Introducing IBM Worklight v6.0


Open standards-based development framework optimized for sharing code across multiple devices – without compromising the user experience.

Mobile application server provides mobile-specific administrative, notifications, analytics, security and data synchronization services.

Client device layer enables client-side security, enforces app upgrades, secures local storage and allows access to device features.

Essential development, runtime and client device services

An Enterprise Strategy for Mobile is required

Worklight provides Remote Disable, Direct Update, App Authenticity, encrypted offline db, and host of other unmatched security mechanisms and integrations

Worklight provides best in class integration options including REST HTTP, SQL, WAS, MB, CastIron, JMS, Custom Java, SMS etc.

IBM provides best in class resources, support and roadmap capabilities across your entire mobile strategy not just the initial app development

Worklight provides multiple app center/store capabilities for testing/project collaboration or full Enterprise App Stores

Worklight provides Custom Shell capabilities for Distributed app dev and governance. Runtime Skins and OS Optimization increase control

Worklight provides a full management console for inventory, version control, disablement, analytics, notices and notifications and more

Worklight provides a faster mobile simulator and native emulator integration. Additionally, App Center and Custom Shell tools decrease testing time

Worklight supports any JS framework. Avoid lock in as the marketplace innovates rapidly and has a growing portfolio of Visual Editors across frameworks

IBM Worklight – A mobile application platform Speeding the development, integration and management of mobile applications and infrastructure IBM Worklight goes beyond mobile app UI

creation to deliver mobile optimized, standards-based, middleware and tools for enterprise-grade mobile applications and services creation

Accelerate Development•Web, hybrid, and native development: open, flexible, standard-based, multi-screen/omni-channel•Functional testing•Development lifecycle tools and integration

Facilitate App Security and Trust•Server-enforced authentication•App authenticity and user-app-device binding•Secure and syncable on-device storage•App version enforcement

Enable User Engagement•Unified push and SMS notifications•Geolocation and context collections and intelligence•Mobile-friendly integration

Support Mobile Analytics •Efficient acquisition of analytics data•Development, operational, and business analytics•Offline and online event management integration

"Best Mobile Development Solution" as voted by SIIA members for 2013 CODiE Awards


Worklight value on top of frameworks


IBM Worklight Mobile Application Platform Hybrid versus Native Development: Return-on-Investment

Key Worklight Efficiencies: • Web development skills commonly available • Shared code base across devices • Highly efficient optimization of apps if required• Use of ready-made UI libraries and visual editor• Reusable enterprise connectivity and integration layer• Out-of-the-box security and authentication components

Return-on-Investment: • Reduced development effort on 2nd and 3rd devices (up to 90%)• Cost savings increased with additional apps • Reduced overhead of IT integration and mobile infrastructure (minimal effort)• Lower maintenance cost of app versions and updates over time• Dramatically reduced Time-to-Market for app deployment (weeks instead of months)

Transform business processes with geo-location toolkit

Challenges of geo-location Multiple geo modalities–Requires both GPS and

Wifi sampling and interpolation Resource intensive –Continuous polling strains

network and battery resources Enterprise integration – Meaningful action

requires context from back-end systems

New toolkit makes geo-location practical Efficiently collect geo-location data (GPS and

Wifi) Set policies for acquiring geo data and sending

it in batch Trigger business actions when user reaches a

point of interest, or enters or exits a region (geo-fencing)

Server-side logic enables meaningful reaction to important geo events

Geo-Services Implementation

Client-side Efficient sampling of GPS, cell triangulation, and WiFi Works for foreground, background and off-line apps Policy-based, batch data collection, compression and

transfer for minimized battery and network usage Rich APIs for developer full control

Generated events: Proximity to point of interest Entering, leaving a geo-fence

Server side maintains live context: Reaction to important geo events Other business data enrichment Context information integration with business processes Storage for analytics

Integrated Mobile Functional Testing

Comprehensive, complete, resilient functional testing Android and iOS, native and hybrid

HTML and JQuery Record, edit, and run on mobile devices or

emulator Same test runs across multiple devices in the

platform family Natural language scripts can be used by

developers and non-developers alike

Streamlined, four-step process1. Record2. Author3. Playback 4. Report

Improve quality and time-to-value with consistent high quality across your mobile

application portfolio


Seamless develop-build-test user experience for the developer (QA and team work are up sales)

Typical Use Scenarios

1. Development team creates mobile app and test them Wizard creates test project (shell sharing)

together with app project Right-click on iOS or Android parts of the

Worklight project to instrument and add to the test project

Instrumented mobile app, ready to be tested in the mobile client & test view

2. Development and testing are performed by different teams Instrumented mobile app shared via Worklight

Application Center Test team creates testing project an import apps

from Application Center Feed-back via Application Center


Mobile apps span more than mobile devices onlySo does development and testing
