I don’t know what I don’t know…I just know what I want.
Massive impact
14
I want to be agnostic
Any device, any operating system
Corporate devices, shared and non-shared
BYOD
Customer facing too?
15
I want easy configuration
Standardized or user-customized?
Push new content, pull relevant data
What MDM?
How much functionality will be ‘shut off’ or restricted for policy reasons?
16
I want a lot of bandwidth
How many systems &/or networks will it need to access?
Users won’t restrict themselves to just the approved functions or applications.
17
I want adoption in field
It has to meet a real need and solve a real problem… and it has to make money doing it.
It can’t just be cool
It has to integrate well into existing work processes

I want to report results
Real time data
Usage data is important
Focus on KPIs
Real time data exported from TabbleDabbleinto Excel for instant analysis
