The
Blackberry increases the
efficiency of mobile workers, with the average user converting
an average of 60 minutes downtime into productive time each day,
according to a survey by independent research company Ipsos
Reid.
Research In Motion (RIM) unveiled the results of the research
it commissioned from looking at the tangible time saving and
productivity benefits of Blackberry.
For workers on the move, Blackberry not only increases their
productivity, but also that of their overall team, with the
research finding that users increase team efficiency by 38%.
As mobile technology becomes increasingly sophisticated, the
number of employees working on the move, remotely and flexibly is
growing. Recent Yankee Group research found that more than 50% of
small business employees in Europe are classified as mobile
workers.
The study was conducted with 1,335 Blackberry smartphone users
and 1,387 IT managers in North America, Europe, Asia Pacific and
Latin America.
