Growth of Cloud-Based Mobile Platforms

This morning I was reviewing the preliminary results of my «State of Enterprise Mobility 2013» survey. Over 210 people have now completed it. Thank You!!!!!
The results are very interesting and point to many changes in perceptions and preferences year-over-year. Stay tuned here for the complete and final results soon.
I was surprised to see that 34.7% of participants now prefer cloud-based mobile platforms. That is especially meaningful when you consider 23% don’t even use a mobile platform. If my math is right, 45% of those that use or want to use a mobile platform prefer a cloud-based platform. That is meaningful.
On the topic of mobile security, 42.7% of survey participants prefer a cloud-based mobile security platform. Since 10.7% don’t choose to use mobile security platforms, that means 48% of those that do or plan to use a mobile security platform prefer a cloud-based one.
