; Steve Wallage, director of research; and William Fellows, principal analyst.
