A successful organization is one that takes advantage of market transitions; that catches the market as it turns and takes advantage of the new behaviors, new revenues, and new opportunities. We are living in a time of an unprecedented number of major market transformations taking place at one time -- Collaboration, Virtualization, Video, and Mobility -- and they are strongly intertwined. These transformations will have a major impact on your business, depending on how you understand and react. In a Changing Market Expertise Matters: With decades of experience in driving the proliferation of IP, Cisco offers service providers solutions that are purpose-built around IP and Mobile IP to deliver consistent services and QoS. By extending our portfolio of routing, switching, and gateway products and solutions to support mobile networks, we are committed to helping service providers become “experience providers.” In the Cisco Pre-Conference Workshop, we will focus on Mobility, from the business drivers and economics, to the solutions and reference architectures that will enable your success. The agenda will also highlight Cisco’s NTCA Pre-Conference Workshop Registration: Registration for this event is free. To attend please sign-up on-site at the Austin Ballroom (Salon G).
