DESCRIPTION
In this session Kent will take a real world business scenario from the Power Generation industry. The scenario involves real time data collection, power generation commitments made to market stakeholders and current energy prices. A Power Generation company needs to monitor all of these data points to ensure it is maintaining its commitments to the marketplace. When things do not go as planned, there are often significant penalties at stake. Having real time visibility into these business measures and being notified when the business becomes non-compliant becomes extremely important. Learn how Windows Azure and many of its building blocks (Azure Service Bus, Azure Mobile Services) and BizTalk Server 2013 can address these requirements and provide Operations people with real time visibility into the state of their business processes.

Agenda• Why are we talking about Mobility here?• Introducing Windows Azure Mobile Services• How does BizTalk participate in Enterprise Mobility Architectures?• Demo• Summary
…but first
Why are we talking about Mobility here?Every CIO has mobility “on their list”
• What is important to my boss is important to meEnterprise Mobility brings some unique challenges: • Diverse Eco-Systems• Android, Apple, Windows Phone, Windows Store apps
• Skillset fragmentation• Node.js, Angular.js, HTML5 vs XML, XSD, Xlang, WF
• Authentication• Can’t use Facebook credentials to submit timesheet
• Network boundaries• Can’t put everything in the DMZ
• Legacy• Flat files, XML• JSON
• Point to Point is evil!!!• More education is required
For many Mobile Developers Integration is this confusing
How do we bridge the gap?

Demo Scenario• Deregulated Power Generation company• Power Generator Commitment includes:• Declared: Potential amount of Power available• Dispatched: Actual amount of Power that is being generated
• Some small variance is expected• When a generator doesn’t meet their commitment there are penalties $$$• Over generating is just as bad as under-generating• Not a replacement for a BI or SCADA solution
