UBM TechWeb's Enterprise Connect Explores "The Future Growth of the Mobile Enterprise" Virtual Event, Powered by UBM Studios
CHICAGO, June 21, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- UBM TechWeb's Enterprise Connect presented "The Future of the Mobile Enterprise" virtual event, an intensive online examination of ways the enterprise can tie mobile workers more closely to the enterprise's core communications systems, while also enabling UC applications and functions on mobile users' devices, on June 8, 2011. Targeted to enterprise managers and decision-makers, the event offered attendees an overview of what users are doing as well as key information on how to continually leverage the newest mobile capabilities to gain competitive advantage for the business. UBM Studios provided the virtual environment for the webinar. UBM Studios leads the industry in world-class user engagement for virtual environments, social networking and gaming.
The virtual event drew over 1,000 registrants with strong attendance on the live day, and visitors spent well over 3 hours in the show, on average.
The most significant trend affecting enterprise communications may well be the constant growth in the use and functionality of mobile communications. Users are demanding greater mobility -- in fact; they're not asking for mobility, they're simply implementing it, often by using the mobile devices and services that they have become accustomed to in their lives outside of work.
The five-hour event featured webinar-style sessions that provided attendees with in-depth technical and market information that will help you understand the issues and take immediate action to control costs, implement policies and management systems, and deploy cutting-edge mobile applications.
The virtual event covered the following topics:
- Bringing mobile users into the core enterprise communications platform
- Mobilizing Unified Communications applications and software clients for mobile devices
- Device selection, standardization and configuration
- The role of tablets and next-generation docking systems in enterprise mobility
- Managing the mobile workforce
- Controlling cellular/mobility costs
- Which model best serves the enterprise: The "app store" or mobile web browsers?
Alcatel-Lucent was the diamond sponsor of the event, while AppNeta and Plantronics were event sponsors.
