Enterprise Mobile Apps have emerged as the latest trend for enhancing worker productivity. While there are many great apps publicly available, building your own custom apps enables the most control and streamlined user experience. Now is the time to embrace the mobility movement and put it to work for your company.
During this session, we will deep dive into the following topics:
Defining an Enterprise Mobile App (highlighting differences between consumer apps)
Which types of apps should be built (how to identify and prioritize)
What platforms should be targeted (iOS, Andriod, Windows Phone, Blackberry, etc.)
How to get started building (Native vs. Hybrid vs. MEAP)
Tackling environmental complexities (unlocking existing corporate backends)
Addressing security concerns (SSO, data at rest/in motion encryption, geofencing/timeboxing, VPN, etc.)
Managing the full application life cycle (beta testing through end of life)
This session targets those CIOs, enterprise architects and developers alike looking to build successful mobile apps. Prior mobile development experience is not required.

The market as a whole is changing from large scale enterprise apps and complex web applications, to much more focused capabilities delivered thru very personal mobile devices. At the same time, businesses have accepted the BYOD (bring your own device) movement, and it has brought them a plethora of target platforms for mobile applications. Businesses have also moved from the monolithic days of the single desktop environment, or the simplicity of a few targeted browsers, to10's of operating platforms and 100s of screens resolutions. User expectations are driving businesses away from the safety of mobile web, to hybrid and native applications. This session will help you see how DevOps practices can be used to help address your mobile lifecycle challenges.

Write once, deploy and wait = #fastfail! Most apps today last less than 30 days and most developers launch 10 or more apps before they start to see success. Before you start looking at yacht catalogues, join us as we head to the Parallel Universe, and uncover the building blocks to making great apps that make money. We’ll review case studies on some very successful applications and developers. You’ll leave with a framework to give your app a life beyond 30 days and understand how to maximize revenues over that life span.
We’ll look at:
How to link the agile product development to agile marketing cycles
Decisions needed for versioning vs feature creep
The art of pivoting
When to involve marketing in the development process (Hint: right from the beginning!)
