74% of developers are planning to extend enterprise apps to mobile devices in the next 12 months

New mobile platforms mean new savingsBusiness Savings Examples

Reduce branch operational costs. Bankrate.com

Reducing customer traffic at branches means fewer tellers and keeping fewer branches open. (FDIC $2M/branch) ($avings: new market invest.)

Reduce fleet costs 1) Smarter routes, less miles/fuel (33-50%)2) Hybrid engines, lower fuel costs (60%)

Government Benefits, Citizen Benefits

Increased Citizen Access to Public Information

Reduced Citizen and Worker Risk, Officer Safety

Increased Government Productivity

USDA Food Safety “Ask Karen”, a guide to expert knowledge on handling and storing food safely and preventing food poisoning. On your mobile phone access m.askkaren.gov

My TSA provides real-time airport conditions http://apps.tsa.dhs.gov/mytsa

FBI’s ATF and U.S. Marshals Service have a joint program to give their agents rapid access to all mission-critical data in any location using commercial mobile technology.

“We need more agencies to make their services available to an increasingly mobile nation.“



So how do we Deliver these mobile apps?Best Practices have evolved but still embrace “C-I-O”

Building a mobile IT application is more than just writing the code

Specific challenges in building mobile apps:

• Imperatives from line of business (programs) & customers (citizens)

• Fragmentation of technology and platforms

• Urgent time-to-market, rapid pace of innovation

How do you align business and development to deliver apps that delight users?

How do you gain control of your development process and accelerate time to delivery?

How do you coordinate changes across mobile and enterprise teams?

Singapore Land Transport Authority

– Integrated mobile fare payments reduced costs

Sprint Nextel

– Cut review times by 50%

– Saved $10,000 in project costs

Edelia, France

– Fewer personnel, lower operational costs, cheaper consumer rates with energy consumption monitoring and mobile management solution

IBM Events Team integrates iPhone, Android, Blackberry teams with web team for GrandSlam Events.



Mobile Device Implementations

Smartphones/Tablets

–Browser-based apps

• Smaller, but similar approach to building “traditional” web –data & app come from the SERVER

mobile.hertz.com vs www.hertz.com

–Hybrid “browser” apps

• browser + phone “smarts”i.e. camera, geolocation

–Native apps

• Apple store, Android Market, Blackberry AppWorld

HTML/JavaScript (running on WebSphere/OSS)

Multichannel portlets apps with RAD

HTML/JavaScript, Java (native services), running on Worklight/PhoneGap* (more on this later)

Apple iOS, C/Objective-C, Android/Blackberry: JavaIDE: Xcode, iOS SDK IDE: Eclipse*

Other Considerations: UI Specifics & Brief Tour



“Integrate” Best Practice is about process improvementMost CIOs want business process improvement – even with software delivery!

When you don't run every test case during a new

test cycle, new problems go undetected.

(You can’t assume that if it passes once, that it will always pass in the future.)

Without Regression Testing - Hidden Bugs can go undetected

Addressing mobile testing challenges using RQM, Green Hat & “DeviceClouds”

Middle Tier ServerClient Tier Devices Back-end Data & Services

Testing Challenges1. The number of different mobile devices

2. Middle tier and backend set up

3. Accessing physical devices/networks for testing

Solutions1. Use test-coverage optimization from RQM

2. Isolate the other tiers of the app using Green Hat and concentrate on the mobile device code

3. Rent the majority of your mobile test devices from the cloud using Rational and Business Partners, such as DeviceAnywhere



Collaborative Design ManagementEnhance cross-team collaboration on software and design standards (SOA, REST)

Central Design HubEnterprise-wide design storage for search, review,

analysis, and reuse

Links design elements to lifecycle artifacts

Navigate and visualize relationships

Stakeholder Collaboration

Automated design reviews at all stages of development

Intuitive extended team web client for broader access to designs

Document Generation and ReportingCreate documents directly from the development
