Presentation Notes

Now we would like to show you how a typical mobile customer architecture looks like. Usually a mobile customer architecture consists of two different stages: The Runtime environment and the Designtime environment. The strengths of our mobile suite lies within the design-time environment. With the development tool Mobile Designer, developers can generate applications that run cross-platform, which means these are applications which are not designed for one specific application but for many at the same time. This development place in an Ecplise environment with Java. For a mature Java developer (who is new to mobile) it will be pretty easy to get into mobile development in this familiar environment. One problem in developing mobile apps is usually to build apps for multiple mobile platforms (like iOS, Windows Phone, Android etc). This is a problem because building an app for iOS for example, the developer needs an apple hardware. Not everyone has apple iphone at hand. Therefore developers can use Mobile Administrator, which helps with its “Mobile Build + Test Management” component to build applications for a specific platform. This means, the developer can tell Mobile Administrator to build a new version of the application for the following platforms: iOS; Android, Win, BES. Mobile Administrator then consults its build nodes. A Build Node is a machine that can build an application for a specific platform. So there can be an apple machine that can build an IOS application or a PC that can build for win / android. As these build notes are known to Mobile Administrator, Mobile Administrator exactly know which build node to ask for building the app for the needed target- platform. Mobile Administrator Build Node generates the build and sends the results back to Mobile Administrator. From here, the build application can be deployed to the mobile devices, which is then done via the mobile application management. Mobile Application Management manages all apps that are available in my company. As Mobile Administrator also knows all mobile devices via Mobile Device Management, the overall mobile lifecycle of design, build, deploy and test can be handles with Mobile Administrator’s design time component. In the runtime environment all managed mobile devices are accessible. The cross-compiled application runs on the mobile device, including its different versions. The runtime environment secures Mobile Access Management, together with mobile gateways, the runtime environment makes sure that accessing backend systems runs securely. Of course we recommend to access to use our enterprise service bus (ESB) to receive a clear governance which application and which device get granted access to my systems and devices,
