Assumptions About You, Our Guest
1. Use Cases are Flooding In
2. Might have a Customer Facing App Strategy
3.Discussing “Consumer Mobile Devices”
4. Working on IT Readiness (bit.ly/ITready)

6.Discussing B2E, B2E2C, and some B2C
Experiences are increasing usage and
expectations
#mobilestrategy
Source Yankee Group, 2011 and 2012
2012 was the year of planning and budgeting for mobile
2013 is the year of action
Transition from B2C to B2E
Drivers are beyond “BYOD”
Beyond Cost Savings
Organizations are beginning to identify how mobile can impact their core metrics
Point of View – The Law of Three
#mobilestrategy
However, thisis not easy
Disparate data, complex
processes
Lack of UX knowledge
Mobile doesn’t fit traditional IT
funding
Lack of a culture of innovation
Q:How Do You Begin to Build Great Enterprise Mobile Apps?
#1. Understand There is No Gold
Standard
#mobilestrategy
Building a Mobile Gold Standard
17
Enterprise Applications drive “process best practice” – similar usage of ERP, CRM, BI
Competitive Analysis is a data point
Mobile devices providing information – the “5 W’s”
Inflection point within organizations – simplify
Tremendous opportunity to innovate
#mobilestrategy 18
Define your App through one Enterprise metric
Top/bottom line, speed, experience
Start with “time” as a metric
Define your end userBuild mobile Apps for the “5 W’s”
“System access” is not a driver
Augment the environment
Building a Mobile Gold Standard
#mobilestrategy 19
Mortgage/Lending, large source of revenue
Reduction of cycle time forapprovals
Inconsistent process drove errors
Customer responsibilities a challenge to close
App plan that outlined streamlined process and on-the-spot information/document gathering
Building a Mobile Gold Standard
#2. Build to the 80%
#mobilestrategy
Build to the 80%
21
Internal and Customer Facing Processes Follow 80/20 Rule
Begin Your App Concept with 1 or 2 Scenarios
Solve 1 Problem, then Iterate
Tremendous Opportunity to Simplify (or Remove) Commonly Performed Tasks
#mobilestrategy
Build to the 80%
22
Business team began to look for simple tasks to remove
Significant time using systems to perform cross-lookups on PCs
App built in 2 weeks gives back ~3 hours / week of time per user
Success is driving future scope, not perception of value
#3. Use Visualizationas a Weapon
#mobilestrategy
Use Visualization as a Weapon
24
To invoke change
Begin respecting users’ time & tasks
Force scope decisions
Question what is commonplace To fail cheaply
#mobilestrategy
Use Visualization as a Weapon

#mobilestrategy
Use Visualization as a Weapon
26
21 step process – every time
All required - had to ensure all customers requests were handled
Metrics to understand customer profiles
Difficult decision to not serve every customer
#4. Build For Readiness
#mobilestrategy
Build For Readiness
28
This never happens:
Readiness requirements are small vs. Enterprise IT engagements
Build for data readiness, cultural fit, process improvement
Build for 1 metric and iterate
#mobilestrategy
Build For Readiness
29
However, IT Readiness is critical:
Begin creating reusable components
Define infrastructure requirements
Security is imperative
Support of end users
More at bit.ly/ITready
#5. Initially, Deliver Outside of IT
Processes(but not IT)
#mobilestrategy
Deliver Within IT and Outside of IT Processes
31
IT has to be a participant or leader in the process
Avoid heavy waterfall, milestone requirements, PMO oversight, project funding, infrastructure needs
Use App delivery as a way to start making IT processes more mobile friendly
External developers may be required, if possible involve internal UX, architecture, data services
Build a release for <$50k in under 4 weeksand iterate
5 Tips to Get Started
1. Understand There is No Gold Standard
2. Build for the 80%
3.Use Visualization as a Weapon
4. Build for Readiness
5.Initially, Deliver Outside of IT Processes
