Case studies of successful mobility projects will be presented by Aberdeen City Council, Highland Council and Fife Council, who will share their experience and give advice to other Local Authorities in attendance.

It really shows that Scottish Local Authorities are investing in mobile technology to improve services and tackle budget cuts. We’re looking forward to meeting the delegates to discuss their mobile working strategies and share our experience helping Councils improve their working processes”
