No one could argue that Samsung isn’t a dominant force in the smartphone and tablet industry. Consumers are flocking to these devices. But the word “consumers” is the key one in that last sentence. In spite of Samsung’s successes in selling tablets and smartphones to consumers, it still has a lot of work to do to lure business leaders to consider its phones.<\/p>\n

A recent story in the Wall Street Journal states that Samsung is currently the globe’s top seller of smartphones to consumers. The story, though, also says that if Samsung is to continue to grow it must master a new talent: Selling its smartphones to businesses, as well. That is an area in which the smartphone giant is not yet thriving.<\/p>\n

Samsung’s mobile security system, known as Knox, has experienced costly delays and performance problems. This has caused some business leaders to steer clear of making Samsung smartphones their devices of choice.<\/p>\n

This leaves an opening for Samsung, if the company can first boost its mobile security.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
