Hot apps and cool tools for the wireless enterprise
Streaming the latest “American Idol” performances to your cell phone might be pretty cool, but it’s not going to help your company hit its quarterly numbers. For unwired enterprise users, hot applications and cool tools have to blend the “wow” factor with practicality and payoff. The cutting edge in technology is always fascinating, and you can see it at its best in our recent coverage of the Demo show, hosted by Network World’s Events group. However, for your next-generation infrastructure, the New Data Center, we know that hot applications and cool tools for the unwired mean the ones that combine innovation with a track record of performance.
* LATEST from DEMOletter:
I don’t mean to sound super-critical, but I think a lot of new services have been breathing the Silicon Valley oxygen for too long and need to get out into other parts of the country. How else to explain some new services aimed at getting “friends and family” as their subscriber base? These new companies are relying on tech-savvy individuals to get their friends and family to sign up for either VoIP service or social networking. Good luck.
