451 Research, an information technology research and advisory company, is out with a new report calling for the Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) market to grow from $3.8 billion in revenue in 2014 to $9.6 billion in 2018.
The research firm defines EMM as a set of tools that include mobile device management, mobile application management, mobile email container applications, mobile application platforms, mobile back-end as a service (MBaaS) and mobile virtualization.
“As enterprises increasingly adopt EMM, we believe this will lead to a market CAGR of 22% from 2013 to 2018,” the report summary reads.
“EMM is moving from tools that control mobility, to instrumental elements that enable productivity for a growing number of mobile-enabled employees,” says Chris Hazelton, Research Director for 451 Research’s Enterprise Mobility channel.
“Mobile apps in the enterprise are growing in importance and are the key to driving business transformation, and EMM will play a key role in putting these apps in the hands of users,” Hazelton adds. “As companies move from a reactive to a mobile-first strategy, EMM technologies will be the foundation for any deployment.”
