							Business has gone mobile. The number of employees that expect access to network resources to improve productivity has increased significantly over the past few years and the trend shows little sign of slowing anytime soon. Business mobility means consistent access to corporate applications over the right network to the right user at the right time. Delivering this experience requires IT to give careful consideration to how the network is architected. The proliferation of mobile devices, the need to unify multiple access networks and the demand for mobility applications has increased the drain on IT resources. Few IT organizations will see an increase in the resources required to meet these impending mobility demands. Yet, a new approach to architecting the mobility network will simplify the delivery of business mobility without requiring a significant increase in IT resources to get the job done. To deliver true business mobility, IT must take a practical approach focused on unifying networks, managing the wave of mobile devices, and enabling mobile application development. IT must evolve existing wireless networks to support a variety of new mobility applications. What's more, these applications must be able to extend across multiple networks and scale from small businesses to the very largest enterprises. To achieve this transition, IT must transform the wireless LAN into a mobility network by creating an open network platform capable of enabling the development of a broad variety of mobility applications designed to improve business agility and competitiveness. Such a platform requires an open interface to allow third parties to source network intelligence in a consistent way without compromising the security or performance of the production network. To achieve this, IT must abstract the services layer from the network layer.
