The study found that enterprises tend to think of their wireless data carrier as their primary vendor of mobility products. About 39 percent of respondents felt that way, according to the survey.
"Businesses are thinking of their carriers such as Verizon Wireless and others as their primary vendor because reliability and coverage is so critical," March said. "However, other players such as handset manufacturers and computer makers may grow in influence as more productivity and industry-specific applications are developed for wireless."
The survey also found that Motorola was the preferred brand for mobile voice equipment among respondents and Research In Motion's BlackBerry was the preferred data services provider, just edging out Dell and Hewlett-Packard.
The survey questioned a panel of more than 400 IT decision makers, according to the company.
