As the consumerization of IT accelerates, banks and other financial institutions are being challenged to adopt hybrid mobile solutions that let users, customers, and partners access – and enter – business critical information from an ever-increasing range of mobile devices. Who is driving this mobile adoption, and how can your organization ensure it will be competitive?

This TechBytes series, presented by Slashdot Media and sponsored by IBM will look at three industries that are leading the mobility parade: Finance and banking, retail and hospitality, and healthcare and insurance. Each TechBytes segment will focus on one of these key industries, and industry experts will address key questions including:

• What market trends are shaping how mobility is being employed?
• Are new user interface models required for an increasingly millennial user base?
• Can BYOD work in highly regulated industries like finance?
• How can organizations accelerate their mobile adoption?
• What are the most important considerations for embracing mobility
• Can mobile solutions truly be secure?
