Here is a sneak peak of some of the pressing enterprise mobility challenges Anand is sharing his insights on:
User Focus and UX
Since the introduction of smartphones and tablets, the way we perform everyday personal and work activities has changed substantially. The consumerization of IT, or the influence of technology, which is designed first and foremost for consumers, has left employees expecting the same fluid and connected experience across private and enterprise applications. This is why user needs are now one at the center of mobility decisions.
Security
With so many mobile devices in the field, it is no surprise that enterprise IT departments relate BYOD policies with privacy concerns and company data leakage nightmares. The challenge in front of enterprise IT is how to keep up with constant device upgrades and at the same time provide for the secure management of all connected devices (IoT), enterprise applications, content, and data, using MDM (Mobile Device Management), MAM (Mobile Application Management), and MCM (Mobile Content Management) solutions.
Mobile Development & Deployment
Enterprises already have long backlogs with mobile apps waiting to be developed. CIOs are searching for ways to shorten development cycles with the help of high-productivity platforms, where little to no coding is needed. Nowadays, it is crucial to be able to innovate fast in order to stay competitive. This is where low-coding platforms, such as Infragistics’ mobile SharePoint platform come in handy in enabling enterprise innovation.
Another long-standing debate is where to deploy enterprise mobile apps – should enterprises trust external cloud providers, such as Amazon and Microsoft, or keep apps in-house? The cloud model is compelling with its benefits of flexibility and operational cost savings, but is it the right decision for every enterprise?
Big Data on the Go
Employees, LOB managers and executives need to access data and make critical decisions day-today no matter where they are. Mobile business intelligence solutions can deliver real-time business information to user devices exactly when they need it, online or offline. The possibility of always having the data you need, personalized to your way of work, and to even be able to collaborate on it with colleagues on the go, has empowered a shift in productivity we never imagined!
Mobile opportunities in front of enterprises are vast – the question is, how to decide which ones to pick? Watch Anand Raja’s webinar to learn the top 3 must-haves for a successful enterprise mobility solution here.
