3G is pushing mobile office, and the development model needs to be changed

With a mobile phone, you can work anywhere, anytime, and send and receive emails, give instructions, review payments, and sign contracts ...... Almost every job is not pulled down. This extremely convenient mobile office is becoming the most eye-catching new office method in the 3G era, and has attracted the attention and popularity of all walks of life.

Mobile Office is also called mobile office. It implements various PC-based applications on mobile phones so that mobile phones and PCs can communicate with each other and work collaboratively. The biggest utility of mobile office is to free people from a fixed workplace. It means that office work is no longer subject to numerous objective conditions and equipment, even when you are on a business trip, congested roads, and on-site meetings, you can easily share and collaborate with the organization, just as easily as in the office. This feature greatly improves the efficiency of mobile office work and greatly improves the ability to respond to emergencies.

The emergence of mobile office has led a large number of information manufacturers to find new business growth points, allowing everyone to see a new mobile Blue Ocean: the mobile information market is formed on the basis of a mobile information market with up to 0.6 billion terminals, ubiquitous networks anytime, anywhere, and software and hardware configurations comparable to computers, the development prospects are fascinating. Software developers in various industries at home and abroad are making great efforts to extend their PC applications to mobile phones as soon as possible based on their good expectations for the future of mobile technology.

But the question also comes along. As mobile application development is a brand new field, software developers must accumulate technology from scratch to implement mobile applications of information software. For them, how to overcome the problems of Multi-terminal platforms, multi-communication channels, collection and interaction of different data sources, etc. New market fields, new technical topics, and no accumulation of ready-made talent resources. Under such circumstances, every developer wants to study all technologies and solve various technical difficulties by himself, which is time-consuming and laborious, R & D costs also remain high, and the technology lacks stability. Therefore, project implementation is highly risky.

In order to achieve rapid growth and scale-up development, the mobile office industry must go out of its R & D "Small Farmers" model and leverage its own expertise and advantages through inter-industry division of labor and cooperation, use Industry Resources to make up for its own shortcomings.

Taking mobile OA as an example, if you develop mobile applications in a fully-autonomous way and implement a common mobile OA project, it will take about 5-10 people/month of labor costs, in addition, these developers must be familiar with various mobile phone operating systems and learn about the different communication channels and gateways of several major carriers. The cost of the development team is very high. In addition, there is still a problem with this development model. Every time there are new projects and new applications, we have to start development from the ground up and repeat the work. The implementation of more than a dozen wireless projects in a year is already the limit. The development of projects is often a rush, the technology is not mature, there are many uncontrollable factors, the risk of the Project is great, once the failure, the loss will be very serious.

Because self-development faces so many problems, the model of using a third-party mature development platform has become popular recently. Some enterprises specialized in mobile application technology R & D, such as the Digital heaven, have frequently appeared, they packaged their own technologies in the mobile development field, encapsulated all technical difficulties in the mobile application development process in a unified manner, and finally adopted the wireless middleware product method, this solution solves the differences between various hardware platforms, operating systems, wireless networks, and data sources, so that developers do not have to worry about how mobile application technology is implemented. Instead, they only need to focus on their own business strengths.

Using Wireless middleware for mobile application development is extremely effective, not only will the development difficulty be greatly reduced, but also the human and development costs can be effectively controlled. Taking mkey wireless middleware, which is currently the most popular in the industry as an example, mobile OA development and application are supported by mkey support, with a human investment of only 0.5-1 person/month, in addition, developers do not have high requirements. They only need to know about web development and can be used after several days of training. Even if hundreds of projects are implemented in a year, it is easy. The most important thing is that mkey solves the problem of multi-terminal coverage, which is the biggest headache for self-development in the past. You only need to write a program once to generate multiple installation packages suitable for different platforms, it is easy to implement full terminal coverage. This mode of using a third-party mature development platform is easy to use, easy to operate, and highly controllable in project implementation without any worries. Therefore, it has been welcomed by more and more software developers.

3G has changed the mobile communication industry and is bringing earth-shaking changes to the information industry. As it continues to develop, it was originally a spectacular information age and an Internet age, it has begun to enter a more magnificent mobile age. The Internet is everywhere, and informatization is everywhere. The new office and lifestyle have come to us. A brand-new industry gives birth to unlimited opportunities. Only with clear upstream and downstream division of labor in the industrial chain can large-scale development of the entire industry emerge. As an important part of the ICT industry, mobile office must also be dedicated to achieving win-win cooperation. In this era of Industrial Division, who can understand their true core competitiveness, who are better at leveraging resources, who will be able to win success in the new era.
