Abstract
Mobile business solutions are becoming indispensable components of realtime enterprises. Mobile services and applications open up new business opportunities for companies and can contribute to more efficient and effective use of resources, allowing considerable cost savings. Profitable use of mobile business solutions requires a modern, open company IT infrastructure that should, however, be a matter of course for real-time enterprises. An open IT infrastructure that can also be used on the move allows customers direct access to services offered by the companies. As well, business partners, suppliers and mobile employees can access the company network and its resources at any time. Apart from the resulting advantages for the company, however, this openness places high demands on company security, centrally important to modern networked companies.
