A new survey published by industry research firm Evans Data Corporation, Santa Cruz, CA, reveals that the corporate enterprise is uniformly embracing wireless technology. The survey shows that 46.1% of development managers at large corporations plan to develop applications for wireless devices in the coming year, beating out other planned projects such as security enhancements and business-to-business e-commerce. In fact, enterprise developers are leading this phenomenon — another recent Evans Data survey of the general developer population found only 38% planning to develop wireless applications.

A notable percentage of development managers — 42.7% — also said that wireless technology is an important mainstream technology in their company. And despite the daunting task of extending current enterprise applications to incorporate wireless technology, 39.9% of development managers feel this is important enough to implement the changes.
