Enterprise Mobile Applications part 3

Typical Architecture

Conclusion

Mobile phones are getting more powerful and are being built with more and more functionalities of laptops / desktops. Most of the organizations still use only part of the mobile functionality for their business use. They are now looking at using mobile phones as a supplementary way of providing enterprise information to their employees and carrying out certain business functionality (e.g. access to critical information, recording a simple transaction, approving a workflow etc). With the technology available now and some planning, it no longer need be an expensive and time consuming exercise. With the core framework in place, an application can be deployed very quickly, which can significantly reduce the overall processing time. Moreover, the functionality can be added in a phased manner as and when the business feels the need for the mobile functionality. Using mobile phones as an alternative media for carrying out business functions can only improve the efficiency and effectiveness of an organization.
