Mobile Startups: Tip of the Iceberg, Say Venture Capitalists

At this week's DEMO Fall 2011, mobile startups trying to bridge the physical and digital worlds often didn't aim high enough and received mixed reviews from venture capitalists and former entrepreneurs.

 
As more and more CIOs are beginning to see significant benefits from letting employees choose the device they use to get their jobs done, the Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) trend is spreading. According to the Computerworld Consumerization of IT Study, about half of the 604 respondents said their organizations allow employees to do work using their own devices either away from the office or at work. Whether these devices are smart phones, tablets, or laptops that are used in the office or while working remotely, companies that embrace this trend are finding their employees are more productive and experience greater job satisfaction. What's more, enterprises can significantly reduce up front costs and allow for flexible work hours by letting employees use their device of choice anytime, from anywhere.
In this paper, we analyze the delivery of live and on-demand mobile video content. It focuses on specific ways in which organizations can follow best practices to ensure the experience of video communication is maximized for viewers, while keeping corporate networks running smoothly.
There's no denying that the wisdom of a company resides in the heads of those directly responsible for the non-routine work of the organization. There's also no denying that management teams are looking to find better employee communications solutions and reduce costs. This is coupled with increased demand to better manage projects, customer service, product launches, training, and sales by workforces that are separated by time zones and using mobile devices. This need for wide-scale communications at lower cost is fueling recent organizational demand for scalable, affordable enterprise video and employee generated video content or "EGC"
The wave of video in the enterprise will continue to rise as the communication medium and the enabling technologies become ubiquitous in our daily personal and business lives. Businesses must be fully aware of the challenges and requirements of deploying an enterprise video solution. With a proper approach, adequate preparation, and skilled analysis, your organization will be able to accurately build an effective, scalable YouTube for the Enterprise framework that leverages your existing IT infrastructure and is aligned with your business goals.
This whitepaper aims to identify those users, the reasons they exist and to outline what your organization can do about them.
A mid-sized business needs the same financial performance control and measurement capabilities as a large corporation, but in a solution that's affordable, easy to implement and scalable. This guide simplifies the search by helping CFOs understand the 10 must-have characteristics of today's best financial performance management solutions.
