Is your organization ready to go mobile but wants to do it in the simplest and quickest way possible? This Catavolt presentation explains how small apps have an opportunity to provide a huge impact for your business.

1. The Shortest Path to Value for
Business Mobile Apps

2. State of Business Mobility
Corporate-
Owned,
Personally
Enabled
(COPE)
Bring Your
Own Device
(BYOD)
Mobile Device
Management
(MDM)
Enterprise
Mobility
Management
(EMM)
Apps

3. 2003: Mobility as a Hybrid Device
• In 2003, Blackberry devices were
introduced with physical keyboards
• COPE (Corporate-Owned,
Personally Enabled)
• Consumers had the ability to text
message and e-mail from a mobile
device for the first time

4. 2007: The BYOD Revolution
• In 2007, Apple introduced the first
iPhone
• One-to-two function apps were
launched
• Changed the way we viewed
software—lighter, quicker and gets
out of the way when you’re done
with it

5. The Implementation of MDM
• The introduction of Android
devices saw the beginning of
different operating systems
• Unpredictable landscape for mobile
device security
• Corporate IT departments
responded with implementing
MDM to secure corporate data

6. The Shift Away from MDM
• Forward thinking IT departments
began to move away from MDM
and towards EMM in the late
2000’s
• Management of data and apps
began on corporate back ends,
rather than on the user’s device

7. The Shift Towards Managing Apps
• Today, the focus is shifting away
from managing devices towards
managing apps
• By implementing apps,
organizations provide new
opportunities for maximizing
operational excellence and
modernizing business processes

8. Applications vs. Apps
Applications Apps
Serve a Full Business Function
Examples:
Sales Order Management
CRM
Time and Attendance
Focused on One Use Case
Examples:
Quick Quote Entry
360 Degree Customer View
Check Employee Time Cards

9. How to Shorten the Path?
Think Small

10. Small Apps, Big Impact
Delta App
Time saved using the
Delta app at check-in:
3 Minutes
Enplaned Passengers
in 2013:
120,000,000

11. Small Apps, Big Impact
What if everyone “went mobile” with the
Delta App?
Extrapolate the Impact:
320,000,000 minutes saved
Over 5 Million Hours
Over 200,000 Days
Over 547 Years

12. No App is Too Small
Where ideas come from:
• Application vendors
• Business users
• Operations
• Process improvement
Where apps come from:
• Procured from vendors
• Built by IT
• In house
• Contracted
Why it’s so expensive:
• Cost of development
• iOS & Android & Windows & …
• Maintenance (20% annually)
Why it takes so much time:
• Development approach
• App stores
• Consumerization

13. “App Starvation”
Only a trickle of
apps are delivered
Only the highest
ROI projects get
approved
IT believes it’s
providing good
support
Business users
quit asking

14. Unleash App Ideas
Strategic
Important
Convenient
Each offers similar:
• Expense
• Challenge
• Opportunity

15. Small is Not the Same as Simple
Mobile apps offer:
• Dashboards
• Operations monitors
• Time approvals
• Document views
• Find a conference room

16. If unencumbered by the
process, how many apps
would you create?

19. Go Lean by Going Mobile
Identify Customer
Value
(Responsiveness)
Map the Value Stream
(Optimize Processes)
Create Flow
(Track Metrics,
Eliminate Waste)
Pursue Perfection
(Use an Agile, Iterative
Dev. Approach)
Establish Pull
(Determine Optimal

20. 1. Identify Customer Value
• Define value from the perspective of your final customer
and meeting their needs
• Focus on responsiveness and the need for high
functionality
• Analyze data to determine what your customers want and
needs

21. 2. Map the Value Stream

deliver
• Create a map of your current state of operations and the
desired future for your organization
• Mapping the value stream is a crucial part of lean
implementation of mobile apps

22. 3. Create Flow
• Tracking metrics from any place, at any time allows your
managers to make operations decisions more quickly
• Ensure your mobile apps flow smoothly through each step
of your manufacturing process in the least lead-time
possible
• Eliminate unnecessary operational waste

23. 4. Establish Pull
• Determine optimal materials & eliminate labor costs
• Let your team take a role in determining what is needed
from your mobile apps
• Use mobile analytics to locate orders and materials more
easily
• Track labor costs as they occur

24. 5. Pursue Perfection
• Maximize efficiencies in production, labor, cost and
revenue
• Make changes & innovate consistently to maintain a
competitive advantage in the market
• Use an agile, iterative development approach to
implementing mobile apps in your organization

25. So What’s Important?
Stick to 1
function apps
App should be
hyper-relevant
to the user
Keep users
close to
development
Code as little
as possible
Adoption is
best measure
of ROI
Be prepared to
make 100
