Mobility is here to stay, and its footprint and influence are expanding. Are you descending into a mobile free-for-all, or do you feel confident that you’ve got your mobile data, devices and apps under control? There are numerous enterprise mobility management approaches and tools available (and still emerging!) for securing mobile data and developing, delivering and managing mobile apps.

When it comes to BYOD, few companies want to implement every bell and whistle because (a) they don’t have time, (b) they don’t have the skilled staff, (c) they don’t have the budget, (d) they don’t see the need, or more likely, (e) all of the above. Since Wi-Fi takes center stage in any BYOD initiative, the good news is most organizations already have the right network components to address their BYOD basics without having to purchase more network equipment. This session will focus on how to simply address BYOD issues without a lot of pain and anguish. Topics will include identifying and managing devices, providing simple device security and access, role-based access, and visibility.

It's common for colleges and universities to report that over 90% of their students own Internet-connected devices. In fact, according to the 2013 Educause Center for Analysis and Research 2013 Student and Technology study, 58% of undergraduates own three or more Internet-capable devices. Simply put, all of this connectivity demand pushes the mobility envelope to the point that other enterprises and industries can learn from higher education's mobility experiences. Since 2007, Abilene Christian University has sought to leverage the tide of mobile Internet-capable devices as learning tools through an award winning mobile learning initiative. A critical component to their success has been the deployment and management of a robust wireless network infrastructure. Join us to find out how they've made it happen.

Mobility is the change agent for business transformation, enabling people to engage at the edge, boosting productivity and customer satisfaction, in part by reducing the delays that characterize many enterprise processes. For example, field organizations can provide a richer, more personal customer experience, right there, right then ¬ immediately obtaining product information, pricing, and even quote approvals. Join Good Technology to hear customer examples on how secure mobile workflows are transforming the new digital enterprise.

Organizations today are flooded with a variety of mobile devices including laptops, iPads, Android tablets, and smartphones.

Pressure is mounting on many organizations to deliver secure mobile applications for customers, employees and other stakeholders in the customer value chain.
