The SDKs offer an impressive amount of user interface flexibility, while the widgets are the simplest, fastest way to get something up and running.

Things were a bit quieter at Enterprise Connect today as the event came to a close with a few morning sessions and the final summary panel. The bits and bytes and shiny new hardware and software are great, but as many people repeated this week – it’s about the experience, it’s about the people, it’s about what technology allows us to do that makes the difference.
The Best of Enterprise Connect “recognizes exhibitors who have made significant technological advancements within the enterprise communications and collaboration industry.” Thank you, Enterprise Connect, for validating our vision around Cisco Spark Board.
