Syclo Conversation about Trends

Syclo's Joe Granda

I caught up with Syclo's EVP of Global Marketing, Joe Granda today.  There are a lot of things happening at Syclo this year.  They are busy building support for Sybase's Unwired Platform (learn more here) and adding Android support for all of their mobile solutions.  They also just finished their largest user conference of all time where they offered over 44 different educational sessions.  Next on their schedule is SAP's TechEd where they will have a booth.

I asked Joe about trends he is seeing these days in the enterprise mobility space.  He named three:

1. The increasing demand for tablets in the field services industry.
2. Android is now the number one shipping smartphone.
3. Increasing desire for customers to want mobile B2C (business to consumer) apps.

These trends have emerged just over the past few months.
