description
Discussions on “Mobile” are everywhere right now, from the street to the boardroom, and it provides a two-sided challenge for forward-thinking businesses. On one side, how can the organisation open up new ways of generating engagement and revenue from its customer base? On the other, how can it open up new ways of working for its employees that increase their productivity and improve retention of the best and brightest? Both of these potentially positive changes must be held up against increasing expectations of the protection of both customer and employee information and identity. Derek O’Carroll from Symantec will host this workshop by first presenting a viewpoint and leading a discussion into how this is being addressed today and possible forward-looking strategies.
