Mobile Expert Video Series: SAP's Nick Brown

Myself and fellow SAP Mentor John Appleby interview SAP's Nick Brown on SAP's enterprise mobility strategies, timelines and products.  The audio on this video is rather poor, but the content is great, so crank up the volume and put on the headset.  I have even experimented with adding captions.

Mobile Expert Interview Series: AMT-Sybex's Malachy Martin


Malachy Martin
 I was able to schedule a call with AMT-Sybex's mobile strategy manager Malachy Martin this morning for an interview.  Malachy is from Northern Ireland (his mobile application development team is located in Belfast), but he now lives and works in the UK.  He has been in the enterprise mobility space for a decade now.  He started his mobility career working on mobile solutions for utility companies.  He is now head of mobile strategy, and as such he works with customers and key partners like ClickSoftware, SAP/Sybase and Syclo.

Before jumping into the interview I wanted to address a question that was posed to me last week by an individual at SAP.  I was asked why many of my interviews included the same questions.  I explained that if I ask the same question of dozens of enterprise mobility experts, then their aggregated answers will provide us with a comprehensive view and understanding of many key issues in enterprise mobility.

Note:  These are not  Malachy's exact words, rather my notes from our interview.

Kevin: What mobile device(s) do you carry?
Malachy: A BlackBerry for work, Samsung smartphone for personal use and Windows Mobile 6.5 for testing industrial grade handheld computers, a tablet and a Dell laptop.

Kevin: Do you use mobile devices to purchase products and services?
Malachy: Yes, I use my laptop to purchase many things, but not my smartphones.
