(Bring Your Own Technology) Developing acceptable ROI Impediments To Successful Adoption

7 What Can These Devices Do? Device Level Picture Video Audio GPS Accelerometer Magnetometer Orientation Wi-Fi Wireless (Edge, 3G, 4G, …) Keyboard/Touch Gyro Feature Level Personal Information Management (PIM: email, calendar, contacts, To-Do, etc.) Phone (voicemail, conference, Caller ID, etc.) Mobile-Browser Native Application Location-based services Data tethering SMS/MMS Music/Video Player (some with radio) Push/Notification

10 The Mobile Device Wars: Wild West of Mobility The mobile rEvolution is big business, on a global scale –Fragmented –No dominant set of standards –Major players battle for supremacy. Comparable to browser wars – but at a much more sophisticated level with more players and big dollars at stake. This fragmentation make designing content for mobile problematic –Do you design high-quality content optimized for each device? –Or, design for a single lowest common denominator? –Difficult questions that drive the design and architecture of most mobile solutions today

11 Mobile Development Considerations Mobile application requirements –Rich UI –Utilize on-device capabilities –Responsive and touch-friendly Native development for multiple devices is expensive –May require new skills –Vary across mobile platforms Web technologies –Normally use existing skills –Portable across devices –Offer limited capabilities as compared to Native apps –HTML5 and CSS3 provide improvements

12 Designing for Tablets Enabling technologies –HTML5 –CSS3 –Javascript libraries Solution – hybrid web + native offer best of both Native mobile development frameworks –Phonegap –BlackBerry WebWorks –Appcelerator Solution: Hybrid Web + Native Apps

13 Designing for Tablets Both Mobile and HTML5 are relatively new, so legacy support is not a concern HTML5 capable devices –iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch –Blackberry PlayBook, BB6, BB7 –Android Phone and Tablets –Windows Phone –WebOS –Most modern desktop browsers HTML5 APIs –Geolocation –Databases, files and storage –Drawing and charting HTML5 + Mobile = Perfect Fit

14 Adapting for Different Form Factors Screen1Screen 2 Combined Activity

15 Better Other Considerations Dynamically adapt to available real-estate and form factors CSS3 Media Queries Custom CSS –Form-factor specific –Device specific Device specific UI adaptations –Back buttons –Rotation –Context menus –Hardware buttons Good

16 Core Insurance Solutions Policy Billing Policy Funds Policy Claims Security Integration Mobile Enabled Applications Multi-Channel Delivery Native Devices Mobile Web Services Roadmap Consultancy Development Example Mobile Insurance Framework Extending the reach of business assets into the mobile space Mobile Framework Hosted or On-Premise Broker/Agent 2Work Consumer Cloud Manage Testing Policy Other Adapters

17 Putting the App in the Ecosystems Privacy policy EULA Distribution –App Store or Enterprise deployment for iPhone –App World or OTA for Blackberry –Market for Android including OTA capabilities Gathering data –Ecosystems include online tools for monitoring downloads –Web application monitoring tools for browser access
