Transcript of Mobile Services & E-Services Case Study By Osama Abushaban
Agenda
• Introduction
• Decision on Cloud Computing & Virtualization
• eServices
• mServices
• Case Study
• Conclusion
Introduction
• One of the largest national conglomerates
• Est. in 1982
• Size: >3,000
• 8 companies, 17 branches, 4 cities
• Cross Industries!
Triggering Events
• Technology:
– Integration between applications
– Interface with vendors systems
– Single point of failure
– Security (Network, Applications & Information)
• Business:
– Comply with vendors Regulations
– Customer oriented/centric services
– Responsiveness
– Expenditures!!
Transition
Road Map
• Gap Analysis
• Assessment & capacity building:
– Systems Classification (Core or Essential)
– Responsibilities Matrix (Who, What, When, How)
– Skills Gap Analysis & Training
• Value Analysis & Proposition (Technological):
– In-house Vs. Outsource
– Infrastructure as a Service Vs. On-site Infrastructure
– Cloud, SaaS, or On-site Applications
– Service Oriented Architecture
• Road Map (3 years)!
Infrastructure
(Data Center, Active & Passive)
Virtualization & Cloud Computing
Security (Network & Applications)
Core Systems
Essential Systems
Centralization & Consolidation
Virtualization,
Cloud Computing,
Grid Computing,
SaaS
Virtualization
• Creating virtual hardware platform, OS, storage device, or network
resources
• Virtualization is on-site
Factor Assessment
Technical Skillset requirements?? Yes, High
Control High
Scalability High
Do we own Data? Yes
Privacy! High
Security Depends
Compliance! (FISMA, HIPPA, SOX …etc.): Yes
Abuse! No
Cloud & Grid Computing
• Cloud Computing Vs. Grid Computing
• Private, Public or Hybrid?
• What applications & systems to move?
• Why governments doesn’t sponsor it?
Factor Assessment
Technical Skillset requirements?? Yes, Medium
Control Medium
Scalability High
Do we own Data? Yes
Privacy! Debatable
Security Depends
Compliance! (FISMA, HIPPA, SOX …etc.): Debatable
Abuse! Yes
SaaS
• SaaS is part of the Cloud Computing
• Ready Packages: Customization limitations
• Integration limitations!
Factor Assessment
Technical Skillset requirements?? Very Low (Administration)
Control Low
Scalability High
Do we own Data? No
Privacy! Debatable
Security Depends
Compliance! (FISMA, HIPPA, SOX …etc.): Debatable
Abuse! No
Virtualization & Cloud Computing : Scope
• 41 applications virtualized in 2 physical blade servers with
redundancy and high availability
• On-site Unified Corporate Storage
• Clouding (essential applications)
• Clouding (DR site & Backups)
Virtualization & Cloud Computing :
Challenges
• Perception & mindset
• Mainframe systems (e.g. AS400 can’t be migrated)
• Data Ownership & Migrations
• Cloud’s SLA monitoring & management
• Legislation: On-site Vs. Cloud location
• Privacy!
Achievements
Achievements
• Qualitative:
– Cost efficiency with vertical expansion
– Scalability
– Proactivity instead of reactivity
• Quantitative:
– More than 35% cost savings in ICT Expenditures
– In housed 85% of whole ICT services
– Improved hardware uptime from 75% to 99%
– Reduced software downtime from 35% to <3%
Are we done!
What is next?
eServices
eServices
• SOA to support launching
• Acceptance
• E-readiness (Mauritius is; Mauritians aren’t)
• Accessibility (e.g. design, disabilities use)
• Usability
• Security
• Compatibility with browsers!
e-Services
e-Services
4th Level
3rd Level
2nd Level
1st Level
Web Site Maturity Level
Web site & network functions allowing for integrated services involving cross-departments & organizations
Web site & communication functions allowing users to hand-in and retrieve information
Web site provides “interactive” information about the organization & its services
Web site provides “packaged” information about the organization & its services
eServices
• Category 1: eGovernment supporting the Single Market: EU-OPA, the European Order for Payment Application (Austria & Germany)
• Category 2a: eGovernment empowering citizens: Genvej (Denmark)
• Category 2b: eGovernment empowering businesses: MEPA, the Public Administration eMarketplace (Italy)
• Category 3: eGovernment enabling administrative efficiency and effectiveness: Licensing of Hunters via the “Multibanco” ATM Network (Portugal)
• Public prize: SMS Information System (Turkey)
Challenges
• Compatibility: Which web browser?
– IE, Firefox, Chrome, Safari, Opera …etc.)
• Ease of use: Backward design (testing!)
• Feedback from customers & citizens
• Technology is evolving! What is the right tool?
mServices
m-Services
iPhone 35%
BlackBerry 38%
Andriod 7%
Others 20%
Single Smart Phones Usage Comparison
m-Services
iPhone & BlackBerry
76%
iPhone & Andriod
1%
BlackBerry & Andriod
6%
Smart Phone with Others
17%
Dual Smart Phones Usage Comparison
Native Platform Vs. Cross Platform
Native Platform
Library update Direct technical support Code size Stable App store and device portal solution Existing User Interface (UI) standard Better UI, can take full advantage of display
Not all have Open Source solution Different programming language Different UI design pattern Slow development time
Cross Platform
Open Source solution One programming language family for all, Common UI design could be implemented for multiple OSes, Fast development
Library update Limited direct technical support Library is limited Code size Unstable Not suitable to adopt one UI guideline for all UI design depends on the platform and is limited
Opportunities
• Mobile Marketing
• Mobile Phone Apps
• Location Based Services
• Accept the fact (Social Media & mServices)
Challenges
• Security!
• User Preference:
– mServices (mApplication Vs. mBrowsing)
• Standardization: Which mobile App?
– iPhone, BlackBerry, Android …etc.?
– Which version? (e.g. BlackBerry 5.0, 6.0 or 7.0)
– What is the next platform?
Case Study
Satisfaction Excellency
• Automobile industry
• 5 years comprehensive warranty & service Contract
• Customer Satisfaction Surveys for Sales & After Sales
• After Sales Customer Satisfaction 83-86%
– 7% lost for timing & waiting to deliver serviced vehicles to customers (working hours, washing queue ..etc.)
– 2% lost for (un-attended calls) for appointments

Conclusion
• Remember:
– mServices are not a replacement of eServices, it is medium of delivery
– We replace people; not systems
– I.T is not a core competency; it’s a business enabler
• Mobile Apps are the future and it is no longer a luxury
• Mobile Apps drives value for eServices
• The keyword ”service” is always about your customer!
