Enterprise
Mobility: Mobile Application Development Seminar took place at the Union League Club. From my view, it was a great
turn out. Incredible presentations, that provided technology executives with
suggestions and tips on taking their company mobile. The presentations had a
general theme, past, present, and future. What follows is a highlight of what I
found interesting.
John Gavilin VP and CTO of Bridgepoint Technologies covered the
adoption of mobile technologies. “Apps are here to stay,” he said, and sees the
future market holding either a hybrid device and/ or tablet. His first
suggestion was to build a mobile strategy, one step was to choose the app
development road map keeping in mind that enterprise users expectations are now
high. Complicated interfaces are no longer accepted. Users are now expecting
the full package, design and features needs to be highly considered when
developing the road map.
Doug Wilson Co-founder of Breakthrough
Technologies captured the audience by bringing us back to history. “The
dawn of an enlighten period –a period of unprecedented change. “ He compared
that age to today where we are forced to change the way we do things. I
couldn’t agree more, there is a
“penetration of software into all aspects of our personal and business
lives.” Mr. Wilson believed that “Frameworks are important” and choosing to
either develop multiplatform or native apps can help in planning your strategy.
He also suggested to make a strategy to get from point a to b, it doesn’t
matter if you are right or wrong, just don’t be left behind!
J Schwan founder of Solstice Mobile took the audience
through a mobile time capsule, highlighting the past, when mobile technology
first arrived, and fast-forwarding to a couple years from now. The previous
presentations mentioned to go mobile first, and desktop second, and Mr. Schwan
didn’t fail at mentioning it too! Third times a charm, its engrained in my
brain: mobile first, desktop second everyone. Bringing it full circle to why
going mobile is important is the blatant fact, everyone is already doing it.
Using our smart phones for transactions is becoming just as natural as swiping
our cards. From standing in line at Starbucks to purchasing groceries in South
Korea by using a QR code in the subway station. The most memorable part of the
presentation and which really had me left with a dumfounded awe expression was the Google Glasses ad video.
Watching the sunset with your significant other has taken new lengths. Wait for
it . Awe.
Kudos to Technology Executives Club for keeping this event
informative! "Apps and mobile devices are not going anywhere," was the prediction
of the day, and the technology executives could now leave this seminar with a
bases of how to start their a to b plan.
