Planning for the Mobile Workforce: Developing Your E-Strategy, Gaining Access and Maintaining Security

Jury's Washington Hotel
1500 New Hampshire Avenue, NW
Washington, DC
(Dupont Circle - Red Line)
December 6, 2000

The technologies for supporting enterprise mobile computing environments are here, and we are now seeing successful early government implementations. The convergence of wireless, the Internet and agency networks is transforming the way government functions and communicates internally and with the public.

An effective mobile strategy requires an enterprise approach that considers workforce dynamics, integrating technologies and operating systems, technology life cycles, and managing and controlling security. The decisions that you make and implement today will have far-reaching implications for your organization.

This practical program addresses the steps involved in strategizing and managing a successful mobile implementation. Learn key technology, security and cultural issues to anticipate. Hear from the early government adopters about their goals, successes and lessons learned.
