The Situation:
Trends like BYOD, organizational demands for mobile applications, smarter commerce, and the emergence of new CMO and CISO agendas present an opportunity for IT leaders to drive mobile initiatives that lead to new sources of business value. These trends also present challenges for the IT organization as mobile environments are becoming more complex, difficult and costly to manage, and present new security challenges for the IT network, data, and applications. The proliferation of mobile devices and platforms – including multiple devices per employee, M2M technologies, lack of standardization, ever-increasing demands on the IT infrastructure as data traffic explodes, and the need to securely mobile-enable existing and future business processes while keeping mobile and wireless expenses under control and ensuring positive end user experience – are themes that are continuing to rise to the top of the IT organization’s agenda.
While the opportunities mobile presents are significant and mobile has become an enterprise requirement, there are a number of challenges clients face:
First, at a business level, the basic models are changing in the way the business interacts and transacts with customers, employees and partners. Full business transactions need to be enabled with low latency request/response characteristics 24x7 from anywhere in the world at anytime. Knowledge of location can be important and utilized as part of the interaction. Social business interactions add opportunities and complexity to the space.
Second, as we mentioned earlier the app development lifecycle is more complicated. In addition to being faster and more iterative, you have to deal with multiple device platforms and development styles. You have to securely integrate into back-end enterprise services and cloud and be ready to scale appropriately – even when demand occurs in less predictable patterns. On top of all that you have unique mobile requirements like a user interface that has significant restrictions in terms of real-estate.
Third, you need to figure out how to protect your confidential information and the privacy of the participants – all while you are enabling connection through devices owned privately by the participants themselves and not controlled by the enterprise. You also have to figure out how to manage all the elements effectively from the device to the back-end platform.
These are real challenges. Our recent Tech Report indicated the top three mobile adoption concerns: security/privacy, cost of development, integrating with cloud.
