Mobile is now strategic, mandating a consistent approach to
development and delivery
There are multiple approaches to mobile development:
Approach Shortcomings
100% Native Development – use native • Expensive development and maintenance
languages of the device OS (i.e. Objective • Long time to market & limited scalability of
C with Apple SDK for iOS) development
• Scarce and costly resources
Hybrid App Development – use open • Lacking enterprise-grade functionality
source languages and tools such as • Limited access to device features
HTML5/JS/CSS3 and PhoneGap • No integration and services layer
1st Generation Mobile Enterprise • Limiting WYSIWYG IDEs
Application Platforms (MEAP) – for example • Proprietary scripting languages & limited scalability
KONY, Antenna Software, Verivo and of development
Sybase SUP • Professional Service-based business models
• Lack of Strong ROI

Mobile as a Sales and Marketing Channel is now considered strategic by most large Companies and this is mandating more control over development and delivery. Companies have many options as to how to develop Enterprise Mobile Applications: 100% native development using languages such as Objective-C, Java, .Net and others that entail unique skills and resources that are not transferable to other environments and mobile projects. This approach is expensive and time-consuming. In-house development leveraging the growing ecosystem of (mostly) open-source libraries, frameworks and tools such as PhoneGap, jQuery Mobile, Sencha Touch, Dojo Mobile and others. This approach might be economical, but such tools lack the tools and functionality that the modern mobile enterpriser requires, e.g. back-end integration and services layer that allows apps to communicate with a variety of back-end systems, as well as enable features such as version control, access management, authentication, and data collection and analysis. Furthermore, these tools allow limited access to the rich features that modern devices offer, directly affecting user experience and, as a result, app adoption. Mobile Enterprise Application Platforms (MEAP) – The ROI of existing MEAP Solutions has not been proven yet, and customers are having mixed results using these platforms to support their mobile efforts. Proprietary scripting languages, increase cost, complexity and time to market. Code translators and auto-compilers normally result in a cumbersome code that is hard to customize and maintain and can impact app performance. Typically requires large number of vendor services when building complex applications.
Connecting the applications to backend systems presents multiple hurdles around security, authentication and scalability. As organizations mobilize more lines of business, controlling multiple applications in the wild and managing their ongoing performance can bring any IT department to thier knees.
The IBM Worklight platform is designed to seamlessly integrate into the enterprise environment, leveraging its existing resources and adhere to the strictest security requirements of the organization. The platform channels back-end systems to the end-user, retrieves and updates data from multiple sources, and supports transactional capabilities as well as the invocation of different services and applications.
This is the end to end topology view starting with User uses app (A) on device D connecting to network (N) Over the Internet or Intranet (I/i) using a Gateway/Reverse Proxy (GW) Connecting to Worklight server (WL), which inturns uses an ESB or Integration Broker (IB) to connect to the Internet (I) or existing backend resources (EBE) We will look at variations on this pattern for specific use cases.
1 – Dispatching notifications by polling back-end apps or receiving back-end-originated events 2 – Uniform server-side API for pushing notifications via Apple, Android, BlackBerry and SMS 3 – Maintaining push state of each user and device details 4 – Dispatching the notification via the appropriate notification service 5 – Uniform client-side API for subscribing to notifications and handling them on the device 6 – Monitoring and controlling notification delivery; Statistics of notification delivery

So what ’s different about the mobile lifecycle? Consumerization of IT Customers (being enlightened/spoiled by recent advances, particularly from Apple) are having higher expectations of UX from mobile apps Line of Business are responding to that and looking at mobile to drive differentiation and to drive brand As a result – there is more direct involvement from users/stakeholders in the requirements/design domains Fragmentation There is a wider variety of devices, platforms and form-factors in the mobile market, and there continue be high degree of evolution From development perspective, how are you going to share hardware design or common code across these variants? Also adds complexity to testing efforts Pace of innovation/Urgent time-to-market As discussed, mobile is moving at a rapid pace. Also, the perspective of using mobile as a differentiator also drives urgent time-to-market Lots of release – on PC lucky to get a version in 12-18 months, in mobile it is in weeks or days Drives need to have more integrated and efficient lifecycle to reduce inefficiency due to siloes, hand-offs, continuous delivery Market is hungry for guidance and best practices
While the opportunities mobile presents are significant and mobile has become an enterprise requirement, there are a number of challenges clients face: First, at a business level, the basic models are changing in the way the business interacts and transacts with customers, employees and partners. Full business transactions need to be enabled with low latency request/response characteristics 24x7 from anywhere in the world at anytime. Knowledge of location can be important and utilized as part of the interaction. Social business interactions add opportunities and complexity to the space. Second, as we mentioned earlier the app development lifecycle is more complicated. In addition to being faster and more iterative, you have to deal with multiple device platforms and development styles. You have to securely integrate into back-end enterprise services and cloud and be ready to scale appropriately – even when demand occurs in less predictable patterns. On top of all that you have unique mobile requirements like a user interface that has significant restrictions in terms of real-estate. Third, you need to figure out how to protect your confidential information and the privacy of the participants – all while you are enabling connection through devices owned privately by the participants themselves and not controlled by the enterprise. You also have to figure out how to manage all the elements effectively from the device to the back-end platform. These are real challenges. Our recent Tech Report indicated the top three mobile adoption concerns: security/privacy, cost of development, integrating with cloud.
As clients build and deploy ever more sophisticated mobile applications, and do so across multiple platforms, the need for managing and securing those devices only increases. The first step is to achieve full visibility and analytics - how many devices are in my environment? what OS are they running? what apps have they installed? what enterprise resources are they using? what employee groups do they belong to? From there it is possible to develop and implement the right policies across different kinds of devices, uses, and employees. For example, certain groups of employees may come to rely exclusively on mobile devices - besides security, they must have the same level of availability they have today. And of course these tiny devices are easily lost or stolen and frequently replaced, making automated provisioning and employee self-service a must-have. All this must be accomplished within existing budgets - meaning a solution that is scalable and extendable. IBM clients solve this problem by taking a unified device approach across mobile, Point of Sale, kiosk, desktop/laptop, and server environments.
