Motorola Mobility at Forrester Security Conference

At the Forrester Security conference this week, Forrester shared an interesting finding: that mobile workers are more productive than non-mobile workers. They shared a few facts from their research, including mobile employees work 20% more, commute further and are compensated 44% more than their peers. In addition, Forrester found the average mobile worker has at least 3 devices.

At Motorola, we’re obviously more mobile than your average firm -- but we did find that widely deploying smartphones to our employees increased email throughput by 30%. In other words, allowing our employees to easily communicate from any location at any time improved communication.

I shared our new Droid RAZR and MOTOACTV Android watch with many IT colleagues at the conference and was pleased with their enthusiasm. One feature of our new MOTOACTV device is that it actually lets you disable call/text/calendar notifications while you exercise -- giving users a few moments of quiet. Of course given my lack of physical fitness, my runs are short and so are my moments of quiet.

Quick question as I fly back today -- if the MOTOACTV watch has 125,000 times the storage capacity of the first Compaq portable computer in 1983, do I need to treat my watch like a laptop at the security checkpoint?
