Today a rare manager spends most of his time in the office. He is on the go all the time — meetings, negotiations, business trips. But one cannot put off business management even for a moment. A manager should always be in the picture of what is going on in the company and should take well-grounded management decisions on the spot. Besides, in a number of cases it is required to provide average executives (salesmen (mobile agents), service engineers, etc.) with convenient and safe access to corporate information.

Two main components are required to accomplish this task:

• Adequate on-line information about activities of the enterprise
• Possibility to get access to this information regardless of the location of the employee with the help of smartphones and communicators that have lately become quite habitual.

The first task is solved by the corporate information system and sub-systems included into it: corporate mail and electronic document management system, resource planning system (ERP) and various specialized sector-specific systems, budgeting system, analytical system, as well as integration systems — portals and data warehouses, allowing to aggregate and set up a common input pint for dealing with various types of information.

Rapid development of mobile technologies (of mobile networks, as well as of the possibilities of subscriber terminals) also allows to apply effective solutions for the second component of the task.

Composition of the solution:

• Mobile mail
• Mobile office
• Mobile analytical portal
• System of mobile content distribution
• Mobile workplace system
