people. But what should it mean to the
small and medium business (SMB) space? How can my employees stay productive and
available anytime from anywhere? Is mobility simply a smartphone and tablet for
basic email, calendar and internet? Or
is there more? Can my mobile devices be
turned into powerful tools that give users access to the same telephone,
voicemail, instant messaging, productivity applications like Word, Excel, Publisher? What about my business accounting
applications like QuickBooks or other specific market vertical applications
that your users need every day? Finally,
can I access my documents, spreadsheet and other file server information from
anywhere, anytime on any device? The experts from United Datacom Networks Inc.
from Altoona, PA, Drew Miller, Marketing Specialist and Clyde Zimmerman, Senior
Vice President will present specifics on what mobility and cloud computing mean
to the typical SMB today. They will
answer the questions asked above while also addressing security, backup and

medium business space to be fully productive from anywhere, anytime on any
device while using all the applications you have used in the past!
