Touching upon the line-of-business (LOB) app deployment and management, today at Microsoft’s TechEd Europe 2012, Augusto Valdez, Senior Product Manager for Microsoft Windows Phone briefly shared with us of the Company Hub concept that would be coming up in Windows Phone 8 devices deployed for businesses.

Here’s a brief overview of different company/user-centric information you might have access to when your company deploys the Company Hub.
Currently, the Company Hub is only a concept and is a work-in-progress as Microsoft prepares various templates for easy internal deployment in the future.
