Ubiquitous access to information, collaboration, and transactions are fast becoming the norm. Over half of today’s work gets done outside of corporate offices. Data security has become more important than perimeter security. Innovation is driven from the edge of corporate hierarchies. The new business models require partnerships and the mobile workforce requires a well-designed access to business functions from anywhere. In 2011 investments in mobility has gone up sharply, transforming the operating models and improving the collaborative environment between workers, customers and business partners. Device evolutions, mobile enterprise application development platforms and telecom advances have advanced the technology front, while business process redesign frameworks have enabled rapid adoptions leveraging outsourcing. At this seminar expect to hear about today’s technical choices and how they can be best fitted to enable your mobile business.
