This IDC study provides insights on trends on small businesses' adoption of enterprise mobility based on IDC's Asia/Pacific (Excluding Japan) Communications Survey, 2006 in 11 markets in the region. The survey findings presented in this study focus on the mobility adoption patterns and spending plans of small businesses (<100 employees) in the region. The analyses were based on the survey results segmented by country. This IDC study also provides guidance to enterprise mobility vendors targeting small businesses in key markets in Asia/Pacific (excluding Japan) or APEJ and what is prompting small businesses to take the mobility route.

"Enterprise mobility offers cost-effective tools for small businesses in APEJ to enhance their workforce productivity. Mobility solutions and devices can help small businesses gain a more even footing in the market and bridge the digital divide between small and medium-sized to large enterprises," says Shalini Verma, senior market analyst, Enterprise Mobility Research, IDC Asia/Pacific.
