Corporate Applications of Wireless Networking: We Still Have a Lot of Room to Roam

by Gabriele Piccoli

In this issue of Cutter Benchmark Review, we focus on the corporate applications of wireless networking. We chose this topic because we seem to be on the threshold of wireless networking moving from being an interesting new development with some potential, to it becoming a staple technology of modern organizations. More importantly, while much of the current focus is on wireless as the backbone of communication introduced to create efficiencies, it may be time to think about how to use the wireless and mobile infrastructure to build innovative applications. As we noted in last month's issue, IT innovation is back in IT shops, and, as we concluded then, "The time is now to raise the stakes of IT innovations." Wireless applications could prove fertile ground for meeting this challenge, and benchmarking current applications and the state-of-the-art in organizations may provide the launch pad for innovative thinking.
