IBM Mobile Technical Overview


Reactive security

Rigid infrastructure to

Structured data to

Millions of PCs to billions of mobile devices

massive amounts of unstructured data

Intelligent, proactive protection

an elastic cloud infrastructure

Single transactions to personalized engagement

Static applications to dynamic services

However, you must mobile enable your business because we are in a newComputing Era……


Why is Mobile so Challenging?


Controlling the growing portfolio of applications deployed “in the wild”

Connecting the enterprise back-end services in a secure and scalable manner

Creating rich, yet cost-effective mobile apps in a fragmented technological landscape.

Delivering high quality mobile apps while supporting compressed release cycles.

Integrating mobile app development into existing development/build approaches

Mobile Apps Present Significant Challenges for the Modern Enterprise


There are a lot of application component choices to make…

• Module systems/Loaders: RequireJS/AMD, Dojo/AMD, CommonJS, ExtJS define, Flight/AMD, YUI.use()

• Package manager: Bower, Dojo Packages, CPM, Volo, yeoman• Build systems: r.js(requirejs), dojo build, Component, ClosureBuilder, Shifter, grunt• Templates: AngularJS, Hogan.js, Mustache.js, Handlebars, Dijit templates,

UnderscoreJS, Lo-Dash, Y.Template.Micro• Data Binding: Reactive, Rivets, Knockout, Backbone, AngularJS, Flight, Dojo

Observable• Routing: dojo/router, Backbone• App Controllers: dojox/app (+ISSW), Backbone, AuraJS• Sync: component/model, AngularJS services, Dojo Object Store, YUI, Backbone

Sync• Widgets: Closure Library, Dijit, Dojo mobile, jQuery/jQuery Mobile, etc.etc.,

Bootstrap (jQuery), YUI, Sencha, EXTJS

• Test frameworks: test/assert, Mocha, DOH, QUnit, YUI Test

• Dynamic CSS compilers/interpreters: SASS, Less.js, Stylus

• Responsive Layout Scaffolding: Bootstrap, Unsemant

• Device Access: Cordova• Interactive Graphics: Dojo GFX, RaphaelJS, SVGJS• Visualization: Dojo Charting/Gauges Diagrammer,

D3• Plus a combination of many hand-picked open

source widgets that are jQuery plugins for popovers, calendars, charts, etc.


Smaller screens pulling content from more sources: need to choreograph content from multiple repositories and applications , both on premises and in the cloud

Greater challenges of application governance, distribution, and version management

AppStore Terms of Service present challenges for managing B2C apps

Development is different.Mobile apps are different.

They are more strategic – Greater urgency and immediacy of engagement

They are context-aware – sensor richness provide invaluable context

They run on unstable networks–interruption is the norm, not the exception

Smaller footprint – More challenging to make compelling and easy to use

Always on – An opportunity to deliver greater value since always within arms’ reach

Management is different.

Security is different.

Extremely short development cycles

More devices to support, each with its own set of capabilities, OS and UI behaviors

More development approaches to choose from – Web, HTML, Native or a mix

More third-party and open-source tools, frameworks and libraries to choose from

Greater risks of exposing applications and data on small, light and always on portable devices

Greater authentication challenges associated with content mashups

AppStore Terms of Service can limit security options

Mobile App Development is Challenging…….Because it is very different
