B2C Use Cases of Enterprise Mobile Solutions

A financial services company is using geo-location awareness technologies once travelers arrive at their destination city to provide specific suggestions and coupons for shopping, restaurants, etc. based on the company’s knowledge of a traveler’s preferences. The coupon or discount is automatically applied when the traveler swipes his card in payment, and a text message arrives on the mobile device confirming the amount saved on the purchase.

Mobile and Cloud
Private Mobile Clouds to begin with…
“Yes, there will be a mobile cloud where our catalogue of services will be made available to our employees. This is a store-like environment which needs to have cloud discipline to provide the services efficiently and scalability across mobile and all other modes of access. This will be a private cloud until public becomes secure and reliable. The first step is private and once the public cloud is proven in a couple of years, we will move there.”, CIO, logistics company

• Isolating Personal and corporate data• Backing up personal and corporate data
to cloud• Location awareness• Device and platform sprawl
• Knowledge & maturity of Mobile Management Technologies (MDM) & Mobile Enterprise Application Platforms (MEAP)
Market Fragmentation, evolving standards, Native vs. HTML5 debate
16
“The jury is still out on how deep we want to customize on those three platforms [Apple, Android, Windows]. The experience is tied closely to the capabilities of the device. If we generalize that to a common denominator across the platforms, will users tolerate if it’s not similar to their experience in their personal lives? The standards haven’t emerged yet to where we can bet on this. Back in the old days, enterprises used to drive standards. Now it’s the consumerization of the enterprise, and we’re trying to mimic what’s going in the industry.” - CIO, logistics company
Currently in the marketare five mobile devicesrunning on iOS and morethan 170 running on theAndroid system.
The consensus opinion of our study participants was that HTML5 is not yet ready for prime time and could be many years away from providing the same rich user experience as native apps
Implications for Vendors
• Mobility is on the top of CIO agendas. Enabling application delivery and governance is key.
• SaaS vendors have an advantage as HTML5 matures• A massive opportunity exists for light-weight apps for the
“middle-market”• MDM and MEAP vendors need to do better job of
educating customers• Touch screen interfaces will become more pervasive—
vendors should evolve their applications quickly
