When it comes to wireless technologies used to empower a mobile workforce, ROI seems to be a minor issue.
For many companies like Northrup Grumman, Boeing, and others cost isn’t the issue but total connectivity of the workforce is.
The challenge is delivering the information that fit on small LCD screens of these mobile devices.
Mobile computing capabilities have become “a critical component of a company’s success.”

In the microcomputer market, Apple shrank from an industry leader to a niche player because it designed closed systems with proprietary hardware and software.
The runaway success of Apple’s iPod has helped boost the market share of the iMac and other desktop and portable computers in Apple’s Mac lineup.
Since the arrival of the iPod, Apple’s share of the desktop and portable computer market in the US has almost doubled, reaching just under 6 percent in early 2006.
Apple’s strategy of closed system of the iPod really paid off. 28

Computerized speech recognition technology has become smarter, easier to use, and more integrated with other applications.
According to Data Monitor analyst Daniel Hong, “Speech technology is finally transitioning from a cool technology to a business solution.”
According to Data Monitor, the average call-center call costs $5 if handled by an employee but 50 cents with a self-service, speech-enabled system.
Today technical advances are enabling companies new uses for automated speech systems and helping them save millions of dollars.

1. Speech recognition technology is advancing rapidly in terms of its ability to simulate natural language conversations and accept common phrases.
• Using the Internet, research the state of the art in speech recognition technology. A good place to start would be the web sites of the speech recognition system developers mentioned in the case.

2. Simply simulating natural conversations is but one capability of speech software applications. Text-to-speech, voice verification, and speech-to-text are a few others. ◦ Brainstorm about how speech recognition systems
could be used in innovative and useful ways. Do you think we will eventually eliminate the need for humans in common telephone interactions? Is this good or bad?
