This presentation highlights the issues that IDC believes will shape the Asia-Pacific mobile business services market in 2012. The growing trend around the Consumerisation of IT has exasperated some organisations and exhilarated others. Some companies see it as adding massive complexity to an already confused IT environment. Others see it as an excellent way to embrace change and drive engagement, productivity and revenue. Regardless, it is hard to deny that mobility, consumerisation and cloud have combined to create a tumultuous and exciting mobile services environment for vendors, partners and enterprise organisations. This presentation addresses the mobility issues beyond email and internet access - security, applications, near field communications and mobile analytics.

In this presentation, Andrew Fox will outline the five principals for defining a mobile enterprise application strategy, benchmarked best practices for taking your business mobile, and documented examples of mobile-driven benefits by process area.

Alan will take a closer look at the benefits that Mobility Platforms bring to the table, compare and contrast different classes of platforms and identify the business drivers that might help you to recognise the best type to suit your needs.

A User-Interaction-oriented architecture approach to delivering mobile functionality

Alan will demonstrate how BlinkMobile’s Interaction-oriented Architecture delivers on this philosophy allowing you to create more useful and agile mobile functions that can be consumed on the devices of today and into the future.
