The top three reasons that enterprises choose Windows Mobile are:-

1. Return on investment
2. Increased productivity
3. Familiar and easy to use

Return on Investment

An IDC study of six companies who had implemented Windows Mobile solutions found that the companies had paid back the cost of implementation in 4.3 months. The three-year return on investment (ROI) of implementing the solution was 300%. The companies ranged from 2,500 to 30,000 and used Pocket PCs or Smartphones. The study found that workers added 36 hours of productivity annually after companies deployed a mobile solution.

Increased productivity

Mobility changes the way that work gets done. A Windows Mobile powered device can improve the productivity of your mobile workforce by automating paper powered workflows. Instead of asking your field personnel to write up orders, return to the office, and enter the orders into the computer, costing time and risking data loss, why not have your personnel enter the data and route it automatically to your central database?
Sales force personnel can respond more efficiently to customer questions about inventory, product information, and price changes. Field service professionals became more efficient in scheduling, dispatching, and arriving on time with the correct part. This increased productivity improves your revenue streams.

Familiar and easy to use

With Windows Mobile powered devices, businesses can quickly increase productivity and reduce training time by extending familiar applications such as Outlook, Word, PowerPoint, and Excel to their mobile devices.
