When Elephants Dance - Enterprise goes MobileAbhay Aggarwal
The consumer is spoilt for choice. Most of the buzz is around apps that individuals consume. Why? Because apps are sexy, provide unique experiences. Consumer discover new things to do, or new ways of doing existing things. Many are now billion $ brands with global recognition. Take Facebook, which has seen meteoric growth since it embraced mobile.
But there is another market, which frequently gets overlooked. This market is:
- Not sexy
- Not looking for unique experiences
- Has its own unique set of challenges.
But this market has 1 unique characteristic: It has in-built buyers.
Who am I talking about? The employees!
The global workforce is 3 Billion. The white collar workers are tech savvy, well educated, already using consumer level apps on their own mobile devices.
How does this make them a captive audience? The magic word: Apps for the Enterprise.
Reality Check: Nearly 3/4th of the enterprises have built less than 5 apps, of which 40% is at 0-1 app only for their employees.
According to Gartner, by 2017, 25% of all enterprises will have app stores. Companies will invest in HTML5/Hybrid apps to fulfill demand from employees for apps.
Why should developers go for it? The market is growing. A Nasscom report says the Enterprise Mobility market is expected to be worth $140 Billion by 2020.
What about enterprises?
- People bring own devices, clamor for support from companies
- IT no longer controls budget, biz units are recognizing a need for such initiatives and building their own apps
- Biz units bypass corporate guidelines in order to access data faster & collaborate more effectively
Unfortunately businesses fail at building effective apps.Most apps are the result of squeezing a web app onto a mobile device.
Companies need to focus on 5% principle. A mobile app will have only 5% features of the web app, but features that drive the most value.
How to become Mobile First? Use Business Architecture approach
1. Identify your stakeholders
2. Map your current & potential modes of engagements with stakeholders
3. Evaluate the engagements vis-a-vis business strategy
4. Identify capabilities required to support these engagements
5. Cost/benefit analysis of building new engagements
Mobile Maturity Lifecycle:
- Opportunistic: No central mobile strategy, one off mobile projects
- Strategic: Strategy varies by business unit, development tools & resources in place, but not optimized for scale
- Mobile First: Central strategy tied to business metrics, IT governance balanced with business data needs, scalable development methodology
Key Challenges to Mobility: Supporting employee devices, managing security, configuring new & legacy systems, go native/hybrid, managing pvt app stores
BaaS - An alternative to mobile middleware. Complexity of building a backend can be time consuming & expensive.
By de-cluttering the backend of app development, developers can focus on the user experience and the app itself.

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.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

A man on a road
250-300 days a year, because selling never stops.
Carrying a battered suitcase,
filled with samples, brochures
contracts
pictures of his kids & the wife…
- Day after day, meeting people, pitching his stuff.
Why are we talking about him here? This is a mobile conference!
I'm not talking about the fact that smartphone sales are in billions.
Nor am I talking that Samsung now sells more smartphones than Apple.
- Calling it a smartphone doesn't do justice to the reality.
- Phone Dialing just happens to one of the primary features it provides.
- Its a true blue "PC" - personal computing device.
- In your pocket, available 24/7, specifically designed for your personal needs.
With so many mobile devices, apps take centrestage.
At 10 Million Apps, Apple App Store is a digital Walmart!
Same with Google Market.
- Consumer is spoilt for choice
- Most of the buzz has been around apps that you, as individuals, consume. Why is that?
Apps are sexy,
Provide unique experiences
Consumer discover new things to do, or new ways of doing existing things
Apps get talked about in media.
- Many have become million dollar brands with global recognition.
Look at Facebook, which has seen meteoric growth since it embraced mobile.
We’re in it for the money.
A way to make money of the ideas we have.
Entry costs are "low" (more on this later)
No need for a company, just open a dev account, build your idea into a product, and make money from sales or in-app purchases.
Since 2008, Apple has paid out $9 billion dollars to app developers.
70/30 revenue sharing model is extremely profitable.
That’s the theory.
- Thrill of seeing something you created being used by thousands or millions of users worldwide.
Dude, that's my stuff out there!
- Top 1% of all developers account for over 36% of revenue.
- The next 19% account for 61% of revenue
- The remaining 80%? A whopping 3%!
Suddenly, that $9 billion revenue doesn’t look very tempting.
But there is another market, which frequently gets overlooked.
Not sexy,
Not looking for unique experiences,
Has its own unique set of challenges.
But this market has 1 unique characteristic: It has in-built buyers.
Who am I talking about? The employees, or course!
The global workforce is 3 Billion.
The white collar workers are
tech savvy group of people,
well educated,
probably already using consumer level apps on their own mobile devices.
How does this make them a captive audience?
The magic phrase: Apps for the Enterprise.
This is nothing new. The App Store has always supported enterprise level deployments since, well, the App Store was thrown open for devs 5 years back.
Why am I talking about it today?
Appcelerator survey:
nearly 3/4th of the enterprises have built less than 5 apps, of which 40% is at 0-1 app only.
85% of the same respondents believe that mobile developments will exceed desktop developments next year.
Gartner: By 2017, 25% of all enterprises will have app stores
Companies will invest in HTML5/Hybrid apps to fulfill demand from employees for apps.
A Past look:
Blackberry elites - A company supplied phone was a symbol of having arrived in the corporate world,
Now, companies being pressured by employees to support their personal devices at the workplace.
Situation has been entirely reversed.
Market is growing.
A Nasscom report says the Enterprise Mobility market is expected to be worth $140 Billion by 2020.
An Appcelerator study shows:
B2C interest is falling,
B2E increasing proportionately.
Findings of the past 3 years.
What about enterprises?
Evolving situation
Early adopters focused on mobile device management (I'm looking at Blackberry here) & email apps.
- Now entire business processes are being re-imagined from a mobile centric standpoint, giving birth to what is known as the "mobile first enterprise".
People are bringing their own devices, and are clamoring for support from companies.
IT no longer controls budget,
Business units are recognizing a need for such initiatives and building their own apps.
BU is bypassing corporate guidelines in order to access data faster & collaborate more effectively.
Not a quick solution.
Transformation is a long term process.
Enterprises often forget to ask about what to do.
Instead, they get distracted by the question of how to do it...
Enterprise Apps in mobile devices have a tremendous advantage.
Smart agents can help your employees address a problem or seize an opportunity - provided they have been designed & deployed correctly.
Unfortunately, that is not the case.
- Most apps are the result of squeezing a web app onto a mobile device.
Focus on 5% principle. A mobile app will have only 5% features of the web app, but it will be features that drive the most value.
Delivering an app with laser focused functionality requires
Clear understanding of the business objectives
Needs of your internal & external users.
Use a business architecture approach.
1. Identify your stakeholders
2. Map your current & potential modes of engagements with stakeholders
3. Evaluate the engagements vis-a-vis business strategy
4. Identify capabilities required to support these engagements
5. Cost/benefit analysis of building new engagements
Every company will go through these phases no matter what size, or disposition:
- Opportunistic Mobility: No central mobile strategy, one off mobile projects
- Strategic Mobility: Strategy varies by business unit, development tools & resources in place, but not optimized for scale
- Mobile First: Central strategy tied to business metrics, IT governance balanced with business data needs, scalable development methodology

What are the challenges for building enterprise mobile apps?
What are the challenges for building enterprise mobile apps?
BYOD – Ironical, bcoz BYOD is kicking off initial projects in companies. Leveraging the fact that people already own a mobile device. However, segmentation is a big issue. Also, having a policy on BYOD is important.
2. Security - Different organizations have different authentication mechanisms.
3. Backend Services - Configuration, Logging, Storage
4. Existing infrastructure & Legacy systems
5. Additional Infrastructure - Push notifications, Message Queuing, SMS, Email
6. How to build - Native or Hybrid?
7. Managing the Enterprise App Store
- Emergence of cross platform mobile application platforms (MADPS)
- Emergence of third party backend systems - BaaS
An approach for web & mobile frontend devs to connect apps to a backend (cloud storage).
- Cloud based data storage
- REST based CRUD operations on data
- Optimized data transfers (JSON, XML)
- User management to authenticate access to data
- Communication: SMS, Email, Chat, Push notifications
- Social integration
- Geo location
- Analytics to determine performance & usage
It is an alternative to mobile middleware.
Complexity of building a backend that services multiple frontends can be time consuming.
Also expensive.
Cloud development effort can be upto 3/4 of total app development investment.
You are building an app for consumers, but most of the effort goes into something they won't ever see.
BaaS make app development easier by allowing devs to focus on creating new experiences, while taking care of the generic part of the development process.
Business is war. Your road warriors need the right weapons to win the battle.
