Editor's Notes
- #4: Here is an overview of the enterprise mobility program. We focus on all aspects of mobility impacting IT AND end users, which includes hardware, management tools, application lifecycle, data and content management, as well as mobile security. Here are some example companies we cover â with a focus on MDM, Mobile Application management, Application development platforms, secure containers, and mobile virtualization vendors. We publish about 80 short form reports a year that focus on new vendor coverage, product launches, trends, as well as M&A. We also publish four long form trend reports a year. Upcoming reports include a landscaping report on the various mobile management tools and where they apply in the enterprise. Two reports on mobile app lifecycle managementâ one on the development side, and the other on the management side. Also in collaboration with our enterprise security team, we will publish a report on mobile security.
- #9: Trends as we see â market take-up and investmentsCurrent state of procurementApp storeMobility + cloudWhy apps is the new softwareNeed for a managed lifecycle â design to deploymentNo locking but giving the ability to provide a method to madnessSystems Check - stepping up to the gameConsiderations for evaluating tools and platformsFurther reading â ALM â D&D and ALM â D & M
- #10: Talk about why app development is complex and what are the moving parts that need to be managedWhat are the key requirements of enterprises across design, development, deployment and management
- #14: Next we have what we see as the App development maturity lifecycleFirst organizations feel or perceive that they are experienced enough in app development to do mobile app devThen then realize that mobile is a little bit different and they test the waters with one or two device specific appsThey may also allow employees to buy their own apps and see what people are truly using and likeAs they determine usersâ needs and develop their own proof of concept apps â they start to define app dev standards and guidelines Lastly having put standards and guidelines in place they have a blueprint for app development across the organization
- #15: That can address the entire gamut of development and deployment activities within its software lifecycle
- #16: e.g. App stores convergenceManagement tools convergence
- #17: Requirements across different smartphone platforms and appsComparison of tooling deployment models for cross-platform appsComparison based on the sourcing strategy, i.e., out-tasked, outsourced and in-house Year-on-year variance of ownership for tools vs actual apps developed and managed
