Mobile Commerce

According to "Mobile Commerce: State of the Market", one of the most popular corporate mobile computing initiatives is the BYOD (bring your own device) trend. In this report, we have seen the mobile commerce market is becoming strong and powerful.

For example: In June 2012, 41% of executives from InformationWeek`s 500 companies have polled widespread deployment of employee entrance to corporate apps through personal devices while 29% have limited deployment.

Apart from, a mobile version of a customer website (39% widespread deployment / 14% limited deployment), mobile apps for employees (25% / 29%) and mobile apps for customers (37% / 24%) are also included in deployed mobile commerce initiatives.

Difference between NFC vs. Cloud Mobile Payments

There are huge difference between a cloud-based approach and a device-based near field communications (NFC) when it comes to accepting mobile payments, according to the report. Secure hardware like a SIM card is also involved in NFC that allows storage of financial data while consumer data is stored in cloud-based stores in the cloud and makes it available to smart devices through secure access.

Nothing is ‘correct'. Greater simplicity at the POS is offered by NFC while fewer infrastructures are required by cloud and is simpler to upgrade. It is recommended by InformationWeek to company that accepting payment through mobile not totally commit to either approach and continue open to a both option that unites elements of both approaches.

Moreover, cloud advantages are no required change to POS infrastructure and disadvantages are the requirement of Internet connectivity at the POS.
