As the world continues to become digital and mobile, the communications ecosystem is being disrupted. Rather than trying to defend an obsolete business model, operators need to change their point of view and consider the broader possibilities being created by this very transformation as it disrupts every other industry.
The characteristics of the new environment are such, that the current "cambrian explosion" of apps will continue with no end in sight - especially as new technologies such as wearables, connected car/home, the internet of things and even implantables appear on the scene.
To support the massive proliferation of apps, a new breed of players is appearing: the Communications-as-a-Service Platform providers (CaaS). They will do to the communications stack what Google Maps did for maps or Paypal for payments: simplify it to the point where any developer is able to integrate it into their application with just a few lines of code.
In this new world, operators need to partner with CaaS providers to fully participate in the tremendous value creation opportunity, leveraging the strength of the startup world with their own, to unleash the hidden potential in their own capabilities and infrastructure.
Point-to-Point vs. MEAP - The Right Approach for an Integrated Mobility Solut...RapidValue
There are two commonly used approaches for building integrated mobility solutions: Point-to-point integration and Mobile Enterprise Application Platform (MEAP).
This paper explains why an enterprise mobility integration solution is needed, describes and compares the two approaches, and provides a guide for how to choose the right mobility integration technique for your organization. The paper also examines various MEAP platforms available and the key differences between popular platforms - Kony and SAP Unwired Platform.
From a mobile application development standpoint, there is another widely used approach: cross-platform development frameworks. These frameworks allow
developers to build once and deploy across multiple device platforms. However, these frameworks lack integration and mobile device management capabilities,
and therefore we have excluded them from consideration for the purposes of this whitepaper. To learn more about cross-platform development, download our whitepaper: “How to Choose the Right Architecture for your Mobile Application” -

WSO2Con EU 2016: Enterprise Mobility Management: Moving Beyond Traditional MDMWSO2
Enterprises have always needed a clear strategy when adopting mobility. However, these strategies have drastically evolved during the last couple of years. They are no longer centered around traditional device management problems like whether to allow BYOD (bring your own device) or COPE (corporately owned, personally enabled), or which device platform to operating system to use. Instead, the focus has now shifted to much more advanced strategies that enable organizations to build connected businesses that allow agility through digital transformation. Hence, they need a device management tool that’s flexible, simple and extensible enough to complement such business strategies.
In this session Prabath will discuss the modern needs of enterprise mobility management that move beyond traditional mobile device management (MDM). He will also share his views and experiences of how enterprise mobility management can be made a part of your connected business ecosystem by having the right tool for the right task.

Identifying Bottlenecks in Mobile Cloud Computing (MCC)Dr. Ranbijay Kumar
Client side performance is important in today’s world because of the gaining popularity of rich internet applications and the growth in the mobile applications market. The customers are also looking for high responsiveness for any client based applications. More of us use our mobile phones as our mini-computers that travel with us and keep us connected 24/7, and that number will surely continue to grow. Mobile applications developers increasingly turn around to cloud computing to circumvent the major challenges that face them.
Integrating Mobile Technology in the Construction IndustryAppear
Mobile technology has tremendous potential to transform the way civil engineering and construction is delivered – throughout the lifecycle from planning through execution to decommissioning. This webinar illustrates how the EU MobiCloud project is helping to deliver on this potential using a novel IT infrastructure for developing and managing construction orientated mobile applications
In the past few years, advances in mobile technology have made a clear impact on the consumer market. The constantly growing set of platforms, devices, and mobile apps is evidence on that. This wave is now rippling
into the enterprise, but major challenges face the adoption of enterprise mobile apps. These challenges are compounded by the growing adoption of cloud-based infrastructure. This talk surveys current trends in enterprise
mobility with a focus on cloud-based mobile application development.
Your Challenge:
- With the complexity of mobility increasing in most organizations, enterprise mobility management (EMM) is becoming necessary to manage devices, as well as all aspects of mobility.
- While EMM might seem simple from the outside, it has many moving parts. It covers devices, applications, data, security, policies, financial management, and help desk management.
- Without a detailed implementation plan to mitigate issues such as missing components, an unprepared IT department and help desk, and low end-user adoption, IT will find it difficult to ensure a successful launch.
Our Advice:
Critical Insight
- Mobility within organizations continues to grow more complex, and requirements for managing mobility now extend far beyond the device itself.
- As BYOD continues to grow and new products are released into the market, EMM will become a necessary tool for long-term sustainability and effective use of mobility.
- Without a proper implementation plan in place, organizations will find it difficult to achieve a suitable, unified solution for short and long-term sustainability of mobile management.
Impact and Result
- Prepare the organization for mobility by developing an implementation plan that covers EMM from start to finish, including selecting a vendor, managing help desk changes, engaging users, and developing an actionable timeline.
- Create a tailored solution for the unique needs of your organization.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms.
