Nokia Eseries Enterprise Tools Seminar

Business users get a taste of the future of mobility.

The Nokia Eseries Enterprise Tools Seminar held last Saturday in KL Hilton drew an interesting mix of crowd. The seminar was organised by Mobile World magazine and sponsored by Nokia.

Executives from a mix of Internet and traditional businesses came to experience the solutions and the enterprise grade Eseries devices that Nokia has created especially for business users. Very appropriately, given the cutting edge solutions and devices on display there, the seminar tagline was ‘Tomorrow’s mobility today’.

Mobile World editor, Kashminder Singh started off the session with a presentation of trends that will shape life in the future. He painted a scenario of a pervasive worldwide interoperable network, the proliferation of smart machines and a new generation of people born and bred in the digital age as key trends that will shape the future. A lively discussion followed.

Later the participants were introduced to a total mobile workflow solution using the Eseries phones and related applications. Desmond Low, the country manager for Nokia Enterprise solutions division stressed that Nokia has a total end to end solution for any kind of businesses. With these solutions, business users can now work as easily outside their office as they would in the office.

Of special interest were solutions that enabled users to call each other’s office extensions on their mobile devices and also the ability to have their direct office lines answered on mobile devices transparently.

The Nokia Team Suite, which will be available for all Eseries devices soon, was another popular solution. It is designed for inter team communications and collaboration. Users can send emails and messages to a whole team effortlessly as well as perform many other work related functions.

Participants had a chance to try out the devices and applications in the afternoon when they took part in a fun game where they had to use the browser, email and VoIP features in the phones to communicate with their colleagues to submit a tender for a business project.

In the end, two lucky participants walked home with a Nokia E50 and Nokia E61 respectively which they won in a lucky draw and four others took home a one year subscription to Mobile World each.
