The way we access the web has changed dramatically, even in just the last few years, with mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets becoming increasingly common at home and in the workplace. However, despite their continued proliferation many enterprises aren't developing their software and websites beyond the desktop version. Whether this is a way to hold onto a bit more of the IT budget, or because someone at the top doesn't see mobile as important enough to develop for, the impact is clear; if your enterprise doesn't have specifically designed mobile sites, you will lose business.
