Developing an Enterprise Wireless/Palm Computing Strategy
“Most companies aren’t yet ready to embrace handheld devices. It’s something they’re being pushed to do by their own employees. It’s like the revolution we had with the PC. They had mainframes, they had thin clients – terminals—out there, and life was good. Then they saw this invasion of PC’s that wasn’t planned, and it took them a number of years to get a handle on it”.

Developing an Enterprise Wireless/Palm Computing Strategy
Our Challenge
• Palm Technology is inexpensive• Palm Technology is still emerging• This technology will quietly enter your
organization from the “Controlled Top” or “Uncontrolled Bottom”, you choose
• No matter which way, where will employees go for help or to solve problems?
• Will you be prepared?
