Slides from Webinar with Ryan Faas:
Enterprise mobility has transitioned from email alone to file access, collaboration, content creation, and in-house apps from mobile devices. Adoption of smart devices is accelerating this transition and enterprise users are continuously pushing the limits of anywhere and any device productivity.
Ryan talked about:
* Examples of adoption of mobility in enterprise (healthcare, government, education, automotive, etc.)
* Which mobile security solutions are being used to support the workforce and/or regulations?
* Trends about how and why users choose their mobile apps and workflows
