2:30 pm: Panasonic: Rugged Tablets: Exploring the New Wave of How the Mobile Workforce Performs its Job
Having been in a niche status for years, the tablet category broke out with the announcement of the Apple iPad on January 27, 2010. Since then, the market has seen a flood of new slates introduced to meet the needs of consumers. Now, with the emerging wave of consumerization of IT, these same devices are making their ways inside (and outside) of corporate firewalls, causing a number of headaches for IT professionals, such as security concerns and remote device management issues.

THURSDAY, JUNE 7

11:00 am: Panasonic: Connected Devices in the B2B World
No. 1 priority for business leaders is innovations, which is innovation, which is driven by technology. This means that technology is now everyone's busness. CIO isn't the only audience - CMOs, CFOs and Middle Managers are all becoming key technology specifiers and buyers. Technology has moved beyond something that can just deliver efficiencies through automation. Today's business leaders are looking for technology to deliver on two key fronts.

  • 1. Improve customer experience
  • 2. Deliver business intelligence

Join Panasonic's Vicky Obenshain, VP of wireless strategy, to learn how Panasonic is transforming its own busines to delivery business solutions to its customers and partners, by connecting the wide range of Panasonic products that were previously sold as stand-alone products.
