The document discusses mobilizing Microsoft SharePoint Server. It outlines the current mobile solutions and challenges with SharePoint. An enterprise mobile backend as a service (mBaaS) is proposed to address these challenges by providing a consistent development experience and abstracting complexities. KidoZen is presented as an mBaaS that supports SharePoint integration through features like authentication, data access, events/notifications and multi-factor authentication in a mobile-first approach. Demos are provided and benefits of the mBaaS model for SharePoint mobilization are discussed.

5. The Current Solutions

6. Mobile Support in SharePoint Server 2013
• Mobile views
–Contemporary
–Classic
–Full
• Mobile Alerts
• Device channels
• Push notifications
• BI content

7. There are a few challenges….

8. I would like a native experience

9. And a better user experience

10. SharePoint authentication from mobile
devices(Claims, Windows) is a pain on
the…..

11. With mobile we need new levels of
authorization and access control: Apps,
Devices?

12. API, client libraries integration from
mobile apps is not exactly trivial

13. Content usage & data visualization best
practices is really needed

14. And every enterprise mobile app needs
backend capabilities other than
SharePoint. Ex: Storage, logging,
integration with other systems…

15. Is not about pre-built apps. Is about
leveraging SharePoint as a platform

16. As a mobile developer….

17. I don’t need to understand a SharePoint
infrastructure

18. I would like a simple model to integrate
with SharePoint without becoming a
SharePoint expert

19. As an IT Pro….

20. I would like to manage the mobile
SharePoint experience in the same way
we manage other mobile apps

21. We need a mobile middleware?

24. Introducing the enterprise mobile
backend as a service

25. Enable backend to mobile apps in the
form of cloud services

26. Abstract the complexities of mobile
backend using a consistent
development and management
experience

27. mBaaS= Cloud-Mobile Services + Mobile
SDKs + Management Console

28. mBaaS != PaaS

29. PaaS are not mobile-first platforms

30. Mobile-first?

31. App centric infrastructure

32. MBaaS App = Services (Compute) +
Infrastructure (Storage)

33. MBaaS services must be context-
aware(ex: location)

34. MBaaS should focus on simplify the
development and management of
mobile apps

35. MBaaS should support native mobile
services (ex: push notifications, SMS)
