AlignIT Manager Tech Talk #9: Your Enterprise on the Go

  • Article

Earlier this year, there was a post on this blog about the change that’s happening within organizations and how employees are bringing technology from home to make themselves more productive at work. IT departments are scrambling to support these devices and keep workers productive, while figuring out how to manage the devices and keep company information that might be accessed or stored on them secure. At the same time, organizations are looking to extend the capabilities of their line of business applications to these different form factors and mobile devices. But can this be done without a major investment of time and resources?

In this Tech Talk we’re joined by one of our teammates, Paul Laberge, a Developer Advisor with Microsoft Canada whose focus is Windows Phone. Our discussion revolves around how you can leverage Windows Phone to extend your line of business applications and enable a more productive mobile workforce.
