Mobile Technology – Planning | IT Services @ Bristol

Its an exciting time for mobile technology, new devices are being constantly  created and refined in both tablet and smartphone form factors. Driven by consumers these devices are incorporating new technologies and enabling us to do more and more with devices. The lines between what we define as phone and computer are now not as rigid as before, as such we need to make sure we structure our thinking and policies around making the best use of the technology within the University. To do this we need to have a combination of fresh thinking, challenging the existing policies and evaluating how these technologies fit within our IT Environment.
At the beginning of August I joined the Residential and Mobile IT department as a Mobile Technology Specialist. A lot of my time has been spent looking at projects that are currently underway within the University that are either completely mobile or have elements that include Mobile Technology. I have also spent my time investigating mobile technologies that can benefit and staff and student, and considering how we can deliver more mobile services to benefit the University.
Recently we had a brainstorming meeting with the following members of IT Services:
Assistant Director – Infrastructure/Operations – Nick
Residential and Mobile IT Manager – Mark
Mobile Technology Specialist – Chris (Me)
In this meeting we tried to start with a blank canvas and brainstorm what the University want to get out of Mobile Technology. To do this we wrote down ideas on post it notes and then grouped similar Items together. The outcome of that process can be seen below:


As you can see from the picture above (you may need to zoom to read some of the handwriting though!), there are a few distinct groupings.

Will mobile phone competition spell the end of the MP3 player?

Berlin - Even though it seems that everyone is getting a smartphone these days, there is still a market for the lowly MP3 player - the devices that got the digital music revolution started in the first place - especially if you're looking for a multimedia device that won't break the budget.

Still, it's a fair question to wonder if a basic MP3 player has any kind of long-term future, when market analysts note that every second mobile phone purchased tends to be a smartphone. A Gartner survey suggests 95 per cent of the German market for example will be based on smartphones by 2015.

Which would seem to argue against people keeping separate music players. However, the German Society for Entertainment and Communications Technology (gfu) sees a future for them.

Singapore Poly aims for fully mobile tech-enabled campus by 2014

 Singapore Polytechnic said it is on track to become a fully mobile technology-enabled campus by 2014.

It recently organised a Mobile Festival to help students build their competency in the creation and use of mobile technology.

One of the innovations shown at the festival is the use of iPhones and iPads to make music. The mobile devices were configured with specially designed apps to produce these sounds.

Other innovative ideas featured at the festival include an app that allows students to buy and sell used textbooks.

The polytechnic has a vision of becoming a mobile-enabled campus, where mobile technology is extensively used.

Tan Hang Cheong, principal of Singapore Polytechnic, said: "We do not really know what technology mobile devices will be like by 2014 because (technology) changes so quickly. Hopefully, we can reach a stage where mobile devices can really replace notebooks and PCs."

Mobile: The Next Big Game-Changer for Agents

The explosion in popularity of smartphones, iPads and other tablets is changing customer expectations and behavior so rapidly, and so significantly, that travel agents who ignore mobile do so at their own peril.

That’s the consensus of travel technology experts who see mobile poised to transform the way travel agents engage with their clients – conceivably as dramatically as did the Internet.

Mobile isn’t a threat to agents, they say. It actually holds tremendous positive potential for agent-client relations.

But agents will need to make the mobile phenomenon their own, just as surely they needed to learn to use the Internet to their advantage, rather than being supplanted by it, said David Goodis, founder and chief executive officer of Revelex Corp.

‘Customers will demand it’
“Agents have got to be able to serve up what they have on any device. Customers will demand it,” said Goodis.

Goodis urged agents to adopt a multichannel approach. “We’re on the cusp” of that change occurring in the marketplace, said Goodis, whose firm is currently developing technology for agents that will enable them to adopt the mobile channel.
