  • 4 Building Blocks to Mobilize your Enterprise App Strategy Recorded: Jan 24 2013 64 mins
    A sound enterprise mobile app strategy focuses on automating and scaling 4 key pillars: back-end data/app integration, app composition/packaging/promotion, secure channel from device to enterprise, and tools to simplify app creation cross-device. Mastering these disciplines delivers native mobile apps that offer consistent and compelling user experiences and brand expansion through engaged developer communities. In this webinar, Forrester & Intel focus on how mobile middleware solutions have evolved the from traditional 3-tier web apps to provide direct access to back-end data via APIs.

    You will learn:
    -Tips for integrating BYOD platforms into your enterprise app offerings
    -Tradeoffs between web app portals and native mobile apps
    -The gateway approach to streamline development while improving security
    -Tools to provide a unified foundation for mobile enterprise application development
