This presentation highlights the issues that IDC believes will shape the Asia-Pacific mobile business services market in 2012. The growing trend around the Consumerisation of IT has exasperated some organizations and exhilarated others. Some companies see it as adding massive complexity to an already confused IT environment. Others see it as an excellent way to embrace change and drive engagement, productivity and revenue. Regardless, it is hard to deny that mobility, consumerisation and cloud have combined to create a tumultuous and exciting mobile services environment for vendors, partners and enterprise organizations. This presentation addresses the mobility issues beyond email and internet access - security, applications, near field communications and mobile analytics.

Information risk and security has always been to some extent a balancing act. On the one hand, you can view the risk and control functions that we’re trying to manage as increasing cost, and constraining the use of data and systems. And so therefore, you might have some view within the company or some users that this should just be completely opened.

This session will cover how Intel IT division addressed a balancing act to address risk and security and will discuss how we plan to create and extend computing technology by helping to make devices, the cloud, the data and the people secure.

Through the mobile device the consumerisation of IT is driving a new security vulnerability deep into the heart of the enterprise. The rapid developments in the mobile sector place a significant strain on an organisation´s ability to maintain high security levels and in many cases companies are falling behind in the race to create a secure environment. This presentation will illustrate why we are finally in the year of mobile security, the options available for organisations and the future roadmap for a truly secure mobile enterprise.

This session addresses the market for Mobile BI (Business Intelligence) and QlikView’s unique approach to delivering insight on the go.

There is a fundamental difference between providing predefined reports with limited data on mobile devices, and enabling true Business Discovery for mobile workers. The key distinction highlights the value Mobile Business Discovery can offer when leveraged as an integral component to decision making will be presented. We will describe the unique capabilities that QlikView provides to enable Business Discovery on Mobile devices.

It´s a potentially dangerous time in the Enterprise Mobility environment. Organizations are increasingly beset by employees bringing their own devices into the workplace. At the same time, the corporate network environment is changing as companies deploying smartphones and tablets for employees. As this consumerisation of IT gathers pace, it creates a multi-OS, multi-device environment with potentially far higher risks for companies. How can organizations plan for a dynamic mobile work environment to improve productivity, yet still maintain enterprise-grade management of their data, applications and devices?

This RIM and IDC dinner roundtable will discuss how organizations can create greater productivity and employee satisfaction whilst retaining oversite of governance, risk and compliance in a mobile world.
