A study about the adoption of mobile applications for work environments, conducted by research house Saffron Hill for Nokia, covered 300 firms each with at least 50 staff and an annual revenue of more than US$2 million in the cities of Bangkok, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, New Delhi, Bangalore and Mumbai.

The findings showed 86% of the companies surveyed in Bangkok have adopted at least two mobile applications for work, including mobile e-mail and mobile calender, followed by Bangalore at 68% and Singapore at 60%.

Mathia Nappappan, the vice-president of enterprise solutions at Nokia:
''One of the biggest things that we have learned from this survey was clearly the attitude of companies seeking to have a highly productive workforce and ensuring employees get a better work-life balance. Asia has always been at the forefront of the mobile revolution,'' she noted.
