27. Unify Cloud and Mobile Strategies:
Cloud/Client Computing
• The application is in the cloud.
• Cloud is the coordination point and system of record.
• Clients can be anything with varying levels of data
and logic.
• Applications can span multiple clients.
• Multichannel, Multi-scn., ensemble interactions.
• The experience flows to the user in context.
• Mobile is not about devices … it is about people.
