<p>Written by Pål Askvik </p> <p>Friday, 13 March 2009 00:08 </p> <p>The EpiServerdagen 2009 took place outside Stockholm on Tuesday March 10th 2009. More than 1000 visitors came to Kistamässan, and Mobiletech were present with 5 of our people. At our stand we presented our <a href="http://www.mobiletech.se/index.php/products/products/813-episerver-mobile-web-plug-in">EPiServer plugin</a>, in addition to other mobile services. </p> <p>We also helped <a href="http://www.episerver.com/">EPiServer</a> with our mobile expertise, and did the following:</p> <p><strong>Mobile portal</strong></p> <p>See <a href="http://dxad.mobi/EPiServerdagen-2009/">http://dxad.mobi/EPiServerdagen-2009/</a></p> <p>Included the agenda and relevant information. The portal is dual language, both Swedish and English. All Swedish end-users will get Swedish text, while international users will get English text.</p> <p>&#160;<a href="/link/6500ee9562fd45a5bb0329f7b2dd2cdd.png"><img title="EPiServer Day 2009" style="border-top-width: 0px; display: inline; border-left-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px" height="244" alt="EPiServer Day 2009" src="/link/a0ff60c7c38444fe930ec2f670f96fae.png" width="141" border="0" /></a></p> <p>&#160;<strong>SMS services</strong></p> <p>The introduction speaker came to a point where she mentioned the word 'mobile', and at the same time we hit the button in our systems, resulting in several hundred sms-messages received by the audience simultaneously. This is always quite a powerful experience!</p> <p><a href="http://www.mvote.no/">mVote</a></p> <p>mVote is a powerful tool where the participants may vote by texting an sms to a short code, e.g. MVOTE 10 (1-4), where 10 is the id of the mVote, and 1-4 is the number of alternatives. An example of an sms can be: MVOTE 10 3 to 72311 (Sweden). The results will be displayed on an automatically updated graph, which can be viewed with a normal web browser. The keynote speaker <a href="http://www.forrester.com/">Tim Forrester</a> asked the following question (results in brackets):</p> <p>Over the next 12 months, how will your company's deployments or usage of Web content management change? Will the number of deployments or usage...?</p> <p>1. Increase (77,3%)</p> <p>2. Remain the same (15,3%)</p> <p>3. Be scaled back (1,7%)</p> <p>4.
