Why do enterprises need SMS based mobile data services?
SMS based mobile data services are not necessary for every enterprise or every division within an enterprise. As with any new communications IT application or service, the investment and cost of an implementation must be balanced by a sufficient economic return. Several research firms have stated that two to three years after a mobile data services implementation a company should see a positive return on their investment.
