WHY MOBILE FOR
SHAREPOINT


MOBILE IS UBIQUITOUS

40% mobile annual growth

4.6B mobile phone users

85M tablets estimated sold in 2012

3x more smartphones use in 2011

12% of all handsets are smartphones


“The number of mobile
devices will exceed the
world’s population by
2012.”
Cisco VNI Mobile, 2012

to its desktop
to access and share
business intelligence

SO WHY ISN’T
EVERYONE
DOING THIS?

8


Three main barriers
to use SharePoint
on mobile devices

9


1. EXPERIENCE

Core SP functionality is not supported on
mobile devices out of the box: no
document upload nor edit; touch
experience not optimal for quick
information retrieval.

10


2. SECURITY

Issues on secure remote access into
the company, different devices, data
encryption. No enterprise-wide solution
means that users create their own,
leading to more problems.

11


3. CONNECTIVITY

Connections are still subject to wavy
accessibility in some situations. IT
departments would need to supply
increased bandwidth to cope with
increased usage.

WHAT IS THE BEST WAY
TO EXPOSE SHAREPOINT ON MOBILE?

MOBILE SHAREPOINT
OPTIONS


DO NOTHING
ACCESS SP ON YOUR MOBILE
AS A STANDARD WEB SITE

15


DO SOMETHING
YOU HAVE 5 OPTIONS

16


Out of the Box

3rd Party Framework

Mobile Web Apps

Native Apps

Responsive Design


Out of the Box


Out of the Box Mobile Views.

It’s the most basic available solution. Allows you to navigate
sites, lists, documents libraries and perform searches.

PROs CONs
- Pilot for “Real need” - No customisation option
- Cheap - Poor user experience
- Completely out of the box - Limited functionality
- Poor scalability

19


3rd Party Framework


3rd Party Framework.

Provides a 3rd party API to code against, usually templates that
allow a good extent of functionality and front end customisation.

PROs CONs
- Fully customisable - Not guaranteed at upgrade
- Fully extensible - Potentially expensive
- Expensive to maintain
- Requires new resource for
maintenance

22


Mobile Web Apps


Mobile Web Apps.

Ideal for specific requirements targeted at mobile users.
Cross-device compatibility.

PROs CONs
- Mobile specific user - Expensive execution
experience - Ongoing support and
maintenance
- Compatibility at upgrade
- Device specific
- Spot solution

SharePlus Harmon.ie

26


Native Apps


Native Apps.

Device specific application, using a specific programming
language (i.e. Java or Objective C). Allows you to exploit features
of the device (e.g. build the ability to use the camera into your
business processes etc).

PROs CONs
- Highly tailored user - Most expensive option
experience - Additional in-house
- Branded resources needed
- Ongoing support and
maintenance
- Device specific
- No upgrade path

28


Responsive Design


Responsive Design.

Using HTML5, the page scales and adapts to the device
resolution and screen size. It is ideal for delivering content to
users maintaining the same look and feel of your SP
implementation.

PROs CONs
- Cross-device - User experience not mobile
- Cross-platform speciﬁc
- Future proof
- Single user experience
regardless of device
- Also provides good
experience on wide
screens & notebooks
