Technology Marketing Corporation (TMC),
producer of Planet PDA: The Global Summit on Handheld Productivity
Solutions December 5th, 2001 at the Venetian Resort in Las Vegas,
Nevada, is hosting the first annual "Battle For The
Enterprise." This one of a kind event will allow users of
handheld devices to find out which handheld platform is best for their
company.
"Battle For The Enterprise"
offers a first-class forum for learning which handheld platform will
make your enterprise more efficient and more profitable when
effectively deployed in your enterprise. From seamless
anytime/anywhere access to corporate networks, to field sales and
service and vertical market applications, PDAs and other handheld
devices are transforming mobile workers from out-of-sight, out-of-mind
road warriors into never-out-of-touch contributors.
"Everyone knows a successful
enterprise today requires a sound handheld computing strategy. For NEC
Computers, the future of the PDA lies in the enterprise market -
because everyone also knows the successful enterprise today requires a
sound handheld computing strategy. It's perfect timing and a perfect
venue for this event," said Larry Miller, vice president of
marketing for NEC Computers Inc., a corporate sponsor of Planet PDA
and a Battle For The Enterprise participant.
J. Gerry Purdy, President and CEO of
Mobile Insights, Inc., a professional services firm located in Mt.
View, California, will moderate Battle For The Enterprise. One of the
foremost authorities on the market opportunity for handheld devices,
Dr. Purdy has recruited a top-notch panel of participants for Battle
For The Enterprise. Included are: NEC Computers, PDA Verticals,
Microsoft Corporation, and Compaq.
Marc Robins, TMC's vice president of publications and trade shows says
"that with over 15 million units sold to date, Palm is in the
enviable position of having the largest user base of any handheld
device manufacturer. Coupled with an army of over 140,000 software
developers and more than 10,000 available software applications, the
Palm family of handheld devices has become a major force in the
handheld computing marketplace.
Microsoft's WinCE-powered PocketPC and
HandheldPC platforms, manufactured by such leading companies as
Compaq, Casio, Hewlett-Packard, Sharp, NEC, Intermec, Itronix, Symbol,
Palmax and others, have become extremely popular, and are giving Palm
and the Palm clone manufacturers a real run for the money," added
Robins.
Rich Tehrani, TMC's president feels the
strength of Planet PDA lies in the companies participating.
"Starting with NEC, Avaya, Siemens and Navigation Technologies,
and including companies like GoAmerica, 3Com, Symbol, Air2Web,
Asynchrony, MobileSoft and others, the conference program is filled
with presenters who can help ALL attendees - from those at square one
of the process, to those in their 2nd or 3rd deployment of PDAs in
their organization. There is simply no other event where enterprise
management can find the answers they'll find at Planet PDA," said
Tehrani.
