Mobile and Pervasive applications have received considerable attention over the last few years, extending the application boundaries of modern information and communication technology. However, the successful adoption of such systems in an enterprise relies on a positive investment decision. As general managers and chief information officers (CIOs) still lack exhaustive experience with ubiquitous systems, there is a need to communicate this potential to this target group, guided by reliable corporate benefit arguments. This paper presents a set of simple taxonomies that help structuring and thereby communicating the nature and benefits of mobile and pervasive systems for corporate evaluation purposes. The taxonomies were validated involving a survey gathering the opinions of 20 CIOs. The taxonomy use is portrayed in a mobile logistics application case from the chemical industry.
