*Worklight Architecture

Worklight Differentiation *

Downloadable (Native) Apps*File System(on mobile device)Mobile Operating SystemHigh-quality user experience and full device access. Platform-specific, requires unique expertise, expensive to develop and maintain.

Web Apps*Mobile Operating SystemWritten in HTML5 JavaScript and CSS3. Quick and cheap to develop.

Less powerful than native and limited device access.

Hybrid Apps*File System(on mobile device)Mobile Operating SystemCombines best of both worlds: Primarily written in HTML5, CSS, JS while allowing full access to device capabilities.

Worklight Shell Approach*File System(on mobile device)Native Container (Shell) with custom functionality for performance and securityMobile Operating SystemAllows development of downloadable apps without any knowledge of native development languages.

Dedicated teams with native expertise can provide custom native capabilities and security functions to app developers.

Integrated Development Environment(Eclipse Plug-in)

Application development using native and/or familiar web technologies:HTML5CSS3JavaScript

Integrated device SDKs allow direct access from within the IDE to emulators and code debugging utilities

Worklight Studio*

Single Shared Codebase*

Incorporated Device SDKs*

Integrating Best-in-class ToolsWorklight is compatible with prominent HTML5 libraries and tools: *

Runtime Skinning Use Cases Different Screen SizesDifferent Input MethodDifferent Screen DensitiesSupportfor HTML5*

Combine HTML5 and native-based pages in the same application

Call native code from HTML-based pages

Display HTML and native components together on the same pageHybrid Coding Native and Web*

Write the majority of the code in reusable web languages Maximize user experience and achieve unique functionality with native codeHybrid Coding Why Mix Native and Web?*

The Shell-based Application*

Architecture of the Shell-based ApplicationArchitectureThe Shell consists of native and web codeInner app consists of web code onlyNative accessThe Shell provides JavaScript access to native device capabilitiesSandboxThe Shell can restrict inner apps from accessing unsanctioned native and JavaScript functionsCustomizationThe Shell can include custom native and web libraries and APIs, branding resources, authentication, and integration components API restrictions are also customizableDiversityCompany may distribute multiple shells for different trust levels, authentication types, corporate departments, etc.*

Appendix

Competitive Reference*Very costly development and ongoing maintenanceLong time to marketRequires specific knowledge and skills that are not transferable across environmentsApplication delivery limited to application storesNo cross-platform compatibilityLacking complete IDE functionalityNo optimization capabilitiesLacking management and middleware capabilitiesDoes not address enterprise security requirementsNo advanced features, e.g. Runtime Skinning, Unified Push, Remote Disable

Application typically presents lowest common denominatorDoes not address unique business and IT requirementsRarely provides sufficient middleware and management capabilitiesTypically very expensive for high user volumeTypically legacy solutions limiting modern device supportOften proprietary interpreters and scripting languagesLess agile developmentWeak or no support for HTML5Lacking 3rd-party compatibilityOften focused on packaged apps and servicesNativeDevelopmentOpen Source FrameworksPre-packaged Mobile AppsOther Mobile App Platforms

Environment Requirements*The Server can be clustered for high availability and linear scalability. In such cases, a load-balancer is required. Any commercial load-balancer, hardware or software, that supports sticky sessions can be used. The load-balancer can optionally act as a reverse proxy and SSL accelerator, depending on the technical needs of the environment.

***Clawbacks - money returned by the agent to the company** If I were to define the AIM strategy for mobile in one sentence, I would define it as such:Websphere SOA*****1 Dispatching notifications by polling back-end apps or receiving back-end-originated events2 Uniform server-side API for pushing notifications via Apple, Android, BlackBerry and SMS3 Maintaining push state of each user and device details4 Dispatching the notification via the appropriate notification service5 Uniform client-side API for subscribing to notifications and handling them on the device6 Monitoring and controlling notification delivery; Statistics of notification delivery*Nitobis build service is a great solution for developers who need an easy-to-use cloud-based system.

For those companies who are looking for a powerful, in-house build system that integrates with existing ALM or continuous integration environments, Worklight offers a Centralized Build mechanism which is installed within your own infrastructure.

The Worklight build mechanism routes code between computers, so that iOS projects, for examples, are compiled on a mac, whereas Windows Phone apps are compiled on Windows.

This mechanism provides a controlled build environment for multiplatform app, that keeps the source code within the boundaries of the organization, and is already integrated with leading ALM solutions, such as IBMs Rational Team Concert.

Back to you Steve.**
