“It’s therefore in the Cupertino, California-based technology giant’s best interests to start catering for the needs of those in business, particularly if it can ultimately add to the company’s bottom line,” Whittaker writes. “With the expected release of Apple’s next iteration of its mobile platform, iOS 7, later this year, what can we hope to expect to appease the burgeoning number of enterprise users?”
Whittaker writes, “Here are 15 suggestions that would bolster Apple’s relationship with its enterprise customers.”
• A physical divide between ‘personal’ and ‘work’
• Better email management
