At the most recent seminar in the series, attended by small and mid-sized business owners, Cioffi spoke to individuals, business owners and professionals about the opportunities and challenges of mobile computing. “Mobile computing is not just about the power of the device in your pocket or its ability to connect,” said Cioffi “it’s about being able to work in conjunction with Cloud-based services, where data is stored and where there are different services available on-line.”
Whether it’s on a smart phone, a laptop, a tablet or another device, Cioffi noted that “…mobile computing is a constant – it’s on all the time and we depend on it all the time now.”
While working from home, on the road and on multiple devices, Cioffi advised the audience on how to stay connected, be more efficient and keep their data secure while growing their businesses with help from mobile technology. He discussed the importance of and the numerous methods necessary to effectively protect proprietary data in a mobile computing environment.

Cioffi, a Microsoft Small Business Specialist, is a seasoned speaker and writer on a variety of technology topics for small and mid-sized business, and an official advisor to Microsoft. In addition, he recently gained the Apple Mobility Competency. He will be joined by additional subject matter experts.
