Mobility Architecture

Where to start
Think solutions not applications
Think big but start small
Think through architecture and strategy then solutions
Think as an end-user not as a technologist
– The UI needs to better than a free application from Apple and finger
friendly
– What information should presented to a user when virtually all information everywhere is potentially
available
Think how to protect the enterprises data without impeding its use
