Mobile-Enabling Your Workforce with Applications You Already Have Is your IT organization supporting your current enterprise applications on employees’ mobile devices? If not, you might be missing a chance to fully participate in one of the biggest technology shifts since the proliferation of the desktop PC. In fact, ignoring this trend means lagging behind competitors who are already mobile. It could also mean losing control over the ways employees use corporate information. But one of the most important reasons to jump on board is the potential for tremendous productivity gains.

Plan Well, Act FastMany companies are responding to the relent-less advance of mobile computing by devising a strategic roadmap to accommodate the new technology. And while that planning is a good step, this is the right time for action.

Because most employees are deeply commit-ted to their tablets or smart phones, you need to help them work as efficiently as possible in this realm. But don’t assume you must build new mobile-specific applications; users really just want to interact with their existing (i.e., proven and dependable) applications, via the devices they know and love.

Mobilize With VerastreamThe challenge for IT is to find a fast way to make established enterprise applications adequately meet the demands of this new work model. Complicating that challenge is the set of cri tical mainframe or legacy host-based appli cations, with their long-standing obstacles to in tegration.

The good news is that Micro Focus® Verastream® solutions can unlock those legacy assets and make them seamlessly accessible to your mo-bile audience. An advanced technology tool and mobile-enablement platform, Verastream can quickly package your applications and data into any needed format for any device.

How Does Verastream Do It?Verastream can mobile-enable applications us-ing any of the following methods:

1. Choose an enterprise host application and let Verastream auto-generate a new UI that renders on any HTML5-compatible device. With this approach you can let workers use tablets or smart phones to access exactly what they are used to seeing on their desktops. And you can do it now, without the need for any application development.

2. Create custom mobile-enabled HTML5 front ends as needed. This approach provides the control to create a whole

new application UI and even modify the associated workflow. Or you can isolate specific areas within the application for your new, customized UI and then let Verastream auto-generate the rest of the application. With this capability, you can selectively target only the work you need for the project at hand.

3. Build SOA-style services directly out of your host-based applications. This capa bility means that you can create entirely new mobile applications from the enterprise assets you currently have running. And you can do it without the need to modify your current stock of enterprise apps. This ap-proach is quick and low-risk, while giving you full control over every aspect of the mobile application.

Regardless of the mobile-enablement method you use, Verastream protects the integrity of your enterprise applications as they continue to perform their everyday business operations.

Verastream provides a no-code avenue for fast native access to host systems.

With Verastream you can leverage the full set of HTML5 capabilities, taking control over look

and feel as well as application workflow.
