mobility is consistently ranked as one of the top investment priorities
by leading CIOs. New innovations in devices, applications, and network
technologies continue to make enterprise mobility challenging,
interesting, and, if done right, profitable.
Exploring the Direction of Enterprise Mobility
Chris Fletcher, Research Director of AMR's Customer Management and Mobility practice, has been involved with enterprise applications and enterprise mobility for more than ten years. He will discuss Enterprise Mobility - Where is the Low-Hanging Fruit? Fletcher will then lead a panel of industry experts to explore some of today's major enterprise mobility questions such as:
- Which applications are the mobile "low hanging fruit" for most companies?
- What metrics should we use to make cost-justify an investment in mobility, especially in this economy?
- How feasible (and defensible) are mobile Web 2.0 applications such as collaboration, presence, Instant Messaging (IM), Twitter. Facebook, and LinkedIn?
- What types of problems do companies implementing mobile applications typically encounter? Security risks? Device maintenance and device management? User push-back?
- What changes can we expect to see in enterprise mobility over the next three years?
