“While hosted internationally, the event aligns to our local Samsung Enterprise Alliance Programme (SEAP), aimed at meeting the needs of Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) in developing innovative solutions for enterprises. We are passionate about creating extended opportunities for business productivity and efficiency through the development of enterprise applications – which provide value-adds for our customers and of course enhance their mobile workforce – and it is great to see that this local passion is syndicated with our global colleagues through an event of this nature,” concludes Ferreira.
