Mobile application development is a top priority for businesses
35% of developers are currently
29% of mobile developers currently
targeting tablets, with more than
90% plan to develop for tablets
in the near future.
focus on Hybrid app development
with another 49% expected to
focus on it in the next year.
Nearly 90% of developers
are currently extending
enterprise apps to mobile
or plan to in the near future.
More than 100M people
upgraded to iOS6 in the first
week (September, 2012)
In the next 12 months
77% of developers will
be focused on Hybrid
application development.
25+ Almost all expect
to deploy more than 25 mobility
applications in the next two years

Mobile is primary
91% of mobile users keep their device within arm’s reach 100% of the time
Insights from mobile data provide new opportunities
75% of mobile shoppers take action after receiving a location based message
Mobile is about transacting
96% year to year increase in mobile cyber Monday sales between 2012 and 2011
Mobile must create a continuous brand experience
90% of users use multiple screens as channels come together to create integrated
experiences
Mobile enables the Internet of Things
Global Machine-to-machine connections will increase from 2 billion in 2011 to 18
billion at the end of 2022
Mobile is a significant evolution of enterprise computing
Mobile/Wireless/Cloud
Web/Desktop

Host/Mainframe
Mobile is different:
• Transformational business models
Agile
• Faster lifecycles
• More iterative
• Requires open standards
Mobile is a significant evolution of enterprise computing
Mobile apps are different.
• They are more strategic – Greater urgency
urgency and immediacy of engagement
• They are context-aware –know where you are and
what you are doing
• They run on unstable networks–interruption is
the norm, not the exception
• Smaller footprint – More challenging to make
compelling and easy to use
• Always on – An opportunity to deliver greater value
Management is different.
• Smaller screens pulling content from more
sources: need to choreograph content from
multiple repositories and applications , both on
premises and in the cloud
• Greater challenges of application governance,
distribution, and version management
• AppStore Terms of Service present challenges
for managing B2C apps
Development is different.
• Faster development cycles
• More devices to support, each with its own set of
capabilities, OS and UI behaviors
• More development approaches to choose from
– Web, HTML, Native
• More third-party and open-source tools,
frameworks and libraries to choose from
Security is different.
• Greater risks of exposing applications and data on
small, light and always on portable devices
• Greater authentication challenges associated
with content mashups
• AppStore Terms of Service can limit security
options
But also brings business and IT challenges
Enterprise Business Model Changes
• New business opportunities based upon geo location
• Anytime, anywhere business transactions
• Importance of social business interactions
App Development Lifecycle Complexity
• Built for purpose, fast, “good enough”, strong
involvement of users/stakeholders
• Complexity of multiple device platforms with
fragmented Web, native, and hybrid model landscape
• Connecting the enterprise back-end services in a
secure and scalable manner
• Unique mobile requirements (user interface,
connected/disconnected use, version upgrades, etc.)
Mobile Security and Management
• Protection of privacy and confidential information
Top Mobile Adoption Concerns:
1. Security/privacy (53%)
2. Cost of developing for multiple
mobile platforms (52%)
3. Integrating cloud services to mobile
devices (51%)
• Use of client-owned smartphones and tablets
• Visibility, Security & Management of mobile platform
requirements

Cloud Integration via Cast Iron
Pattern – Enterprise Service Bus, elastic cloud
Purpose: “elastic client” apps integrate with location transparency - on premise or in
“elastic” public or private clouds
Product mapping: The Cast Iron adapter provides OOTB integration with all cloudbased, hardware appliance or hypervisor editions of IBM WebSphere Cast Iron.
Roles and tools: Integration developers build integration flows in WebSphere Cast Iron
Studio, with orchestrations mad up of a number of configurable activities
Worklight Cast Iron Adapter
Enterprise Integration via Message Broker
Pattern – Enterprise Service Bus, Pattern Based Engineering
Purpose: integrate applications using a variety of common patterns
Product mapping: WebSphere Message Broker provides OOTB pattern integration
toolkit for rapid application development.
Roles and tools: Integration developers instantiates integration patterns in WMB Studio.
It generates adapters, and integration flows made up of a number of configurable nodes
Mobile Service Enablement Pattern
Easily mobile-enable a message broker service!
Creates a mobile-ready interface around a Message Broker service
– Services are a first class artifact in Message Broker alongside applications and libraries
– Builds an adapter to integrate Worklight and Message Broker services
– Inbound data from the mobile application is sent to Worklight as JSON/HTTP
– Makes it very simple to mobile enable a Message Broker service!
– The adapter passes the inbound request straight through to the service
– Pattern adds an HTTP/JSON message flow (binding) to the service project
24
Resource Oriented Architecture requires security
Create
–
POST /MyRESTService/ -- create a new item
Read
–
GET /MyRESTService/ -- list all items
–
GET /MyRESTService/count -- get number of items
–
GET /MyRESTService/# -- get item by #
Update
–
PUT /MyRESTService/# -- update an item by #
Delete
–
DELETE /MyRESTService/ -- delete all items
–
DELETE /MyRESTService/# -- delete item by #
Resource Handler Pattern
Resource oriented architecture is a well known implementation pattern
– Provides a common set of functions (CRUD – Create Read Update and Delete)
– This pattern provides an adapter which implements CRUD operations
– A Message Broker service is generated with subflows for each operation
– The service integrates security authorization and authentication (LDAP)
– Operations optionally integrate with the Message Broker Global Cache (WXS)
26
Extending Pub/Sub with Push Notification Services
Worklight supports asynchronous push notifications to mobile applications
– Push notifications have a measurable impact on the success of mobile applications
– There are many IT challenges in supporting push notifications (devices, delivery etc)
– Push notifications are applicable across many industry verticals
– Healthcare, retail, travel, transportation, government, insurance and more!
– All the major mobile platforms support push notification services
– Apple iOS 3+, Google Android 2.2+, RIM Blackberry 5+ and Windows Phone 7+
–Pending notifications are written to a WebSphere MQ queue by a
provider application
– Need to subscribe to the notifications and arrange delivery to the mobile notification
server
27
Worklight Push Notification from WebSphere MQ
Creates a push notification adapter from a WebSphere MQ queue
– Generates a web service implementation which is deployed to Message Broker
– Builds a Worklight integration adapter which polls for pending notifications
– Pending notifications are written to a WebSphere MQ queue by a provider application
– The adapter converts the notifications into JSON and arranges delivery to the device
28
Extending desktop social collaboration to mobile devices
A comprehensive suite of mobile solutions for
social business - with device-appropriate
interfaces for Smartphones and tablets including:
Apple®, Android, Research In Motion®
BlackBerry®, Nokia
