The site www.MobileEnterpriseStrategies.com has grown considerably since it was first started in 2006, and now contains over 1,400 articles.  Many if not most people don't have the time to browse this site in detail, so I wanted to quickly share some of the resources available for your quick reference.

  • Read interviews or listen to podcast interviews with 90+ mobile experts here.
  • Watch over 100+ video interviews with enterprise mobility experts here.
  • Read and browse market numbers, trends, charts and analyst projections here in the archives of Mobility News Weekly.
  • Read Field Mobility News archives here.
  • Read Mobility Marketing News Weekly archives here.
  • Read Mobile Commerce News Weekly archives here.
  • Read our newest weekly newsletter, Mobile Medical News Weekly archive here.
On the right sidebar of www.MobileEnterpriseStrategies.com is a table of contents.  The table of contents is organized by year, month and day.  So you can even go back as far as 2006 and learn what was happening then in enterprise mobility.

You can subscribe to this blog site and receive all newsletters and articles directly through email or an RSS Reader by "Subscribing" which is available on the left sidebar.

You can search for particular subjects in all 1,400+ articles by using the search function on the right sidebar.

I first developed this site to share experiences implementing enterprise mobility solutions and delivering projects.  Later, I added my research findings, analysis and opinions.  Over time, I became a full time mobility analyst and now publish daily newsletters, interviews, videos, podcasts, surveys and analyst reports all on the subject of enterprise mobility.

I now travel regularly around the globe to speak at conferences and to present workshops on enterprise mobility, my research and mobile strategies.  If you are interested in the details of any of my enterprise mobility workshops or consulting services please contact me here.

Enjoy!  Thank you for being a reader!  Happy Holidays!!!

Insider's Insight into NFC - Near Field Communications


Over the past few years, we have seen significant changes across all the major smartphone platforms led by companies such as Apple, Google, BlackBerry and Microsoft.  Each vendor is trying to add unique values in order to differentiate themselves from the crowd.  This competition is helping smartphones evolve as a platform for software applications rather than just being a messaging platform.  Given these developments, technologies such as Near Field Communications (NFC) are getting renewed attention.

NFC has the potential to impact the way we shop, travel and transfer data. It can make our lives easier and transactions more convenient. It can make accessing new media and content services more instinctive; it can make it easier to pay for things; easier to discover, synchronize and share information; and easier to use public transportation and other public services.  NFC is creating new opportunities for MNOs (mobile network operators), device manufacturers, service provider, enterprises and consumers.

Endeavour and BlackBerry are presenting a webinar on “Insider’s Insight into NFC” where they will discuss NFC device and application capabilities.  This webinar will be presented on December 8th, 2011, at 10:30 AM CDT.  Register here!

Webinar Outline:
  • Introduction to Near Field Communication
  • NFC Ecosystem with focus on NFC Enabled Smartphone Devices
  • NFC Use Cases
  • Guidelines & Considerations
  • Future of NFC

Participants and Highlights:
  • NFC Application Demo
  • Tom Parish - Mobile Strategy Thought Leader
  • Pradeep Rao - Alliances Solutions Manager at Research In Motion
  • Dwarak LN – Sr. Consultant – Technology Consulting Group, Endeavour
  • Basavraj Birajdar – Technical Architect, Endeavour
