A lire sur:  http://www.gartner.com/technology/media-products/newsletters/kony_solutions/index.html

Welcome to the mobile world. The year 2012 saw a huge shift in the way consumers and enterprises conducted business through mobile. Retailers witnessed customers take to tablets and smartphones in record numbers to shop during the holiday season. The Affordable Care Act forced the Healthcare industry to start planning for better accessibility through mobile. And enterprises started to experience the challenges of an increasingly BYOD (bring your own device) work force. We also saw an explosion of new devices and operating systems hit the market – from the iPhone 5 to the new Windows 8 OS, tablet and phone.

As the leading mobile and multi-channel application platform provider, Kony Solutions has kept pace with the explosion of mobility. We now successfully support (among many others) 2 of the top 3 U.S. banks, 3 of the top 5 insurance companies and 3 of the 5 largest passenger airlines in the U.S with their mobile initiatives. After more than 200 successful deployments, we hope the lessons we've learned, and are now sharing with you through this newsletter, will equip you with valuable information to tackle your mobile strategy successfully in 2013!

  • Accelerate Mobile Application Delivery With Cloud Services
  • Gordon Van Huizen
  • 24 October 2012
  • Organizations can build powerful capabilities by developing competencies in each phase of the application activity cycle. Strengthening capabilities and maturity will enable application organizations to advance.

  • Cloud mobile back-end services promise to accelerate the delivery of sophisticated mobile applications and reduce upfront investment; however, these services come with their own risks, which must be confronted for enterprise use.
Key Challenges
  • Sophisticated mobile applications require server-side capabilities that must scale to thousands, and potentially millions, of users.
  • Creating mobile back-end services is not a core competency of most mobile application developers, and the services themselves provide no competitive advantage.
  • Small specialist vendors provide most of the cloud's mobile back-end services, resulting in potential risk and market volatility.
Recommendations
  • Look for opportunities to use cloud mobile back-end services as part of your mobile application development (AD) efforts.
  • Treat today's vendor selections as tactical, not strategic.
  • Ensure that the vendor you select can support your operational requirements.
  • Recognize that mobile applications may store sensitive data in the cloud, so take proper precautions to ensure its security.
  • Understand the potential costs and construct an appropriate funding model.

Mobility Resources

  • Solving The Mobile Dilemma
  • The Problem: Supporting the myriad of different devices, screen sizes, browsers, languages, as well as having to wrestle with updates, new and dramatic changes in technology and multiple toolkits.
