> Employers should give them powerful, mobile-first business apps and not worry too much about their productivity, even if they run out of office to meet a friend or go to the gym in the middle of the day. They’re always on, even when not physically in the office. Meh. As an engineer, I'm pretty skeptical about this. I only use a mobile device for work purposes when I need to communicate - email or chat. The rest of the time, I spend making things on a text editor/browser. I certainly don't wish I was productive on the walk to the coffee shop. I think when you're a BI tool primarily used for research ("I am seeking the answer to this question"), you're probably going to be used on the desktop more. Think the Bloomberg terminal - people use these tools in the office, not on the go. Conversely, when you're a "pull" tool - people check your app to see if there are updates - then mobile seems more important. Mobile is for constant consumption.
