2015 Enterprise Mobility Events Announced

I will be attending these!!!

nGage Events Announces 2015 Event Dates For Award Winning M6 Mobility xChange, M-Enterprise Boston and M-Enterprise Canada. 

Scarborough, ME November 10, 2015 -- nGage Events announced it has added two mobility summits to its mobile events portfolio. The award winning M6 Mobility xChange is scheduled for May 17-19, 2015 at the Park Hyatt Aviara in Carlsbad, CA and the second year M-Enterprise Summit Boston will be held October 19-21, 2015 at the Seaport Hotel in Boston, MA. New to the portfolio is M-Enterprise Canada which will take place October 27-29, 2015 in Toronto, Canada.

nGage Events believes strongly that the future of B2B mobile events is focused, appointment-based, hosted summits. Our mobility summits bring together C-Suite, Vice Presidents, Directors of Mobile Strategy, IT, Field Workforce, Architecture and Operations professionals from major organizations to learn how to use mobile technology to increase productivity, profitability, and improve customer service and experience. Sponsors are able to engage directly with these decision-makers looking for mobile solutions. The goal is to make the event an absolute "win-win" for both the attendee and the sponsor.

"M-Enterprise brought real world experiences and best practices to an audience that was looking to get to the next level with their mobile investment. It provided an incredibly valuable opportunity to learn not just what it takes to drive mobile adoption in the enterprise, but also what it takes to create business processes and experiences that can change the game for your business."- Michael Gilfix, Director, IBM, Enterprise Mobile Product Management

"In 2011 we launched Mobility xChange as the platform for our enterprise summits. We started with one vertically aligned summit in the Enterprise Mobility space, and due to the success of that event we have expanded in 2015 to three venues with future growth plans.  Mobility has become instrumental in increasing the efficiency of customer interaction regardless of industry and we have seen enterprises develop new business models, moving away from legacy approaches in IT.  We continue to see our events as an effective platform for end users and solution providers to meet, create deal flow and discover further how mobility can be the ultimate business driver for their organizations.", commented Paul Samargedlis, Senior Vice President at nGage Events.

In its fifth year, the M6 Mobility xChange is the longest running hosted enterprise mobility summit focused exclusively on bringing an executive audience together to discuss strategy, policy, and solutions to advance their business objectives. M6 has become the must attend platform in driving mobile investments and propelling growth of the global enterprise mobility market. M6 invites 125-150 select attendees and focuses on six key vertical segments: Banking, Finance Services, & Insurance; Retail & Point of Sale; Healthcare; Manufacturing & Automotive; Energy & Utility; and a Cross Vertical Segment.

"A lot of other events that I attend are more vendor fair organized and what's different and nice about M6 is you get a 1:1 connection with a number of people in the industry as well as end users in the industry, and that's the benefit to M6 compared to other tradeshows."- Adam Stein, Vice President, Mobile Solution & Product Marketing, SAP

Unlike M6, M-Enterprise Boston and M-Enterprise Canada take a horizontal approach to mobility, bringing in the same senior level of qualified decision-maker attendees and leading suppliers. The continued success of M6 along with requests from sponsors to provide this effective business forum more than once a year, has pushed nGage Events to expand to three separate events. The overall portfolio enables sponsors to connect with over 275 qualified attendees throughout 2015.

"At our 2014 mobile events, business leaders discussed the challenges and shared their wisdom on opportunities they experienced in going mobile. In 2015, we're going to explore building the strategy and technical implication requirements for building apps that matter. We'll also look at how companies are using IoT, wearables, big data and new analytics tools to reinvent business and drive competitive advantage.", commented Conference Chair Maribel Lopez, Founder, Lopez Research LLC.

"The M-Enterprise Summit was a very rewarding experience and I was able to make numerous connections with people across multiple verticals. The mobility landscape is consistently changing and for us to stay ahead of the curve we need to bounce ideas off of each other and think outside the box. It was a very well executed event and I look forward to coming back next year!"- George McQuillister, Principal IT Architect, Mobile Operations Support, Pacific Gas & Electric Company

Enterprise mobility is complex and continues to challenge organizations as they try to keep up with rapid advancements.  Developing a strategy and making the right decisions is a major challenge for IT executives. Our events are not exhibitions or traditional conferences, but focused world-class networking and business information exchanges designed to help IT executives overcome challenges.

Big Data Business Models and Code Halo Strategies with SmartStory's CEO Michael Boerner

While many companies talk about someday implementing strategies that will provide competitive advantages and change the world, SmartStory Technologies is delivering.  They combine the use of big data, POS (point of sale) systems, Code Halos strategies, mobile apps and hyper-personalization to deliver customized short-form videos to mobile devices that are specific to the user's needs, at the right time and on the right device.  This technology will change retail.  Especially when complex products and services are involved.

Digital transformation is about recognizing the impact of innovation in your industry, market and business.  It is about understanding how new technologies will transform your business plans and budget priorities.  It is about being bold enough to act and change direction mid-year, or budget cycle.

In this interview with SmartStory's CEO Michael Boerner, we dig deep into how digital transformations are already changing the way retailers interact and support their customers in completely new and innovative ways that will change the competitive landscape forever.

If you sell complex products and services - I strongly suggest you study this video segment and discuss what you are seeing with your strategy team.  Your industry and market will be impacted. Stay tuned for parts 2 and 3 in this series.

What Portuguese Aqueducts, Google and High Speed Internet have in Common

View from my Apartment in Lisbon
I love Airbnb.  Look at this view from the apartment I booked in Lisbon!  Not only was it far cheaper than the business class hotels in Lisbon, it was in a location and with a view that no hotel could beat. Plus, what hotel would provide you with a historic, clanging elevator that rumbled all night next to your bed?

While I stood out on the terrace appreciating the view, I thought to research the aqueduct below my apartment.  What I learned is that the aqueduct has things in common with Google, mobile applications, Texas A&M and Kansas City, MO.  Here is what I learned:

How Portugal's Age of Discovery is Related to Enterprise Mobility

Lisbon, Portugal
This week I had the good fortune of spending time in Lisbon, Portugal.  I met with several hundred business men and women at a mobility event in Microsoft's auditorium in Lisbon, at banks and with mobile network operators where we discussed digital transformation, enterprise mobility, IoT and mobile strategies.  In preparation for these discussions I did some homework.  Here is what I learned about Portuguese history and how it relates to digital transformation and enterprise mobility.

The Portuguese developed innovative sailing technologies and navigational skills in the 15th-century that enabled ocean-going ventures, where before most ships stayed within sight of land or took very short excursions. Portugal's Vasco da Gama (among others), using these innovations and skills, sailed south and east and ultimately reached India in 1498.

As a result of reaching India and exploring trading opportunities, the Portuguese were able to corner the profitable trade in eastern spices by displacing their competitor, Venice, who had a long established monopoly on a land-route for bringing spices to Europe.  Portugal transformed and optimized supply chains and logistics which gave them a giant competitive advantage!!!  They opened new markets and trading routes, globalized and took advantage of economies of scale.  For over 100 years the Portuguese had no European rivals on these long sea routes round Africa.

What were these innovations that enabled Portugal to develop such a competitive advantage?
  1. They thought bigger and more strategic
  2. They explored new technologies and invested in the winners
  3. They recognized the value of innovation
  4. They recognized the value of opening new markets
  5. They recognized the value of globalization
  6. They recognized the value of optimizing existing business processes, logistics, supply chains, etc.
  7. They recognized strategic global economic opportunities
  8. They understood the value of navigation technologies and how they could optimize routes and logistics
  9. They developed a navigation school to scale these skills in order to better compete globally
  10. They invested in advanced naval architectures to enhance ocean-going capabilities
  11. They invested in the knowledge of astronomy to enhance navigation skills

The Portuguese were able to establish sea routes round the Cape of Africa, which enabled Portugal to undercut the Venetian trade with its multiple layers of middlemen, slow and risky deliveries, and costly and inefficient transportation.  Seemingly overnight Portugal had a competitive advantage gained by being able to sail large ships, across oceans, carrying huge loads, great distances, efficiently.  These capabilities transformed markets, globalized, opened new sales channels and displaced competitors.  These transformations sealed the fates of two nations.

Technology has been shaking things up for millenniums!  Today mobile technologies are transforming markets in much the same way.  Here are some comparisons for your consideration:
  • The ability to use turn-by-turn navigation transformed the GPS device market and helped optimize routes and workforce utilization.
  • Mobile devices and apps transformed field service work. 
  • Smartphones with powerful cameras killed Kodak and most stand alone digital cameras.
  • Mobile apps for banks are quickly reducing the need for branches.
  • Mobile apps and mobile browsing killed Blackberry
  • Mobile apps for insurance claims are reducing the need for claims adjusters and optimizing claims processing.
  • Web and mobile technologies are changing the way education is provided.
  • Mobile apps for research and shopping are impacting retail stores.
  • The ability to read books and watch movies and to listen to music on mobile devices eliminated the need for video stores, record stores and bookstores.
  • Mobile and IoT technologies are in the midst of transforming healthcare 
What lessons can we learn from the Venetians who lost their businesses to Portuguese innovation? No matter how secure your position in the market seems to be, competitors are innovating and looking for opportunities to jump ahead of you.  Your company should be that innovator!
