SIIA has been exploring how to reach out to companies that focus exclusively in mobile applications or that are evolving into it. In fact, the Software Division of SIIA is actually generating new projects as we speak in order to address growing needs.
While no answers came out of the discussion, there was clearly a need for continuing the discussion. View the Mobile Town Hall flip chart notes below.
