Mobility has changed business forever. It has increased the types of devices like phones, tablets, wearables and the volume of devices that connect to a company's enterprise resources. There are over 6 billion mobile phone subscribers globally and the rapidly expanding Internet of Things (IoT) market promises to connect tens of billions of devices to the Internet within several years. These mobile and IoT devices have new operating systems that change how we build software and services. These technology shifts also provide a tremendous opportunity to change how every company will engage and transact business with its customers, employees and partners.
To benefit from these new technologies, corporate data and services must be accessible across smart phones to wearables. Businesses are taking action. Leading companies in the mobile cloud era will create business and technical strategies where:
Ø Flexible platforms enable scalable mobile application development.
Ø Data should be secured across devices, networks and clouds.
Ø Mobile applications move from pretty to transactional.
Ø Mobile apps become a collection of data that represents an entire workflow.
Ø The focus shifts from app downloads to continuous improvement and engagement.
Ø IT leverages the cloud for rich functionality and scale.
The good news is that all of the technology a company needs to mobile-enable a business is available as a set of modular platform capabilities that can be deployed on-premises or in the cloud. In fact, a company can use a combination of cloud and on-premise software to mobile-enable apps and services. With technology solutions readily available, companies can focus on the critical process of defining the workflows that need to be mobile-enabled.
