Oct. 11, 2011 09:24 AM
Last Month the Sybase SAP Nordic Roadshow again hit 4 countries in 4 days... Stockholm Sweden, Helsinki Finland, Oslo Norway and Copenhagen Denmark. A serious amount of traveling, delivering a serious amount of content, within the 3 tracks Manage, Analyze and Mobilize.
A number of the key speakers, including myself had presented at Sybase TechWave, which was co-located with SAP TechEd in Las Vegas the week before... Raj Rathee and Javier Cuerva had Manage, Dan Lahl had Analyze and I had Mobilize. Along for the ride we also had guest speakers from 18 partners and local Sybase / SAP colleagues. We had some great external speakers such as TeliaSonera, InfoTrust, Novo Nordisk, Telenor, Accenture, Tieto
Attendance was higher than last years similar Roadshow at nearly 600 Attendees... Finland was the largest event with 220 delegates. We put the increase of numbers partially due to the support of SAP and especially the increase in interest for Mobility generally. In fact each mobility track, for each location, was greatly attended, by very a very attentive audience. On show was the Sybase Unwired Platform, which is a key part of the SAP Mobility Platform, along with Sybase Afaria and the newly build productivity and workflow apps from SAP.
Yours truly presented two sessions.... The State of the Mobile Union and Connect, Create & Consume - Creating Mobile Apps with SUP.
Please check out Afaria and SUP on the Sybase Website.
