Mobility – it is not about what you think!

We sometimes forget about the one critical component in enterprise mobility; the one thing that allows the enterprise to be out there and extend itself beyond its four walls.  Sorry… It is not the technology.  Technology is great but it is only a means to an end. It is more important than technology. More important [...]

Freedom In Mobility

The criticism (more like the complaint) we hear a lot these days has to do with our ‘over-connectedness.’ We are told that people are too connected… That it is interfering with personal lives and affecting our quality of life.

The paragraph in quotes below was my first draft introduction to a report we were writing for a client on the sustainability of a specific business model in mobile.  Of course I can’t say much about it but I am laughing at myself for what I initially thought was going to be the introduction to [...]

Not All Mobile Applications Are Created Equal

And therefore do not require the same metrics.  Of course if you are developer for-fun as opposed to a for-profit one you may note be too concerned about this.  However you will never know where and how to improve something unless you measure it.  If you measure there is a better chance of understanding how [...]

Collection of tiny mobile apps for your iPhone (or my Personalized Enterprise Gateway)

New to me … but probably old to you (remember I don’t use an iPhone in everyday life).  It took me back to some of the projects I have worked on before and the ever present need of providing relevant information to our mobile users/workers.
