IMS Mobile Strategy IMS intends to deliver enhanced support for mobile applications by implementing WAS
Liberty Profile support with integrated REST endpoint, which will enable use of the lightweight data-interchange format JavaScript Object Notation (JSON)
How do You intend to use mobile?
Write mobile applications for your Consumers - end users of public mobile applications? Ex. mobile payments
Write mobile applications for your Employees - end users of private mobile applications provided by your company? Administration Access to IMS data and applications
Expect IMS to provide mobile solutions? IMS Explorer for Administration? IMS Explorer for Development/Data?
