2. Mobile growth 2

3. Mobile: a flavor of digital transformation
It’s not only about charging apps: mobile brings data data closer to consumer, thus enabling new business models
Internal apps: bringing organization apps to mobile (CRM, form based process apps, etc)
increase productivity by replacing manual, time-consuming tasks for mobile workers in the field (quotations, damage reports, expense claims, etc.)
External B2C/B2B apps: invent new lines of business – make customer transactions more „uber-ized” or „airbnb-ed”

4. Mobile is always the ingredient of digital transformation initiatives
Domino’s pizza using its AnyWhere platform for oredering via any device: from smartphones and smartwatches to smart TVs. Adding voice-activated virtual assistant for orders. “Millennials love that.”
Mobile app with integrated technology that lets shoppers order and pick up products in front of a CVS store.
Using builtin hw features in mobile endpoints, from Apple's TouchID biometric software to voice-activated financial service transactions via Amazon Alexa 4

5. Mobile challenges
Always implicit: exposure of data via public service, security therefore crucial
Linking client side and server side introduces additional dev complexity
Server side services must be performant and scalable (especially when legacy apps are exposed)
Multiplatform client development requires testing on various platforms
Hidden infrastructure costs

6. „We're seeing demand for mobile apps outstrip available development capacity, making quick creation of apps even more challenging. Mobile strategists must use tools and techniques that match the increase in mobile app needs within their organizations.” Gartner Enterprise Application Trends 2015

7. MOBILE APP PLATFORM: make mobile more productive
Code and build applications for mobile devices (client-side and server-side in sync)
Full application lifecycle process from design to test and deployment and monitoring
User interface (UI) design and development with a large variety of tools
Backend integrations to enterprise systems or public web services
App security and distribution

8. RED HAT MOBILE APPLICATION PLATFORM FEATURES REVIEW

9. 4.2 9 Cloud based Mobile Application Platform
- Between the Enterprise and Mobile apps on devices
- New architecture to build mobile apps where more functionality and business logic can be added to the app in the cloud
- RHMAP is best described in 2 components: Core and App development features and Mobile Backend-as-a-Service 9

•The Core MAP and MBaaS components hosted as a set of containers, pods and services on OpenShift Container Platform
•All in a virtualized environment private cloud on Red Hat Enterprise Linux, they can also use RHV to create the VMs (RHV is OPTIONAL)
•Core and MBaaS provide the RHMAP functionality and hosting of mobile apps
•Developers or Admin Users access is via a web-based RHMAP studio, via command line tooling,or via git push (for code)
OpenShift Container Platform
Red Hat Virtualization - optional
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10

11. App development features
Bring your own tools (Frameworks, libraries, IDEs, etc.)
No new programming languages, training, certifications
SDKs for Native, Hybrid and Web apps
Build Farm service to build client apps
Git for Source Control Management
All features available from Command Line Interface (fhc)
Rapid Mobile App Development (RMAD) features with Forms Builder
Credential Management
Managed by Red Hat (SaaS) or deployed by customer on-prem/cloud

12. Core features
Application Lifecycle Management: manage different environments and app versions (dev, test, pre- production and production)
Basic Alerting and analytics
Private app store for app distribution if enterprise does not have an MDM solution (Airwatch, Citrix, MobileIron and others)
Git repos per app
Unified Push Server to add push notifications to your apps
Fine-grained user and team access

13. Mobile backend-as-a-service features
Node.js based microservices – easy to maintain, easy to deploy
Integration with enterprise systems and third party services, build once, reuse many. Built-in access control for microservices
Put more of the business logic and functionality in the cloud app instead of on the client (device), removing need to upgrade client apps frequently
Helper APIs for mobile scenarios:
Data Sync
Caching
Storage
Authentication
Notifications
Stats

14. BACKEND-AS-A-SERVICE
MOBILE APPS AND MICROSERVICES IN RHMAP
ENTERPRISE SYSTEMS
MOBILE
BACKEND-AS-A-SERVICE
Mobile Microservice
RHMAP allows developers to create microservices or MBaaS services that only take the required information from multiple data sources
This way there is a reduced number of calls to the client apps which could be 1 or 1,000s
Developers build dedicated Microservices for the mobile client
PUBLIC CLOUD SERVICES
Reduced number of calls from client;
Scalable to hundreds and thousands of devices
Multiple services and large payloads, i.e.
enterprise system, database, private cloud system, public API from internet
Caching is built-in into the platform
