Genentech and Roche, global leaders in the biotech industry, have a mobile program as old as the iPhone itself, with over 200 apps for employees. Christian Santiago, Technical Lead & Product Manager, Enterprise Mobile Apps, will describe how the mobile program has matured from an experimental group to a product team. How they got to this place is a fascinating story of trial and error, user centered design, data challenges, and internal marketing of mobile apps.

Mobility has become the change agent for business transformation.  What started with simple user-led demand, productivity and cost efficiency initiatives, has evolved into a story of deeper customer relationships, enabling enterprise workforces to engage at the edge, and reducing the delays that characterize most enterprise processes. For example, field sales personnel no longer have to leave the customer’s side to advance a purchase process. They can immediately obtain product information, pricing data, even obtain quote approvals using their mobile device. Organizations lacking this ability will suffer competitively. Join Good Technology in this session to learn more about how secure mobile workflows are changing the new digital business.
