It's not uncommon for organizations to hire mobility management vendors to save money on their wireless bills, only to see the initial savings disappear after a few years. Without a clear understanding of the reasons why,  frustration can easily build leading to friction between you and your vendor.  By using a benchmark or maturity model to assess your enterprise mobility program, organizations can see continuous improvement, manage expectations properly and develop strong action plans.
