Position your team for maximum success in mobile and web
Consider this:
Factoring in the proliferation over the next decade, the mobile ecosystem is under constant evolution. The needs of an enterprise can range from an overall mobility strategy, mobile development, mobile application management (MAM), mobile device management (MDM), mobile quality, mobile optimization all the way to incorporating mobile backend-as-a-service (MBaaS) to their enterprise. The first step is to identify your organization’s goals and needs, and then consider your solution alternatives. To better understand your enterprise’s potential mobility needs, read on!
The Need for a Quantum Leap
Enterprises need to approach mobility just as strategically as any other key technology service and develop specific goals, milestones and plans accordingly. In addition, they also need to understand the unique requirements of mobile:

With our extensive experience across different industries and use cases, proven best practices, and robust services and tools, we cover the entire spectrum of your mobile lifecycle – starting from requirements gathering, design and development to rigorous testing, monitoring, maintenance and optimization.
Your mobile brand is becoming increasingly strategic to your business and it needs to be high quality, fully secure and provide a top-notch user experience. The underlying architecture needs to scale quickly for faster time to market and support an omni-channel customer and employee experience. It needs to be able to go global with local language translations and compliance measures. It needs to evolve and mature just like any other enterprise brand.
In any enterprise and one any device, there are multiple applications to manage. This begins with analyzing the usage of applications – revenue, trend and logs. It also includes managing applications for quality, performance and security, deployment of applications in the app store, provisioning and updates.
This is a specialized discipline because of the large amount of sensitive data that needs to be managed between the mobile device and the corporate servers. This data needs to be decrypted and encrypted based on the various roles and responsibilities.
There is a great deal of mobile content that needs to be distributed and shared across devices – that’s where CMS comes into play. From mobile commerce and rich internet content to social media video and audio streaming, all information needs to be parsed before dissemination.
Take infrastructure as a service (IaaS) and extend it to mobile. The mobile client, server and backend all need to be managed. This includes all storage, network, servers, virtual layers and OS for the application.
Every application has a lifecycle. It starts with design, requirement building and prototyping, then goes through development, testing and optimization post-launch.
BYOD is big. Survey data shows that many enterprises are now providing workers with devices and covering the costs related to them. In addition, more than half of the workforce brings their own devices to work. All these devices need to be managed and monitored in compliance with legacy IT regulations.
Typical MDM activities include: enrolling devices; instantly setting up common configurations such as Exchange, WiFi and VPN; tracking inventory and device types; provisioning and enforcing security policies and managing all devices across a single interface.
