Wednesday, Mar 21 - 5:00 PM
The new wave of smart mobile devices that's taking the industry by storm is doing far more than just making data and applications available anywhere. As new mobile platforms such as iOS and Android mature into enterprise-class offerings, they are introducing fundamentally new paradigms for how organizations work with and provide business solutions with computing devices. By taking advantage of brand new user experiences such as touch interfaces, a wealth of sensor data, and an endless stream of innovation from app stores; smart mobile is enabling entirely new types of applications that are highly usable, innovative, and more productive. CIOs this year are making an update of their application portfolios with mobile capabilities a top priority. This new focus on delivering capability "mobile first" is making legacy platforms "second class citizens." These new devices provide a stunning array of emerging capabilities well beyond traditional computing devices and can enable a fresh generation of outside-the-box solutions that drive higher business performance. The new features and capabilities of touch-based next-generation mobile is bringing augmented reality, facial recognition, high resolution 3D location, ambient collaboration, in-device real-time OCR, virtual video conferencing, data visualization, just-in-time business intelligence, and other sophisticated capabilities that can be employed for genuine competitive advantage for those that can adopt them effectively. The other big industry trend, social media, is also converging with smart mobility to enable a new generation of applications that are pervasively connected to co-workers, customers, and partners in the context of their work. This keynote session will explore how organizations understand the ramifications and get ahead of the new mobile revolution and truly go mobility-first.
