Purpose

• Provide Background Information for all OMA WGs
• Written by Enterprise IT people to convey a
  contrasting perspective from the consumer market
• Enterprise IT can be viewed as mini-ISPs that
  combine the functions of an operator, an
  integrator and an application developer
• Contains some Enterprise IT expectations for the
  successful partnering with members of the value
  chain needed for the delivery of mobile wireless
  business solutions.

Needs of Enterprise IT differ from those of the
general consumer market and have not been widely
considered in OMA

Introduction

• The technology used by Enterprise IT must
• Enable an increase in Enterprise business
  revenue,
• Reduce the costs of conducting business, or
• Provide a means for the Enterprise to compete
  more effectively in the marketplace.
• Enterprise IT has all the concerns of a mobile
  operator with direct responsibility for end user
  success
• Enterprise IT at large companies think alike and
  have similar rules of engagement can come to a
  consensus on preferences and engagement
  guidelines
• It is difficult to bring something new to
  Enterprise IT without understanding their
  concerns with specific solutions and without
  understanding their current environments.
