Mobility and Convergence
    Alfred Goh

Alfred Goh
System Engineering Manager for Asia Pacific, Enterprise Solutions, Nokia

    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 mobilty deployment.

The Evolution of the Personal Area Network
   

Eric Schneider
Marketing Director, Bluetooth SIG APAC and Japan

    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.
