Platform and Native Feature Support
Define your targeted mobile platforms
Define native mobile functionalities to leverage and howHardware, Services, User Interface forms
How to catch up with new platform capabilities?
How to manage platform’s different capabilities and technologies?
11
Platform and Native Feature Support
Advantages Disadvantages
Native access (via OS SDKs)
Richness, security, performance
Low-level, not reusable for multi-platform
High-level, multi-platform native APIs
Multi-platform, time-to-market, richness, performance
Common denominator
Native wrapper (phonegap)
Web/Javascript access, off-the-shelf components
Lower performance, lower quality, lack of richness

Development Strategy and Tools
Different tools and languages
Impact of productivity, quality and cost
Agility, reusability, functionalities
Native Development Process for Native Apps
Client-side(one dev per platform)
Server-side(a few devs)
Integration(point-to-point)1. 2. 3.
+ Server communication, authentication,…
AJAX, PHP, Ruby, …
+ Business logic, session mgt, device mgt, security…
Test, deploy, maintain4.
Web Development Process for Web/Hybrid
Client-side(cross-platform)

User Interface
Requires mobile UI and design expertise …
3 phases:
Requirements per screen
Wireframing/mockups
UI design
Need a good UI, not the most fancy one
19
Security
Enterprise systems
Mobile devices
Secure Enterprise Access (SSL)
Mobile Application Manager (MAM/App Store solution)
Device Security Manager (MDM solution)
Internet Connection
Device/Application Control (Trusted configuration and device/app provisioning)
Secure Enterprise Access (SSL)
Data Encryption
Device Access Control(Identification/Authentication, wipe out..)
\
Deployment and Monitoring
Decide on distribute channels: OTA, Web, USB/SD card, etc.
Update management policy, versioning
Capture app usage to improve user experience
Solutions/technologies
Private App stores / MDM
Instant update management
Monitoring console, analytics

Project Implementation
Considerations:• Shortage and expensive
development skills• Immature, high
development tool/platform fragmentation
From Scratch? Extension of existing app or via 3rd party?
Conclusions
