Yes, It is important for our business because we are an IT e-commerce company selling on line corporate database to companies..

database is being used by the sales people who cant come on line every time to access the database from our website.. Now imagine , if we start providing mobile app for our users how it would be easier for them to use our services:
a) they can save huge time- from mobile itself they can access the information
b) easy to use
c) If any one needs information about any company urgently, by simply login on mobile app they will have the details in seconds

so end of the day I will be getting more visitors/users , hence it is useful for our organisation.

Well..It dpends on your business..Going mobile would be of not much use if you are into a manufacturing business..Similarly even in service industry cos selling say software won't have much benefit with this model..

But yes any co. who is in B2C model or co. into IT ecom./website concentrated business can surely benefit by going mobile..With your online business/website accessible on mobile..it definitely would have higher reach i.e. more visibility,acceptability,loyalty & traffic on your website.

The other perspective of using mobile in business has already being accepted widely ..The success of BlackBerry and now the Anroid smart phones in business is one example for this.

Taking Business on Mobile totally depends on Nature of business.. I work for an e-commerce company offering sales solution for our clients..Our business can have huge advantage by having a mobile ERP, mobile CRM and even online forms. Today lot of companies are opting for Virtual office and Work from home approach..in this case if give our solution on Mobile phone it becomes easy for decision makers as well as end users to use our product effectively..

>Decision makers can assign daily target to sales force and can view result by EOD on their mobile phone..
>In free time Sales people can hang out on sales forum and discuss their challenges and can get expert advice.
>MNC and Corporates are moving toward BYOD Concept (Bring your own device)therefore key executives are using their Black Berry,Iphone,Ipad to access email..if we have mobile app integration they can send Email with Mobile devices...using our Sales solution
>Mobile App can also provide good branding and visibility to our company by WOM( Word of Mouth)..if we have our Mobile app in people's hand they can show their friends,peers etc and explain them how they are getting benefited by it.

Therefore looking at future trend and lifestyle I strongly recommend our business to go mobile.
