Wealth managers prefer Apple over RIM devices
The research firm, which focuses on financial services,
conducted the survey in March, well before the recent RIM
outage which left large pockets of BlackBerry users around the
world without access to email and other functions.The study found that using mobile devices was increasingly
important to advisers, many of whom service clients with
hand-held devices who have access to online brokerage
services.Nearly half the advisers surveyed said having access to
business applications was an “important” or “very important”
part of their technology strategy for 2011.
