MOBILE BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE
» Introducing Business Intelligence to the Mobile Landscape
• Distributing business data to various mobile devices
• Showing significant growth in the recent history, coupled with the
high adoption rates of smart phones and tablets as well as
wireless communications.
» Different Methods of Rendering Data on Mobile Devices2
• Browser Rendered App – Enables access to the data as viewing
through a desktop would, little interactivity
• Client Application – Enable the most interaction with the data.
Allows for native interaction through the mobile device and
oftentimes the ability to cache data for offline use.
