Enterprise Mobile Information Layout, you are "single point of Entry", or "platform first"?

Enterprise Mobile Information layout, as a CIO, how do you start with the platform first? Or do you start with a single application? In general, the direct construction of mobile work platform is the first choice for many CIOs. However, in the Red Core Enterprise mobile Technology Exchange Group, there are many enterprise CIO said, aiming at the key pain point of the single point of entry is the right way to open the mobile.

Single point cut-in pie

"First platform, will frighten the boss." "In the Red Core Enterprise mobile Technology Exchange Group, Fú said, he does not mind to propose his own effect theory, on the one hand, he thinks, the first platform construction, because involves comprehensively, the change time inevitably must drag long, the effect cannot appear in time." On the other hand, mobile is like "stones", do the top-level design directly, this is not realistic.

"A single application is easier to cut into and more appropriate for a mature enterprise," says Jack. He also admitted that "the first platform construction is not wrong, but the actual situation will inevitably be unsatisfactory." At present, the mature platform is less, the enterprise chooses less. Second, the platform involves a large, once can not well fit, the consequences are fatal. ”

"There are many examples of ERP failures in large enterprises in China. "In the Red Core enterprise mobility Technology Group," said Jack, "whether it is the application or management system, the core purpose is to serve the enterprise business, must be aligned with the business process of the enterprise." He believes that the excessive pursuit of chatty is easy to lead to project failure, internal business processes and personnel in the short term to accept too much information reform, it is easy to the cart before the horse: "In the end is to change the software to adapt to the enterprise, or to change the business process to adapt to the maturity of the software?" ”

Platform Advance

In the Red Core Enterprise mobile technology Exchange Group, Chen has different views, so-called mature business, but also in the non-mobile environment of maturity, is not absolutely mature, but enterprises, users are familiar with it. He is a "mobile platform-first" fans.

For enterprises, users familiar with the problem, he said: "People are inert, can not say that the system users are accustomed to BS or CS do not move!" “

The reason why "platform faction" insists on platform first is the problem of Information Island. Once the information pre-planning is not in place, a single application first, it is easy in the late, can not integrate all the system to connect, to generate information silos.

Thinking, platform first, action, single point of cut

Whether it is platform-first, or single-point cut-in, the red core that the CIO, although there are different views, but in the same point reached a unified, that is, mobile information to pay attention to the way the method.

"How to guide the user to move actively, is the difficulty, is also the CIO's homework now." "In the Red Core Enterprise mobile technology Exchange Group, Chen said. This may be a challenge for CIOs in practice, not only to choose the best tools, but also to steer down to the front-line employees, to the management, to use these tools, and to form a good cycle. Any part of the problem, the information construction of the part will become chicken ribs.

Although he is "platform-first", but in the specific implementation process, but also in favor of a single system can highlight the advantages of mobile: "Mobile planning to first, then grasp the key business point, so that mobile single-point role to play out, generate benefits, access to business sector recognition, and then as a breach to expand business coverage, forming a value chain Finally form the face! The value of information in the face of cloud computing, big data on the natural formation! ”

As for publicity, single-point propaganda is often more intuitive than platform propaganda, making it easier for management and staff to see further value.

Should CIOs be the "firefighters" of the business?

Jack says IT system administrators are the fire brigade. Sudden emergency measures are their daily.

Chen agreed: "Emergency measures for emergencies are necessary". However, he also said, "The plan should be the possibility of fire to the lowest possible!" This kind of fire fighting less, information-based talents have more time to care about business difficulties, pain points. From the source let the fire do not come! ”

As more and more enterprises begin to "embrace" mobility, CIOs are faced with the challenge of becoming the front line for construction. In the red core discussion of Enterprise Mobile informatization, CIOs have the consensus that the Mobile information construction, is not simply a mobile device and mobile application management. Inside of the Mobile information strategy, is the real "dragon Slayer Blades."

About "mobile layout, are you a single point of entry or a platform first?" "The CIO in the Red Core Enterprise mobility Group also has the words:

Yan: I think in the information this piece, I also have a relatively large heart feeling, we are a road and bridge construction Enterprises, 2013 years of x system, from implementation to landing cost is not low, now the enterprise is gradually expanding, involving more industries, there are real estate, machinery leasing, building materials processing, However, the boss of our X system as a universal cost budget control system, what industry to use this system, now the system is in an awkward position, the boss is not willing to invest again, the system is facing the upgrade, X System Company No one in this version of the support.

Jack: What the boss doesn't know is that if you want to manage your IT system, you have to understand business processes and requirements better than they do.

Chen: In order to find the boss to invest, and jointly develop new business for the thinking to consider the problem. Why does the boss want to invest in this (piece) thing? Must be the information department to do first, the business unit happy (performance, efficiency, cost reduction). The boss sees the potential before he invests in the project. A year ago, my boss is the same, even if the information is to buy software to install, you use on the line. Now the boss asked me to cooperate with the general manager and the business center to do the plan, do landing!
