Presented by:
Michael Facemire,
Senior Analyst,

Overview: Mobile software is no longer a nice feature—it now drives every key area of business. Getting these critical apps into employees' hands is now an urgent problem, but how long will it really take, and how much will it cost?
Too many organizations dive into mobile development projects with no defined answer to one or both of these questions, driving a wedge between IT and the business. Join Alpha Software and Forrester's Michael Facemire on a discussion around the challenges in mobile development and how these questions can be answered to delight of the business and IT.
Joining Michael to present on their personal experiences related to development time and costs—as well as hosting costs—using Alpha Anywhere will be Alpha developers, consultants, and partners Robin Bennett—Director at Start Software, Tom Ritter—CIO at Newark Group, Clive Swanepoel—CEO at ZebraHost, and Tom Simon—President at Web App Express.
