Presentation to the BCS and IET at Norwich UEA

On Tuesday 10th, I'm giving a presentation to members of the British Computer Society and Institute of Engineers at the UEA in Norwich.

I've tried to keep my talk at a high level as there's so much material to introduce. I'm keen to cover several aspects and opportunities of Mobile Commerce including Mobile Payments, Mobile Ticketing and Mobile CRM. My slides are available for download at the following website:

Although there's no narrative to accompany the slides in their online form, I do hope you'll still find them interesting. Some of the animations haven't worked in the online form (you'll need PDF reader to view them by the way) but you should still be able to get the gist. The slide most affected is the one about Bulky Wallets. The animated slide shows a whole raft of credit cards, store cards, loyalty cards, train tickets and cash flying out of the wallet and into the mobile phone. I think this is quite a poignant slide as once consumers can get their heads around the fact that a wallet or purse is just a repository for your cash, cards, tickets etc and that storing the same electrical information on a mobile is the same thing only more convenient and more secure, then Mobile Commerce will really start to take off...

Anyway, hope you enjoy the slides. Please use the comment button below or my website Contact Us page to provide your feedback on the slides or anything else...

Thanks to Sybase/Paybox, Sponge Group and Mobilize Systems for some of the images used in the Use Case slides... Buy their products!!!!

Are Mobile Payments About to Become a Reality?

With the announcement that US Carriers have formed an alliance to deliver Mobile Payments and a similar deal taking place in Germany, is cash finally entering it's death throes? The news is that US carriers AT&T,T-Mobile and Verizon have joined forced to develop a nationwide mCommerce network that will utilise technologies such as NFC and Smartphone devices to allow payments to be made by swishing a mobile phone close to a payments receiver.  Think of the Barclaycard ads where they guy flies down the waterslide on his daily commute home and pauses ever so briefly to pass his bit of plastic over a sensor to pay for a banana he had a sudden craving for.  This is the same thing except you will wave your phone and not have to carry another bit of plastic around with you. The benefit of phone over plastic in this case is the richer interface.  The phone can act as a vessel in which to store financial information, such as the credentials for several credit cards or othe...

Contactless Payments - Should I Throw Way My Plastic

I shall apologies in advance for a bit of a ramble in this week's post as it's based on an email conversation I've been having with a guy called Manju who got in touch via my Linkedin .com page. It's about contactless payments which utilises Near Field Communication (NFC) technologies. For those of you that aren't up to speed on NFC I'll explain what it is in a second (actually I've c&pd from Wikipedia). For those who know it inside and out you may want to skip a few paragraphs... Essentially, NFC, is a short-range high frequency wireless communication technology which enables the exchange of data between devices over about a 10 centimetre (around 4 inches) distance (although my own tests suggests this is often more like 2 cms ). The technology is a simple extension of the ISO/ IEC 14443 proximity-card standard (as used in RFID ) that combines the interface of a smartcard and a reader into a single device. One of the real advantages of NFC is tha...

Mobile Marketing - What is It?

Any company selling goods and services to consumers or other businesses should become savvy in the practice of Mobile Marketing. It’s one of many marketing channels that have been around for sometime, but until now it’s been in the shadows of the mainstream mass media channels such as TV, Direct Marketing and, more recently, Online Marketing. However, according to Gartner, the number of people using the Mobile Web to find content on the Internet will, in 2010, surpasses those using a web browser on a PC. There are already over 3 billion mobile phone users in the world and in increasingly more countries, penetration exceeds 100% (as some have more than one phone). The fact is, thanks to advancing technology and ever reducing mobile data network prices, the mobile as a channel has matured and any brand ignoring the marketing value of this channel will start to fall behind its more adventurous competitors. (Dushinski) What is Mobile Marketing all about? One thing is certain, Mobile Marke...
