4 Executive Summary 4

5 Key Study Findings Mobile enterprise value-added services (VAS) are in the radar of information and communication technologies (ICT) companies, as one of the most promising revenue streams in the next years. VAS such as location-based services, Voice VPN, mobile office, mobile cloud computing, application-topeer (A2P), short message service (SMS) and others are being improved and expanded in order to increase average revenue per line (ARPL) and improve customer experience. Telcos want to offer integrated solutions in order to optimize the adoption of mobile enterprise services by small, medium and large businesses. These solutions also drive an increase of data services and voice services of carriers infrastructure, thus providing a base to preserve the traditional telecom business. The ecosystem in Latin America is being developed and the availability of different mobile applications is expected to increase heavily in the next years. Companies are likely to adopt applications under mobile device management (MDM) solutions, in order to guarantee security, and deal with the phenomenon of consumerization, as personal smart device adoption in enterprises keeps growing.

6 Key Study Findings Frost & Sullivan estimates that the mobile enterprise services market revenue for Brazil, Colombia and Mexico, will grow from U.S. $ billion in 2012 to U.S. $ billion in However, many solutions are still tailor-made for special projects. For further adoption, it is important that shelf products are provided by Telcos with easy contract options by clients, as a few Telcos have been doing with cloud services applications stores. We expect that with the evolution of 4G networks and Wi-Fi hotspots, the experience with cloud services will enhance and this will allow the development of more advanced services, including video. For the client, the return on investment needs to be calculated in large projects. However, the as a service model provides an easy access for small and medium enterprises to adopt applications and services. The evolution of this model is resulting in an increase of productivity and efficiency in this segment, as users make real-time decisions; even if they are away from their physical locations, they still have access to systems that allow better management of operations, such as CRM, Accounting, Supply Chain Management, etc. However, there is still lack of awareness of the benefits that enterprise mobile solutions can deliver. Therefore the challenge is to educate customers and make the service more tangible. Other key industry barriers that need to be addressed are consumer trust on security, and low penetration of data-capable devices. Source: Frost & Sullivan 6

10 Key Definitions Mobile Enterprise Services: Multiple components including plans, devices, operating systems, applications, access options, and corporate policies. This is the comprehensive set of tools and processes an enterprise uses to manage its mobility environment. Mobile Value-added Services (VAS): VAS are enhanced services, which add value to the basic telecommunications services and bearer services for which separate licenses are issued. Location-based Services (LBSs): LBS offer organizations the ability to identify and track locations, goods, and services in the form of directions, or maps and GPS coordination. It also provides location-based time cards, which give the duration of the stay of an employee at a particular location. These services are used in fleet management and vehicle location services, as well as in environments that have mobile equipment. Supply Chain Management (SCM): Supply chain management helps with efficient logistics tracking and planning. The advantages include: mobile dispatch, mobile order tracking, package tracking, instant messaging, on-the-spot mobile printers, exception alerts, virtual real-time vehicle tracking, and the integration of various data collection devices, for example, barcode, RFID (radio frequency identification), electronic signatures, and so on. Field Force Automation (FFA): Timely communication and coordination, both inbound and outbound, to the field are critical for FFA. It enables workflow processes, service scheduling, status reporting, remote data entry, and a host of other benefits. Mobile sales force automation (SFA): involves the extension of corporate customer relationship management (CRM)/SFA systems to mobile devices. This often allows itinerant, field sales personnel to access product information, pricing, inventory status, and customer information on mobile devices enabling users to perform contact management, calendar entries, opportunity analyses, and order management functions, while being away from their office environment.

Currently the majority of the mobile enterprise solutions have custom design based on the customer business requirement. There a few shelf products available and these services also need to be adapted for implementation depending on the client infrastructure. Most operators use development partners. In this case, the customer should contact the own partner if it has software problems. If happens a hardware or information transmission problem, the partner will contact the manufacturer or the operator itself. The advantage of been a Telco customer is that mobility is its core business and it can develop customized solutions with all the knowledge required for this. Source: Frost & Sullivan 19
