….Enablement is winning

Deliver Logic Over Logistics Connectivity is no longer the barrier Cost savings overwhelm security objections Challenges Remain

Which platform to target Which paradigm to follow (Native or WebApp) Accordion Form Factors Security is still a risk

Apps Over Assets


IT must still address issues of data security and development logistics that are made more complicated with mobile delivery.

It’s a dirty job but somebody has to do it
