5 things to watch for at 2013's biggest mobile-tech show - CNN.com

(CNN) -- Starting February 25, more than 65,000 people are expected to descend on Barcelona, Spain for Mobile World Congress (MWC): a trade show for the mobile industry to show off its latest phones, tablets, apps and services.
It's the biggest show for mobile technology, and as mobile is so hot right now, it's arguably the most important show in tech overall. Most companies use it as the platform to set out their agenda for the year and give us a taste of the innovations we can expect to see, but there's a more practical reason why this show matters so much to the companies exhibiting there.

Building a Successful Enterprise Mobility Roadmap


Date: Monday, February 11, 2013
Time:
10:00am PT / 1:00pm ET
Duration:
60 minutes

Enterprise Mobility is not a new concept, but these days it is having a disruptive impact on many organizations. Many IT departments feel unable to respond effectively due to the influx of new devices and the growing internal demand for app development. When trying to deal with these challenges, the result is often the sacrifice of long-term effectiveness to meet short-term goals.
Now is the time to actively create a roadmap to guide your organization's mobility efforts, especially if Gartner's predictions prove accurate- that within 2 to 3 years, 40% of the workforce will be mobile and 70% of customers will interact with you via mobile device.
Whether you are initiating or expanding a mobility program, if your organization lacks or is struggling with the process, resources and vision necessary to fully embrace the new mobile paradigm of business, this webcast is for you.
  • What you should do now to manage BYOD and before you develop an app
  • The 4 Crippling Mistakes companies make
  • The 5 "Must-haves" in a mobility strategy
  • What two companies discovered that completely changed - almost everything
  • How a two-week assessment protects against risky assumptions, hasty decision-making and suboptimal results.




Why Participate? This Webcast illustrates step by step what must be done when initiating or expanding a mobility program. This may be your best-ever opportunity to take an objective, holistic view of enterprise mobility - the strategy, capabilities, infrastructure requirements and internal collaboration crucial to success - but which too often get lost in the rush to deploy tactical level mobility.
Take advantage of this Webcast opportunity to hear a holistic view of enterprise mobility, and get a jumpstart on creating your mobility roadmap.
