Managing mobile worker costs via FT podcast
Monday, March 7th, 2011 Karen Ambrose Hickey, Editor
Stephen Pritchard, producer for the FT Connected Business podcasts on FT.com, just published “How can enterprises manage the costs of mobile working?” We have included the portion of that podcast which features an interview with Evan Kaplan, CEO of iPass. You can also find the link to the podcast in it’s entirety.
In the week that Apple is set to launch its next iPad, we hear how businesses are replacing both laptops and smartphones with tablets, and how enterprises can manage the costs of mobile working.
Listen to the podcast: Excerpt: Evan Kaplan with FT on enterprises managing the costs and preferences of the mobile worker. (6:11)
Mr. Pritchard also wrote an article for IT Pro that includes the Q&A from the podcast.
One quote:
It [a tablet] is a much better reader than my smartphone and I don’t have to open my laptop. But I move pretty seamlessly between all three devices. Increasingly, for the enterprise, you are looking to provision applications that work seamlessly across all three platforms.
For the entire podcast, including internet access for people in developing countries and information security, please go to the FT Podcasts.
