IPS Technological Infrastructure Users (Mobile Clients) IPS Messaging Server (Services) Management Suite (web based UI)

IPS Technological Infrastructure Users (Mobile Clients) IPS Messaging Server (Services) Management Suite (web based UI) Challenges ? – Update Over 1000 Devices (with different platforms) – GPRS / EDGE not available throughout Pakistan – Too Costly to update Mobile applications over GPRS / EDGE – Even if cost isn’t an issue but target audience is not comfortable enough with mobile technologies – How to determine how many devices have been updated successfully ? – How to troubleshoot problems?

IPS Technological Infrastructure Users (Mobile Clients) IPS Messaging Server (Services) Management Suite (web based UI) Proposed Solution Query (script) Execution Engine for Mobile Devices which should support: – Device Application Updates – Capabilities to fetch information directly from devices

IPS Technological Infrastructure Users (Mobile Clients) IPS Messaging Server (Services) Management Suite (web based UI) Salient Features – Binary Updates are possible without Internet – Auto Updates without acknowledging End Users – Very, very cost effective and reliable solution – Infrastructure supports SMSC, SMPP, Terminal, etc – Code base is flexible enough to incorporate any change within single day Note: Such strong, reliable innovative idea hasn’t been seen anywhere in the world so far. Mobile resident Light weight Query Execution Engine Mobile resident Light weight Query Execution Engine

IPS Technological Infrastructure Users (Mobile Clients) IPS Messaging Server (Services) Management Suite (web based UI) Script Support which includes: – Concise yet understandable Query (Present Req. < 70 Characters) – Mobile User Interface Customization (Controls, Values, Colors, behavior, Vertical Spacing, etc) – Auto Sync-ed Backend Implementation – Server Cellular Number Update Script – Support for Information Notification to any Mobile Client – Support to Query Device for Desired Information – Capable of Executing multiple scripts at the same time

IPS Technological Infrastructure Users (Mobile Clients) IPS Messaging Server (Services) Management Suite (web based UI) Future Smart Roadmap (Suggestions) – Each Device can be Query-able Source within IPS Infrastructure – Query any information directly from Mobile Clients – Live Statistical Reports (Directly onto Mobile Handset) – Schedule Smart Mobile Clients so devices can send information back to Messaging Server (Smart Load Balancing Feature)

IPS Technological Infrastructure Users (Mobile Clients) IPS Messaging Server (Services) Management Suite (web based UI) Challenges ? – How to achieve Zero Down Time ? – How to Balance Load ? – How to Ensure / Measure Reliability ? – How to Calculation of Performance ? – How to Up Scale Infrastructure even to geographical / Multiple Server Locations ? – Is it Hardware Disaster Safe Solution? – What about Rapid Application Development for High Priority (Urgent) Requirements?
