Enterprise mobility solutions are engulfing the technology world. There is not any difference between what can take place over a desktop and what can be done over a mobile phone. The lines of discrimination have long been blurred, and people are loving to be able to do things on-the-go with their mobile devices.
According to Craig J. Mathias, an internationally acclaimed expert on wireless, unified communications and mobile computing technologies, and a key speaker at various global conferences, Mobility solutions can largely be divided into three main parts-
- Duplication of the Desktop- Access to the same applications via a wireless screen and access to the data via a synchronization feature is a trend to be hailed today. Experts and professionals are ditching their desktops altogether and switching to wireless mobile platforms. The accessibility of information and applications on mobile devices have hugely increased their popularity.
- Access to the Desktop- Be it VPNs or PC-oriented, remote-access solutions, providing an access to the desktop from anywhere is another major part of mobility solutions. Some of these solutions include- GoToMyPC, LapLink, Everywhere, Route1, etc.
- Replacing the Desktop and the Notebook- Smartphones are now treated as miniature PCs, just for the size, not for the functioning. All of the power and functions of a PC are being crunched and put into a handheld mobile device. And, this is where things have gotten interesting.
Advancements in any field are made through extensive research and innovations. These two are mainly carried out through collaborations at International conferences. Here are some major breakthrough conferences this year which carry the potential to shape and alter the shape of the current mobility industry.
- Google I/O – Google’s annual developer conference has been around since 2008 which is a recent date, but Android’s massive popularity and Google’s stature have made it a must-attend event for mobility solution enthusiasts.
