New devices, access networks, applications and delivery models are coming together to create a perfect storm for true and all–embracing enterprise mobility. Tablets, iPads and large–screen smartphones can now run almost fully functional versions of all enterprise software and services and rely on 3.5 and 4G networks to access the clouds delivering everything in virtualized environments.

This is creating a whole new setting for enterprise IT – one where all enterprise applications can now be made available to all employees beyond the company premises thus empowering them greatly beyond what we have seen before. The concept of ´Mobile Everything´ is drastically changing how companies should approach their IT systems, their software, the services they consume and the security systems and policies they deploy.

In this presentation, IDC will examine the impact of ´Mobile Everything´ on enterprise IT.

Mobile service providers are often seen as providers of connectivity and voice only. But today´s carriers have moved far beyond these ´basic´ services and have emerged as true end-to-end service providers.

This presentation will showcase how the mobile service provider can now offer enterprise services that extend the concept of mobility far beyond voice and email.

While the thought of ´Mobile Everything´ is extremely alluring to the enterprise, most companies know only too well how costly ´basic´ mobility can be. The answer to managing increased mobility can be to call in the experts – service providers that can manage the pricing and usage of mobile applications. This presentation will showcase how managed mobility services can help companies embark on ´Mobile Everything´ without spending everything.

Mobile device have been used to extend and mobilize the enterprise for a long time. But with the advent of cloud computing and new, powerful devices like tablets and smartphones, mobile devices have now become true extensions of all systems and functions within the enterprise. This presentation will discuss the new possibilities of mobile devices.

While devices are a necessity for true mobility, they wouldn´t be the powerful platform they are today were it not for the powerful mobile operating systems, the APIs and the application delivery platforms in place today.

This presentation will showcase how all of these tie together to build a powerful platform for the mobile enterprise today - and how choosing the right platform can make or break the next step for the mobile enterprise.

Mobile applications have hit the mainstream with the iPhone, Nokia´s Ovi and the Google Android platform. But mobile applications go well beyond the consumer space and are becoming increasingly relevant for businesses as smartphones and tables may evolve into the preferred access platforms for mobile workers. With mobile apps, these devices become more than just consumers of data but are also evolving into programming and development platforms within the enterprise. This presentation will provide insights into how mobile apps are changing the face of business IT.

CRM is at the heart of any company IT infrastructure. In recent years CRM solutions have begun embracing social media and the web as well as basic mobile extension. But now the ecosystem is in place for taking CRM to the next level and truly mobilize customer relations.

This presentation will explore how mobile applications are expanding the usability and value of CRM.

Managing internal and external resources is a huge task. Today´s ERP systems have been immensely valuable to this purpose, but like all data reliant solutions, ERP can only really help the enterprise if the data available is correct and timely. The arrival of new larger and intuitive input devices is now set to revolutionize how data can be submitted, consumed and processed by employees on the factory floor and in the field.

This presentation will explore how enterprise resource planning is being revolutionized by new devices and mobile applications.

Virtual desktops have so far been confined to PCs and laptops. But with the advent of tablets and iPads, the boundaries for how far you can extend the virtual enterprise environment have been extended and are fast disappearing altogether.

This presentation will show how virtual desktop infrastructure can be expanded to new devices, giving the employee access to virtually any enterprise resource on virtually any device.

Cloud computing has brought on new approaches to software and services. It is also accelerating a change in the fundamental structure of business applications. While the extension of enterprise IT into the mobile space can be done on the basis of on–premises enterprise software, cloud services may prove the best way of achieving the flexibility, scalability and ubiquitous service availability that ´Mobile Everything´ requires.

This presentation will explore how cloud infrastructure, cloud platforms and cloud applications can take ´Mobile Everything´ to the next level.

As enterprise applications become mobile, the boundaries of the enterprise become extended and blurred. And with the constant evolution in devices and applications that tap into the core enterprise systems, all systems become increasingly vulnerable to the acts of negligent users and malicious attacks. So companies will need to pair ´pervasive mobility´ with ´ubiquitous security´.

This presentation will examine the security implications of a fully mobile IT environment and discuss how applications, users, devices and identities can be managed in a secure way.
