	Mobile business - From telephony to the mobile office • Session 1: Managing mobile fleets Around one third of European employees are equipped with a mobile phone for work, and the rate of equipment is rising by a point each year. Mobile phones have become an indispensable tool for travelling workers and managers, while also representing a sizeable expense in company’s budgets. Telecom executives are now facing a several challenges: controlling costs (long-distance, fixed to mobile calls), operator management (multi-operator or not, pan-European or national telco), and the convergence of fixed and mobile functionalities.

	Mobile business - From telephony to the mobile office • Session 2: The mobile office Mobile office services really got off the ground in 2004. They allow employees to access their e-mail, the Internet and the company Intranet. But, several issues remain: what are the benefits for the company, and what major advancements are expected from these services: bitrates, handsets, security, portage of corporate applications to mobiles.

	Outsourcing - From outsourcing telecom infrastructures to outsourcing information systems • Session 3: Telecommunications outsourcing: how far? Outsourcing is increasing at a phenomenal pace due to the rate of technological change, but especially due to economic imperatives and the need to streamline corporate structures. Contracts for managing virtual private networks constitute the first step towards outsourcing, but other trends are beginning to emerge: hardware management, managing contracts with operators, right up to BPO. This major shift gives rise to certain fundamental strategic issues: impact on the company’s organization, consequences of allocating roles between task management and facilities management, the changing role of telcos and integrators.

	Outsourcing - From outsourcing telecom infrastructures to outsourcing information systems • Session 4: Telecom services and computing services The growing convergence between LAN and WAN has made it crucial to manage the coherence between workstations, the company’s internal network and its extended networks. The sharing of roles between a company’s telecom and computer teams, facilities managers and telcos needs to evolve as well. In the same vein, the transition to all IP and the widespread use of major corporate applications (SCM, CRM, SFA…) via the Internet is dealing players a new hand (telcos, software houses, software publishers, integrators). What are the new frontiers? For which services?
