In a world where 17-year-olds with no coding experience can build a cross-platform smoking cessation app and a field services company can become a mobile app company, it’s not a secret that mobility is turning the tables. For CIOs and IT departments intent on addressing mobile head-on, it’s important to keep an ear to the ground and pay attention to the people who really “get” mobility.
To help you do this, here’s the first five (in no particular order) in an ongoing series sharing enterprise mobility influencers to follow online:

He writes on his Forrester blog about topics ranging from building a mobile organizationto the importance of APIs, providing high-level and in-depth content for CIOs and other IT professionals looking for guidance on enterprise mobility – and a sense of where the market is headed.
