    Topic: Connected Consumer Experience for Mobile Scenarios
    You've heard all these terms – ESB, SOA, SaaS. We'll explore these as well as talk about a more practical approach called S+S. To do this, we'll look at a solution architecture that we all can relate to – bringing our digital life into the car. If you own either one of these, this presentation is for you.
