Mobility is already making a major impact
with many organizations worldwide; increased
flexibility, new services, greater productivity,
employee satisfaction and rapid return on
investment are all part of the mobility
revolution. Mobile phones and mobile devices
have deep penetration within many organizations.
Most organizations have around 30% of their
workforce already mobile; of these workers
there is almost 100% penetration of mobile
devices used for voice and an increasing
penetration for data. As the usage of mobile
data increases, there are security risks
that must be acknowledged and dealt with.
At the same time, organizations remain pressed
on the expenditure front.
This presentation will look at where the
mobility market is headed, how to enable
and secure a mobile workforce and show some
examples of mobility in use.

With an expanding
mobile workforce and increasing availability
of technologies to optimize efficiency and
productivity and the need to be competitively
differentiated, enterprises are looking into
mobilizing their Intranets and Extranets.
How do enterprises plan and implement their
enterprise mobility roadmap? What are the
key criteria in vendor selection? What are
the business and technical issues that confront
organizations embarking on their plans? What
are some of the solutions used to overcome
these roadblocks? In this session, IDC draws
from interviews and focus group studies conducted
within the region to deliver a essential checklist
for companies seeking to embark on their enterprise
mobility journey and for those seeking to
improve on their currently mobility deployment.

The Evolution of the Personal
Area Network |
| |
|
 |
Eric
Schneider
Marketing Director,
Bluetooth SIG, Inc. |
| |
|
The Personal Area Network (PAN)
has taken giant steps forward in the past
5 years with the introduction and steady maturity
of Bluetooth wireless technology and is positioned
to become more robust and dynamic with the
introduction of vastly higher data rates made
possible by Ultra-Wide Band technology. To
date, PAN adoption has been consumer driven
and making its way into the enterprise arena
via the individual user rather than the enterprise
IT infrastructure. Companies that prepare
for the coming onslaught of the products and
there capabilities, by accepting PAN as a
value added business tool and engage with
it, are more likely to realize fewer security
risks and create greater efficiencies. |

3G in Your Enterprise
|

Soma
Ramasamy
Director, Operator Enterprise Solutions South

Pte Ltd |

Mobility in Enterprises
is a fast establishing trend. Beginning with
voice, and now basic office applications such
as Email, mobile workers will soon be able
to work just as effectively away from the
office, as they can in the office. With the
advent of 3G, bandwidth should be less of
a concern for majority of corporate applications
to be accessed wirelessly.
However, taking the core enterprise applications
mobile is a less explored territory. It
should be based on clear business objectives/
goals and be grounded in sound business
case. Prioritizing the target audience and
right applications is also a task that needs
careful consideration. In this session,
the speaker will share with you Ericsson's
experience and insights in Enterprises leveraging
the 3G technology.
