A free, full-day workshop on \u201cMobile Apps and the SAP Mobile Platform\u201d will be held at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Lubar School of Business on Friday, Jan. 24, from 8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m. in Lubar Hall, 3202 N. Maryland Ave. The workshop is hosted by the Lubar School\u2019s Center for Technology Innovation.<\/p>\n
According to the information technology market intelligence company IDC, 87% of all connected device sales will be tablets and smartphones by 2017. While corporations and organizations should be incorporating this growing trend into their mobile strategy and investments, many organizations are not prepared to deal with this rapid change.<\/p>\n
Determining which applications to implement in the evolving mobile environment involves critical decisions. The presenters will provide an overview of mobile development; discuss products used to develop mobile apps, with a focus on the SAP product identified as a \u201cmagic quadrant\u201d leader by technology research leader Gartner; and future directions in this environment.<\/p>\n
The workshop is designed for individuals interested in mobile development (decision makers, planners, designers, developers) and the rapid change it will impose on the IT organization.<\/p>\n
Lubar School of Business faculty members Dave Haseman and Ross Hightower, leading experts on mobile development in the SAP environment, will conduct the workshop. They are co-authors of a leading SAP Press book on the topic and have extensive experience delivering lectures and workshops on mobile development.<\/p>\n
