Last month, Magenic hosted The Enterprise Mobile Summit (EntMo) at the City Club of Buckhead in Atlanta. The event, on March 14, featured a panel of executive speakers from Coca-Cola, UPS, Thomson Reuters, Microsoft, and Aaron’s. Speakers, attendees, and the hosts all agreed that the event was very successful.

As we gear up for another Enterprise Mobile Summit (EntMo) in Atlanta in March 2013, we caught up with EntMo 2012 presenter Andrew Eklund. Andrew is Founder and CEO of Ciceron, a marketing agency in Minneapolis. In the video below he discusses mobility for the enterprise with EntMo’s Linda Cummings. He includes what’s changed in just a few short months, what we can look forward to in mobile, and who’s doing it right.

In this second in a series of three videos, Magenic’s John Himebook talks about working directly with Microsoft to develop applications in the Business Transformation category.

In a recent interview, John Himebook mentioned developing a Windows 8 application for Smartvue, a surveillance company. John mentioned it as an example of what Windows 8 can bring to a consumer facing application.

In light of the big news late last week about the Samsung-Apple patent verdict, I caught up with Magenic’s Technical Sales Executive for Mobile, Lou Miranda, to get his take. We played a little hooky and went outside in the sunshine to work on our Minnesota tans and have a quick talk about the verdict’s impact on the enterprise.

Think back a month or so to Apple’s World Wide Developers’ Conference (WWDC 2012). What do you recall? The pomp and panache of Apple’s new Maps app, with 3D maps, Flyover, and turn-by-turn directions? Or, perhaps it’s the new sports, movies, and dining additions to Siri.

It seems like just yesterday that Windows “Metro” was everywhere. Wait. It actually was just yesterday.

A recent headline noted that Apple’s iOS had surpassed Android as the mobile platform of choice for the enterprise.

The Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) 2012 has come and gone, and with it came a number of major events that will affect your enterprise.

I’ll cover iOS 6 in a later post, so let’s take a look at hardware and OS X.
