VIsion from the Top 2012: Larry Cates, KeyStone OnDemand
Does Mobile fall into one of your top 5 priorities for 2012? If so, how will you be attacking it? If not, why not?
As a global provider of SaaS based training and development software and solutions, one of our top priorities in 2012 is to address the needs of a growing Mobile workforce. We will be attacking these challenges on several levels. We understand the need to effectively enable the workforce to access key information and training resources quickly, on-demand, using a variety of mobile technology ranging from smart phones to tablets and other mobile devices.
As we look at current trends in learning and how users are accessing information in today's environment, we see a growing demand within the mobile learning community. Our goal is to enable users to have unlimited access to the critical information they need, regardless of time or location and more effectively access and utilize the information they need to be productive in today's mobile environment.
In regards to specific initiatives around enabling mobile technology, we are continuing to develop new applications that allow mobile users to seamlessly connect with our software and content in a cloud environment. Mobile users can already access various forms of our media-based training from their iPad or tablet. Going forward, we will continue to focus on offering solutions that enable users to quickly have access to the training resources they need on a variety of mobile devices and software applications.
In addition to helping organizations make their information quickly available to their Mobile workforce, we are also sensitive to the new challenges and risks associated with the use of mobile technology. As a global provider of information security training and awareness, we continue to monitor these threats and develop solutions to help organizations implement best practices, by securing their sensitive information and intellectual property in the growing mobile environment.
Mobile learning technology and devices provide on-demand access to the global workforce in today's business environment. We are therefore continuing to focus on the development of new user-friendly technologies and services that enable users and their organizations to leverage the benefits of mobile technology.
