Tracking Analyst Influence: Is there an easier way?

By on Sunday 6th July 2014 in Events, IIAR, IIAR Webinar 1

To follow the IIAR Webinar with ARInsights and Huawei “Tracking Analyst Influence: Is there an easier way?” on the 29th May 2014 this describes the systems used by Huawei and a case study of their experience. The full document, presentation and recording from the webinar are all available here.
