Seamless Scalability
Training of users on mobility
Seamless Scalability
• Going from Pilot to Production (MDM)
• Server Load balancing, Failover etc
Training
• Keep it Short/Simple & part of the apps
• Circulate updated how-to’s part of the
app
5. How to approach
Ease of use
• Give importance to UI richness
(iPhone Vs J2ME)
Offline Access
