WHAT: "Mobile Application Lifecycle Management"

WHEN: Thursday, January 12, 2012 at 3:00 - 3:45

WHERE: APPNATION Enterprise Summit, The Bentley Reserve, San Francisco

One of the core challenges for enterprise organizations and their teams tasked with managing mobility rollouts is overcoming device diversity and optimizing what employees can do with their smart devices beyond its native functions. Should they develop business apps for iOS, Android or both? How do they support hundreds of BlackBerry models? Once app development is complete, how will they ensure that the end-user experience is at its best? Once the app is deployed, how will they monitor them to ensure quality, security, and superior performance to help minimize downtime and maximize ROI? These are only a few concerns that persist as IT managers try to manage not just one part of the complex mobile app development process, but the complete app lifecycle.

The panel will provide expert insight as to what needs to be considered in each phase of mobile development process - from planning all the way to execution and analysis. The audience will have a clear understanding about how to successfully extend their businesses and brands to the mobile channel and leave with strategies and techniques for overcoming potential challenges that enterprises may face in order to successfully launch and maintain their mobile initiative.
