A Quick Story of Building Enterprise Mobile Solutions

Mobility is Hot

And Obvious

We Can Build Apps

I want an app!

And Be Rock Stars

After All….

We Have Great Mobile Development Stacks

Let’s Build Mobile Solutions

Not so fast…

Just a few things to consider…

Every mobile apps needs backend

How can my app authenticate to my corporate network?

Integration with my on-premise line of business systems

Or my SaaS applications

And do it consistently so that it can be reused by other apps….

And managed in the same way…

I am a mobile developer….I know nothing about enterprise systems

We need the backend guys

But they don’t know a thing about mobile development

What a mess

Integration is the Number 1 Challenge of Enterprise Mobile Solutions

We need a mobile middleware…

A mobile middleware?

A Quick History of Middleware

B2B

• EAI, B2B integrations

• EDI, RosettaNet, Swift

SOA

• Service based orchestration

• BPEL4WS, ESB, CEP

SaaS

• SaaS-SaaS, SaaS-On-Premise based integration

• iPaaS platforms

Mobile

• ??????

These Guys are not the Solution

• On-premise delivery model• Closed community • Proprietary development tools • Technical debt • Professional services and training

required• High price • No app ecosystem

Challenges

Introducing the mobile backend as a service

Enable backend to mobile apps in the form of cloud services

Abstract the complexities of mobile backend using a consistent development and management experience
