Enterprise IT itself is increasingly defined by mobility: consider the broad range of venues in which enterprise staff work, from the office to the home, the car, coffee shop, airport, bus stop, park bench — everywhere. And consider what's at stake: competitiveness, customer relationships, responsiveness, collaboration and teamwork, and, of course, the bottom line. It's not just about servers, service providers, handsets, and apps — it's about success in an economically-difficult environment that at once presents major challenges and extraordinary opportunities. So if mobile strategies and technologies are at the top of your IT list for 2011 (and they should be), you've come to the right place: the Wireless and Mobility Track at Interop Spring 2011. Our key areas of focus this year: the rapidly-expanding role of wireless LANs in the enterprise, optimal mobile IT strategies and architectures, and especially the increasingly-diverse world of mobile devices, including handsets and tablets. Come meet with the leading experts and suppliers in mobility today — the Wireless and Mobility Track at Interop Spring 2011 is a unique opportunity to gain the information and tools required to define your optimal mobile strategy and to maximize your return on an investment in wireless and mobile solutions.
