Enterprise apps developer conference: SaaS & Mobile Cloud Computing - An increasingly mobilised workforce and the boom in the consumer apps sector have led to a rapid expansion of demand for enterprise app development and the emergence of the enterprise app store.

Through this two day, free-to-attend, track we will look at real-world examples of apps being used for business. Examine how applications fit into traditional organisations, enabling remote working and real time data accessibility; and discover why the enterprise market is so attractive to developers.

From exploring the business essential issues around devices, hosting and security when considering enterprise app strategy, and how the cloud comes into play as part of this strategy. To technical talks and discussions on development fundamentals; cross-platform tools; UI/ design; MBaaS and security. This track covers a myriad of topics on the business and development of apps for the enterprise.
