Social Media Integration Operator Port of Call
Social media disrupts the long-standing rules of business in many ways, but crafting a social media policy is premature unless the designers of the policy answer seven critical questions first, according to Gartner, Inc. "Social media offers tempting opportunities to interact with employees, business partners, customers, prospects and a whole host of anonymous participants on the social Web," said Carol Rozwell, vice president and distinguished analyst at Gartner. "However, those who participate in social media need guidance from their employer about the rules,

responsibilities, 'norms' and behaviors expected of them, and these topics are commonly covered in the social media policy."
MOBILE EXPLOSION
According to Kate Maddox, B2B, Jan. 16, 2012, “With 36% of U.S. adults now owning smartphones and 5% owning tablet computers, according to Nielsen, the mobile market is set to explode? eMarketer projects that 10.8% of the U.S. population (all ages) now use a tablet computer at least once a month, and tablet penetration is projected to reach 27.7% of the U.S. population by 2014.
Marketers are moving away from a media environment in which they consider traditional, online and other forms of media to a paid/owned/earned model. (Paid is for purchased media; owned is for original content; and earned is for social media.) “There is much more focus on a holistic approach across content and the marketing investment for clients. Paid/owned/earned is becoming the standard model,” said Lou Aversano, who was named COO of Ogilvy New York in June, after serving as global managing director of Ogilvy & Mather. Part of Aversano's new role is looking at how the agency can deliver the best services to meet client needs in this new P/O/E environment. Clients, too, are developing new models to distribute content across paid/owned/earned media. “Our editorial strategy is to become like a publisher, build an editorial plan and deliver messages through all our channels,” said Scott Anderson, VP-customer communications at HP Enterprise Business. Hewlett-Packard Co. has hired editors and created an editorial board made up of executives from the company's different business units to help deliver content that communicates with customers.

users to access apps and mobile sites via their preferred smartphone, tablet or operating system.
It's called Responsive Design, and it's intended to connect with the public in many new ways. The design also presents content based on the device, providing device-specific apps for BlackBerries, Android, iPhone and iPad users. And it's a road map for other agencies embracing mobile apps. Gartner, Inc. has identified what it believes will be the most important mobile applications in 2012. Focusing on high-end devices with an average selling price of more than $300, analysts have identified the top 10 cutting-edge technologies and trends for 2012. Winning mobile apps will have unique features that cater to the mobile environment rather than act as a mobile extension of their online peers. “Mobile applications will be a highly competitive marketplace that attracts the interest of many stakeholders,” said Sandy Shen, research director at Gartner. “Increasingly, mobile applications will define the user experience on high-end devices and device vendors that proactively integrate innovative apps and technologies at the platform layer will have the competitive edge.” Mobile apps themselves will not only generate good revenue ($15.9 billion in expected end-user spending in 2012) but will also drive hardware sales, advertising spending and technology innovation. Gartner expects brand companies to increasingly shift their marketing budget to the mobile channel, and experiment with cutting-edge apps to capture marketing and sales opportunities. Companies, as well as technology and service providers, that stay abreast of the latest developments, could make their products stand out from the pack, enhance brand image and retain user loyalty. Unclaimed property comes in many forms including unclaimed wages, savings and checking accounts, stock dividends, insurance proceeds, and safe deposit box contents.

Workforce Benefit Plan Operators Port of Call
According to People Cube in their January 6th 2011 Article: The Benefits of Telecommuting & Employing a Mobile Workforce “Organizations that encourage telecommuting or employ a mobile workforce can provide great benefits to both their employees and the organization. I’m sure these benefits have been outlined numerous times, but with the Telework Enhancement Act requiring organizations inside the federal government to form plans that promote telecommuting for federal employees other organizations may want to start taking notice.” So you may want to know, why is the U.S. Government doing this, and why should your organization implement a telecommuting program? Here are the answers. Telecommuting Benefits
Implementing a telecommuting program can reduce your organization’s real estate costs
Employing the mobile workforce can reduce your organization’s carbon footprint telecommuting will reduce your organization’s energy consumption
Telecommuting will allow your organization to employ more top talent from a wider geographical area
With a properly managed mobile workforce there is a greater opportunity for greater collaboration between employees despite their geographical location employees that telecommute have a greater work life balance, creating happier more productive employees

Mobile Storage Operators and Solution Providers
This pavilion will provide mobile storage operators to connect with customer, buyers and prospects, decision makers looking for solutions to help them increased economic value that Cloud Computing level for their Mobile Enterprises.
Cloudonomics: The Economics of Cloud Computing By Rackspace Hosting There are many reasons for organizations to move from traditional IT infrastructure to Cloud Computing. One of the most cited benefits is the economics of the Cloud. Yet while many people point out the cost savings that Cloud Computing brings to an organization, we believe attention should be drawn to four distinct mechanisms through which these cost savings are generated:
by lowering the opportunity cost of running technology
by allowing for a shift from capital expenditure to operating expenditure
by lowering the total cost of ownership (TCO) of technology
by giving organizations the ability to add business value by renewed focus
on core activities
Mobile Store Operators
This pavilion will provide operators to connect with customer, buyers and prospects of decision makers looking for stores to help them promote, brand, distribute and sell apps.
BARCELONA, Spain / Mobile operators at the GSM Association's Mobile World Congress here this week are happy to offer subscribers access to as many application stores as they can. But they still want some say in the apps offered on their networks, and they want a cut of the action. Instead of creating and distributing mobile applications themselves to their subscribers, mobile operators are increasingly adding access to multiple wireless stores on their devices. In many ways, the switch makes mobile operators look more like owners of a shopping center, while device makers, operating system developers, and other third parties own the shops that sit in these virtual carrier malls. While this new model has spurred a great deal of innovation, it's also fragmented the market. And even though, operators may not be selling these virtual goods to consumers, they still want a portion of the profits. "We want to be a facilitator like a shopping center in providing options for customers," said Hugh Bradlow, CTO at Australian operator Telstra

Key Industry Subject Matter Experts The Emerging Role of Social Employee Apps
By: Force.com
IT departments are struggling to adapt to new economic realities and a rapidly changing technology environment that includes fundamental shifts in mobile, social, and cloud computing technologies. As a result, a new applications layer – the social employee application layer – based on modern social networking websites is being developed. This layer of less-expensive collaborative applications creates agility around core operational systems, allowing a much higher number of business users to access and collaborate around central operations, especially on mobile devices.
