At the end of 2011, Solstice Consulting did something radical when it decided to retire all of its other emerging tech service lines—including cloud, social media and others—to focus solely on enterprise mobility. J. Schwan, Founder and President of Solstice, says the firm made the decision because "we think mobile will be as big as the PC revolution and arguably larger than the Internet revolution." Since the move, Solstice has doubled in size and the demand for its services has never been greater, he says. Schwan, along with Kelly Manthey, Mobile Delivery Manager, Solstice Consulting, will discuss how consulting firms of all sizes can use mobile technologies to impact the bottom line as part of their "Winning With Mobile: New Technologies Mean Business" presentation at the Consulting Summit in New York on Oct. 25. Schwan recently sat down with Consulting One on One to talk about the mobile revolution and how it impacts Solstice and its clients.
