Implications: 1) Motorola's dominance in consumer markets vs. enterprise e-mail.
2) IT managers want to work on e-mail applications, but are disinterested in handsets.

Analysis: Wireless e-mail in the enterprise depends on the involvement of IT managers.  IT managers are resistant to Motorola's dominance in handsets, RAZR and the subsequent launching of KRZR.  The IT manager wants to implement and manage wireless e-mail applications.  But they do not want to become involved in inventory, replacements, and training for the voice usage of enterprise employees.  The IT manager strives to focus on the capability for the convergence of data and content of wireless and wireline.  RIM has been able to maintain the focus on enterprise integration, with the Pearl being a low key consumer offer.
