HANDS-ON LAB
A hands-on lab will be running throughout the show to let you try out Syclo's SMART Mobile Suite applications and Agentry development & management tools. It will be staffed by our sales engineers and consultants, and will feature a variety of devices so you can see different deployment options in action.
PRODUCT DEEP-DIVE SESSIONS
In addition to test-driving Syclo products in hands-on labs, you can also attend detailed demo sessions for most products in the SMART Mobile Suite. These sessions are structured in an open forum format so you can ask questions, solicit feedback from the presenter and other users, and learn more about configuring the product for your industry or functional area.
ASK THE EXPERTS
The "Ask the Experts" program lets you schedule one-on-one meetings with Syclo's senior professional services team to discuss your projects. It's a perfect opportunity to review technology challenges or new deployment issues, evaluate overall project direction and get expert advice on potential enhancements to your applications and business processes.
