THE DIGITAL LANDSCAPE

• Primarily a single desktop

platform multi-OS/multi-form

factor

• Personal mobile devices have

become people’s primary tool

• Support for multiple platforms can add

complexity if not managed correctly

• Which platforms & form factors should be

developed for and which are priority

• Mobile device lifecycles are very short

• New technologies causing confusion

• Business users need to access systems

behind the firewall

• Users demand what they want, when they

want it1

THE FACTS

• Typically business applications are built for desktop

• Data sits behind the firewall

• These apps run your business

• They need to go mobile

• Business users are consumers as well

• Make your investments future proof and go beyond email

BYOD

THE MOBILE FACTS

• Today, for consumer facing businesses, a mobile B2C

presence should be a given

• Mobile B2B and B2E are lagging

• Mobility may not fit in your current business processes, but

it should.

• New systems should be looked at with mobile-first in

mind.

• Consider partners to fill knowledge gaps

4 PILLARS OF APP DEVELOPMENT

• BlackBerry Enterprise Service 10

solves the Mobile VPN issue

• Traditional VPN technology was

not designed for Mobile

• With secure containers, iOS and

Android devices can leverage the

same secure VPN as BlackBerry

smartphones

BlackBerry has also

created a unique and

secure way to route MDM

traffic through its

infrastructure, eliminating

the need to use a

separate VPNGartner, MDM Magic Quadrant, 2013

• Enterprise App Store

• Internal vs. Cloud Application

Access

• Pushed and Mandatory Apps

• Lifecycle Management

• Enterprise Grade Control

“As a result of having fallen

into app development as a

business necessity,

[enterprises]

are typically lacking in basic

app dev lifecycle skills…

To create some order out of

this potential mobile app

chaos, a systematic, full-

lifecycle approach is

needed.”

Andrew Borg – Aberdeen Group

MANAGEMENT2

“We’re serious about

multi-platform MDM

and even more serious

about multi-platform EMM”

John Chen, CEO BlackBerry

• BlackBerry is an open platform

• Multi vendor support for devices

• Choice in development

languages/frameworks

• Connect to the backend systems you use

• Choosing the right app development path is key

to delivering on cross platform enterprise

applications

“Push notifications aren’t an

entirely new phenomenon,

but as mobile handset

growth continues to

accelerate (along with faster

handset releases), push

alerts only grow in

importance as a channel for

applications to communicate

with and re-engage users.”

Semil Shaw - TechCrunch
