I had the honor of being invited to be the keynote speaker at the annual conference of the Idaho Business League yesterday. It is a rare time that I get to attend an event close to home. The conference was packed, and we had a great time together discussing enterprise mobility and what it means to the businesses of Idaho.

While attending the conference, I met up with Jody Sedrick, one of the founders of Zenware. Zenware develops cloud based mobile applications that are integrated with Quickbooks, a huge market! This video is an interview that I did with Mr. Sedrick.

Upcoming Webinar of Note: HTML 5 vs Native Mobile App Development: Practical Insights, The VDC Research Report on Mobile Development Strategy. February 2, 1 PM EST Register Here!
