Everyone talking about Enterprise Mobility so what is this? Enterprise Mobility defines access to data (enterprise), process and information anywhere, anytime, on demand and on any device. The future of Mobility has already derived.
By Peter Drucker, The Late Management Guru
Statistics
Let’s see what big analytics giants
say about this,
- All companies they work with expect to deploy more than 25 applications within the enterprise in next 2 years and providing mobile access to CRM, ERP to all its users. (Source: Mckinsey)
- Current Smartphone users across the globe: 1 billion (Source: IDC); percentage of Americans who use their personal mobile device for work: 81% (Source: Forbes)
- Increase in number of Smartphone users per year globally: 46.5% (Source: Gartner)
- Smart phones and tablets sold previous year: 821 million; projected sales of Smartphone’s and tablets in this year: 1.2 billion (Source: Gartner)
- Increase in employee productivity when using mobile apps: 45% (Source: IBM Research)
- Personal mobile devices expected to be in use by 2020: 10 billion (Source: Economist quoting Morgan Stanley)
What is happening
There is no doubt that mobility is transforming the enterprise. It is also disrupting the enterprise by creating new business models and destroying old ones. The problem is that many businesses are scrambling to create a mobile strategy; hamstrung by unrealistic expectations, vague requirements and organizational inertia.
Early adopters of enterprise mobility
are realizing significant business benefits and envisioning new and creative
ways to extend competitive advantage. Many organizations, however, are
employing a wait-and-see strategy to learn from the implementation experience
of others before developing mobility roadmaps.
Although there is high level of
complexity in development of Windows, iphone, Android meeting the platform
challenges from use cases to deployment, continuous up-gradation and providing security.
Mobile application development will outnumber any other application development
in next 5 years.
Everyone has a question in mind, do I have Enterprise Mobility Strategy for next 1-2 year to drive the market expectations and support the increased demand from customers using mobile devices (42% app.)
Are you ready?
Options you can go for
- Native Application.
- Hybrid Application.
- Browser based
Application.
We recommend
Hybrid Application as the Build Once Deploy Many trend is taking
space in market.
Frameworks which are available in market:
- PhoneGap is a mobile
development framework produced by Nitobi, purchased by Adobe Systems in 2011.It
enables software programmers to build applications for mobile devices using
JavaScript, HTML5, and CSS3, instead of device-specific languages such as
Objective-C. The resulting applications are hybrid, meaning that they are
neither truly native. The software
underlying PhoneGap is Apache Cordova. PhoneGap
is a free and open source framework that allows you to create mobile apps using
standardized web APIs for the platforms you care about.
- Oracle ADF Mobile (A Java & HTML5 Based Framework for Developing Mobile Applications) enables developers to build and extend enterprise applications for iOS and Android from a single code base. Based on a hybrid mobile architecture, ADF Mobile supports access to native device services, enables offline applications and protects enterprise investments from future technology shifts.
- Appcelerator Titanium – An open, extensible development environment for creating beautiful native apps across different mobile devices and OSs including iOS, Android, and BlackBerry, as well as hybrid and HTML5. It includes an open source SDK with over 5,000 device and mobile operating system APIs, Studio, a powerful Eclipse-based IDE, Alloy, an MVC framework and Cloud Services for a ready-to-use mobile backend.Titanium is the leading mobile development environment of choice for hundreds of thousands of developers. With more than 69,000 mobile applications deployed on 220,000,000 devices, the award-winning Titanium environment helps organizations get to market 60% faster and achieve a significant competitive advantage. In February 2013, Business Insider estimated that 10% of all smartphones worldwide ran Titanium-built apps.[34] As of 2013, Titanium had amassed nearly 500,000 developer registrations.
Path, which you
can set for
· Providing
security as the BYOA and BYOD is taking pace day by day. BYOA can be taken at
preference.
·
Mobile Social Networking.
·
Mobile Advertising.
·
Mobile Analytics.
Challenges we are facing
- Employees everywhere are using cloud services developed for consumers such as Dropbox, SkyDrive, Evernote, and iCloud to make their lives more efficient. The drawback is that many of these systems do not have enterprise-grade security: a big problem when dealing with confidential data on a daily basis.
- BYOD automatically calls for increased need for security, which is now, seems to be changing to BYOA employees are bringing their own applications to work more efficiently and be more productive.
- Trying to implement EM strategies by oneself calls for high capital investment and high risk of complete implementation failure. Therefore most enterprise choose to hire service specialist.
After looking at both the sides of this coin, We have a high expectations that enterprise mobility will emerge as a game changer in next few years and will definitely create tremendous amount of opportunities.
