The Mobile Imperative explores the fast-changing business of wireless communication with an emphasis on the growing variety of wireless devices and emerging Web service standards. Montgomery Research launched this project during 2003 with key sponsorship from Intel Corp.

The project features a boardroom-quality journal and an interactive online resource. Because mobile computing and wireless technologies continue to redefine the traditional workplace, there are many stories to tell about mobile solutions. The Mobile Imperative helps senior line of business executives understand the business benefits of designing for the mobile user. It includes editorial contributions from senior executives, solution providers, analysts, end users and academics.

These leaders discuss the best tools, processes, and management strategies as mobile communications grow. White papers discuss such topics as: rising demands for data storage; reliability of high-speed server access; implementation of Web services with asynchronous applications; and cross-platform data integration.
