This IBM® Redbooks® Solution Guide focuses on the business transformation to mobile devices. Mobile applications are not a luxury anymore. Providing apps to connect immediately to customers, employees, and partners has become a necessity for companies to keep pace with competition and the rapidly progressing business environment. Much like technological advances of the past (such as the Internet, email, and e-commerce) access to business applications from a mobile device has transformed from an indulgence to an expectation.
The mobile enterprise offering from IBM is called IBM MobileFirst. IBM MobileFirst takes advantage of this mobile trend and is an end-to-end solution to facilitate your platform and application development, mobile security, mobile device management and analytics. IBM MobileFirst supplies all key elements needed for a successful mobile enterprise implementation and consequently customization.
An essential part of this integrated package is the application platform, IBM Worklight®, which provides application development, testing, management, security, and on-premises or managed service delivery. Creating and deploying a new mobile solution involves many groups, both inside and outside of the enterprise, such as employees, customers, and partners. To successfully establish end-to-end solutions, these components need to be determined and addressed (see Figure 1).
