The advantages of enterprise mobility

The alliance between IBM and Apple, Samsung and SAP illustrates the importance and the difficulty of moving companies to build mobile business systems. How can companies build their own mobile systems at lower cost, respond quickly to new market demands, and avoid some of the risks that may arise? In this year's "TOP100 Global Software Case Study Summit", Ufida UAP Center mobile Platform architect Yeukun shared the UAP Mobile platform architecture design and innovation practices, and received a CSDN reporter interview, on the enterprise mobile process encountered in the analysis of the problems.

Yeukun is an expert in mobile domain and enterprise IT architecture, has worked in a number of international and domestic well-known software products companies, with rich enterprises and large organizations IT business applications and platform building experience, is currently responsible for Ufida UAP full range of products in the end customers and channel partners Pre-Sales Consulting, planning and solutions.

For the enterprise as a whole, Yeukun that the IT architecture should adapt to the corporate Internet, the new theme of modern enterprise management upgrades and business innovation, and mobility is a key priority for the future. He also stressed that mobility is beyond the concept of enterprise app, two key points is the integration and reuse-mobile environment is based on the extension of the backend, but rely on the original back-end management mechanisms and capabilities of the reuse to complement the new capabilities.

Yeukun first analyzes the advantages of enterprise mobility, as well as enterprises in the mobile process will encounter some obstacles.

In his opinion, the advantages of enterprise mobility are mainly embodied in the following three aspects:

Work efficiency will be higher, meet the needs of customers faster, audience groups beyond the management, the application of the scene beyond the phone to look at the report.

At the same time, Yeukun illustrates the many challenges faced by enterprise mobility, for example, when landing, will encounter security, management and many other factors, this is very different from the traditional consumer app, such as whether the back-end business Analysis report can be shown-the original on the PC can be displayed on the report, may not be suitable for mobile end.

Yeukun admits that Ufida in the process of mobile practice, but also through some detours. According to his experience, when companies develop mobile strategies, managers need to change their perceptions of enterprise mobility first:

Enterprise mobility is not to do the app, it is not just a screen, behind also hidden a lot of things, including the ability to integrate, the ability to reuse, security and management capabilities, and so on, these are the enterprises to do when the mobile must consider. Not the whole PC-side system to move to the phone, which is limited by the screen size of the characteristics of the decision, need to do the wisdom of subtraction, management will encounter a change of thinking.

He also believes that the Enterprise mobility era has the following four features:

Easy to operate: No training, excellent experience, anytime, anywhere access, emphasis on easy management of services: to reduce costs, based on cloud services, one-stop, end-to-end control integration: Integration, the existing system organic extension, traditional business innovation, joint mode of high security: out of Third-party platforms, information theft, access across the network, strategic support

At present, the domestic enterprises in all walks of life are already in the mobile exploration, but the great enterprise mobility is still in the initial stage. In contrast, internet companies in the mobile end of the commercial application ability is good, such as Baidu Company, the mobile end of the revenue has reached 36%, Li is claiming that mobile revenue and profits will exceed the PC side. At the same time, these confidence-inflating internet companies are also turning to business applications, such as micro-credit enterprise, Baidu Direct number and other products. So how much power can corporate mobility borrow from the internet giants?

In Yeukun's view, there will be more collaboration between Internet companies and traditional software providers, because everyone's positioning is not the same, such as micro-letter enterprise is more to achieve the purpose of marketing, and the enterprise internal more is the operation and management of enterprises, usually within the enterprise to do, is not likely to put on a third-party platform, This involves the enterprise internal mobility, familiar with the enterprise management process, business processes of the traditional software manufacturers are certainly more proficient in this way. Of course, for the outside, you can work with the Internet manufacturers to integrate new tools such as micro-trust, micro-blogging capabilities into the Enterprise app. Although Internet manufacturers have not accumulated much of the internal management process of traditional enterprises, the Internet operation mode and the product of mobile technology are their instincts and strengths.

For the internal enterprise, Ufida Traditional management software has formed dozens of of bits of the app, including public class approval, collaboration, Business category of mobile HRM, HCM, Mobile financial reimbursement, and so on. Yeukun stressed that it would be better to collaborate in multiple ways, and finally to form a joint solution to the market so that companies can move faster and better.

Cooperation, it is clear that the need for a good mobile platform, so that developers can use the platform provided by the technical framework, as well as control and other development, whether the enterprise users and developers encountered in the mobile development of the technical bottlenecks, or consumer mobile internet unfamiliar business, are reduced to solve.

Yeukun puts forward several key points of development platform, including cross-platform, fragmentation, user experience and so on, which are explained as follows:

Cross-platform: Enterprises in the mobile development, must not want to do two sets of code, this unreasonable. He needs a code that can be used on iOS and Android. Resource reuse: In the enterprise, there may be dozens of mobile app modules, these modules can not be done from scratch, so the reuse and accumulation of resources is very important. Fragmentation applications: This is different from the traditional PC business. PC business, whether it is ERP,CRM or other business systems, are relatively heavy. And the application of mobile end, must be simple, fast iterative. The advantage of fragmentation is that it can be assembled, and when an application is available, it can be quickly built into the app. Rapid development delivery: After the development can quickly support the app online. Excellent user experience: Based on mobile phone size, some of the current bottlenecks in mobile technology, when the mobile application of the page is too complex, the experience must be poor.

Yeukun that, based on DSL (Dynamic domain language) cross-compilation, to ensure that Java, HTML, CSS code can be converted into native ios/android applications, a good platform for Cross-platform. Of course, Cross-platform is a complex thing, applications in different models may still have different performance, but we can let hardware partners to authenticate mobile applications to ensure the user experience.

UAP Mobile Practice, for a variety of terminal equipment, through the cross-compiled, automatic templates, adapt to different sizes, unless there are very personalized requirements (such as the need to place the logo on the screen somewhere), can be well achieved.

Cloud is a subject. Mobility includes development, integration, management, stores, etc., all in the cloud to provide capabilities, for the development of Cloud compilation, cloud Management (development lifecycle management, through the store distribution app), for the management of the EMM, especially for some small teams or individuals, Provide a dedicated space for multiple tenants to help them manage all apps. Yeukun also revealed that Ufida also plans to provide cloud desktop in the future, so that developers fully developed in the cloud.

When it comes to the mobile technology that companies should focus on in the near future, Yeukun believes in the direction of the need for End-to-end technology, integrated technology and secure technology.

For data security, he believes it can be managed in three ways:

On the desktop of the app there is a controlled space, it is impossible for employees to casually put the data in the enterprise to the SD card or mobile devices. In the transport layer, the use of dedicated information channels, such as the external network into the intranet when the information transmission channel is encrypted, the local storage and transport database itself has been encrypted. Support remote management, when the mobile device is lost, can wipe out the enterprise data of the device manufacturer remotely.
