The document discusses the objectives and scope of the Cloud Mobility Special Interest Group (SIG). The SIG aims to determine the impact of cloud and mobility technologies on services and identify best practices. It outlines several challenges like the rise of tablets and managing a diverse environment of devices. The scope covers areas like mobile management systems, mobile services and clouds, smart technologies and services, and mobile architecture and protocols. The SIG plans to publish a white paper and define major topic areas for panels and workshops to further its goals.

Cloud Mobility SIG Objectives
Determine the impact of Cloud and/or Mobility on Services.
Identify mobile and cloud technologies, process, solutions and best practices to enhance services.
The current cycle is the era of the mobile Internet. Within the next five years “more users will connect to the Internet over mobile devices than desktop PCs.

Cloud Mobility SIG Challenges
Gartner Top 10 Technologies in 2012: 1. Media Tablets and Beyond.
 Users can choose between various form factors when it comes to mobile computing. No single platform, form factor or technology will dominate and companies should expect to manage a diverse environment with two to four intelligent clients through 2015.
 IT leaders need a managed diversity program to address multiple form factors, as well as employees bringing their own smartphones and tablet devices into the workplace.
Enterprises will have to come up with two mobile strategies – one to address the business to employee (B2E) scenario and one to address the business to consumer (B2C) scenario. On the B2E front, IT must consider social goals, business goals, financial goals, and risk management goals. On the B2C front, which includes business to business (B2B) activities to support consumers, IT needs to address a number of additional issues such as surfacing and managing APIs to access enterprise information and systems, integration with third-party applications, integration with various partners for capabilities such as search and social networking, and delivery through app stores.
