If we may be so bold, mobility is now at the center of all successful IT strategies. Why? Because the last good key competitive differentiator is information – getting it into the hands of those who need it, reliably, cost-effectively, and securely – and enabling those users to take appropriate action easily, conveniently, and definitely anytime and anywhere. But, as all IT professionals know, the mobile world can be daunting, with an amazing and still rapidly-evolving array of mobile devices, operating environments, application strategies, wireless technologies and associated management and operational challenges. That is why we’ve designed the Interop New York 2011 Wireless and Mobility Track to cover all of these key subjects, and a lot more, in a fast-paced, interactive program that meets the needs of technical and management staff alike. Looking for a debate of the key issues? An update on the latest technologies? A discussion of the best practices for successful mobile operations? Well, look no further. Wireless and Mobility at Interop New York has everything you need for success in what is, again, the center of your IT strategy.
