Developing a Progressive Mobile Strategy

A common refrain from both management and clients alike today is, "We need an app..." Unfortunately, over the long-term, mobile solutions for you or your clients’ organizations will need to be more diversified than a single app. From optimizing current web content to developing unique experiences mobile will touch, and possibly transform, your entire enterprise. Not only will your interactions with your customers be affected by the rapid adoption of smartphones but also your workforce and business processes. Combining lessons learned at a large, land-grant university as well as the latest statistics on mobile we’ll review why you need a cross-audience, cross-content, and cross-platform mobile strategy, what one is all about, and how it’ll help you prioritize your mobile solutions.
