11. Analysts’ Market View
Mobile messaging is the most effective tool in initiating mobile
moments to drive consumer engagement and financial results.
For the next 10 years, mobile will be the heart of customer engagement.
For enterprises to embrace mobile as a strategic advantage, they must
be able to leverage the flexibility, scale, and economy that only a
mobile engagement platform can provide.
The mobile phone is ubiquitous. It’s the most widely adopted device
in recent history.
