Ultra-mobile working in 2025: New opportunities and possibilities for the world of work
It’s going to be exciting this year – ultra-mobile working is on the rise. This means many new possibilities for the way we work. Read this blog to find out what we can expect in the field of ultra-mobile working in 2025.
Our everyday working lives are increasingly shifting to the mobile world: quickly checking emails, arranging appointments or forwarding urgent documents while on the move. This rapid technological development and the associated requirements for flexibility and security present companies with new challenges. At the same time, however, they also open up new opportunities. In 2025, some key trends will permanently change the way we work.
Trend 1: The workplace is becoming increasingly flexible
We are facing a new era: mobile working is evolving into ultra-mobile working. While notebooks have formed the backbone of flexible working for decades, smartphones and tablets are increasingly taking over this role. The reasons for this are simple: modern devices are now just as powerful as notebooks, but are much more compact and user-friendly. Just reach into your jacket pocket and all the tools you need are at your fingertips.
With the latest generations of operating systems, mobile devices are becoming fully-fledged workstations. They can be easily connected to a monitor, keyboard and mouse. Desktop mode makes it possible for mobile devices to offer the same functions as conventional computers – without any disruption to the workflow. In addition, more and more companies and public authorities are increasingly turning to cloud-based solutions that enable access to important resources from any device.
Trend 2: Data sovereignty takes on a whole new significance
With the increase in ultra-mobile working and the increased use of cloud services, the topic of data sovereignty is becoming more and more important in companies. Data sovereignty is first and foremost about having complete control and transparency over your own data – from its origin and use to access rights.
Data sovereignty is the key to having and retaining control over your own data at all times. This is especially true when data is migrated to the cloud. Companies in highly regulated sectors such as healthcare, the financial industry or the insurance sector, but also the public sector, face major challenges here. Without a clearly defined concept for data sovereignty, they run the risk of creating dependencies on cloud providers and failing to meet regulatory requirements.
In the next blog, we will look at the trends of AI, IT security and user responsibility in ultra-mobile working. How does AI enable the next generation mobile office? How can the use of professional and private applications on one device meet IT security requirements?
