From the Paper:

"Phase 1 - Large enterprise management vendors will develop true 'mobile expertise', integrating mobile elements into their core solution offerings (as opposed to the point solutions they offer today). Phase 2 - Business process management (BPM) vendors will recognize that mobile solutions provide a considerable opportunity and look to add BPM elements to existing management solutions. As a result, business processes that utilize mobile technology may then be exposed, managed and manipulated as and when necessary in order to generate even greater cost savings and efficiencies. Phase 3 - Following BPM integration into management solutions, business activity monitoring (BAM) will start to play a role, so that enterprises may start to understand the dynamics of various parts of multiple processes."
