Abstract
This IDC study explores adoption of devices by small and
medium-sized businesses and vendor opportunities. IDC' s 2009 SMB Mobility IT
Decision-Maker Survey sought insight from respondents in the United States
and Western Europe (represented by Germany and the United Kingdom)
on their companies' device, software, operator, and channel preferences.
"Growing interest
in mobile applications is affecting IT purchasers' decision drivers," says
Timothy Doherty, associate research analyst for Small and Medium Business
Markets: Mobility, "while emerging categories of devices such as wirelessly
enabled netbooks are gaining traction and offering broader choices for
the mobile business."
