Mobile Working Report 2011

At a time when budgets are under unprecedented pressure, the argument for introducing mobile working has never been more compelling. And this is supported by NDL’s 2011 Mobile Working Report, which is now published. It shows that there’s been a huge rise in the number of organisations who are driving cash savings through mobile working. In addition, it seems that many of the respondents are now accelerating the implementation of mobile projects as part of their cost cutting agenda.At a time when budgets are under unprecedented pressure, the argument for introducing mobile working has never been more compelling.

Mobile Working Survey, Spring 2010

<p>This is the second time that NDL has produced its Mobile Working Survey. This in-depth report looks at the adoption and use by UK local authorities of mobile technology. Previously this formed part of NDL’s more extensive survey of the deployment of integration technology but the continuing increase in use of mobile devices for remote working has again prompted a separate report.</p> <p><br /> As with last year’s report, the 2010 survey looks at the adoption and use of mobile technologies in two key areas: Personal Information Management (PIM), such as calendar and email, and Line of Business (LOB), covering process applications. It also looks at the benefits of and barriers to mobile working. This year however the survey has been extended to drill down further into the specific LOB applications where mobile working is being used. The overwhelming message coming through from respondents is that, without doubt, this is supporting the service transformation agenda, in particular by driving efficiencies and improving service delivery.</p>

Mobile Working Survey, 2008

Over the course of the last 5 years, ndl-metascybe has been conducting a detailed annual survey into the role of integrated information technology in the transformation of service delivery by Local Government throughout the UK. Three years ago, we researched the use of field-based mobile devices as part of that exercise. With the rapid growth of this technology and its application, the subject has now grown to a point where it is felt that it deserves its own detailed research and report rather than being published as a part of our annual Local Government CRM and Integration Survey, (also published in October 2008).<br /> <br /> <br /> This Mobile Working survey and report examines the adoption and use of mobile technologies by UK Local Government organisations in two areas: 1. Personal Information Management (PIM); e-mail, calendar etc. and 2. Line-of-Business (LOB) applications such as surveys, reporting and work force scheduling.Over the course of the last 5 years, ndl-metascybe has been conducting a detailed annual survey into the role of integrated information technology in the transformation of service delivery by Local Government throughout the UK.

CRM Report, 2007

This is the fourth year in which we have conducted our survey of the take-up and implementation of CRM systems and related technologies in the Local Government sector. In the process of completing each of these annual reports we have spoken at length to over 400 individual Authorities and have seen signifi cant changes in their view and approach to the adoption of technology and its effect on their ability to deliver services to citizens.This is the fourth year in which we have conducted our survey of the take-up and implementation of CRM systems and related technologies in the Local Government sector.
