  2. The Enterprise. Unwired.

  3. The Enterprise. Unwired. Industry and Cross Platform Solutions Manage Information Unwire Information Unwire People • Adaptive Server Enterprise • Adaptive Server Anywhere • Sybase IQ • Dynamic Archive • Dynamic ODS • Replication Server • OpenSwitch • Mirror Activator • PowerDesigner • Connectivity Options • EAServer • Industry Warehouse Studio • Unwired Accelerator • Unwired Orchestrator • Unwired Toolkit • Enterprise Portal • Real Time Data Services • SQL Anywhere Studio • M-Business Anywhere • Pylon Family (Mobile Email) • Mobile Sales • XcelleNet Frontline Solutions • PocketBuilder • PowerBuilder Family • AvantGo Sybase Workspace

  4. Agenda • Unwiring Applications – What does this mean? • Mobile Workers’ Needs • Challenges • Sample Architectures • Mobile Solution Overview • Mobile Solution Demonstration

  5. Business Needs – People Unwired • Increase effectiveness of workers anywhere, anytime • Provide occasionally connected users access to enterprise applications • Enable input from mobile workers to update enterprise systems and databases in real time • Allow workers to launch complex business processes remotely whether in the office or being mobile • Maximize utilization of existing information system investments and achieve the highest possible ROI for any new investments • Minimize risks associated with new technology adoption • Support the ease of building and deploying new applications • Support Services Oriented Architecture adoption

  6. Mobile Workers’ Needs Mobile Email • Transform • Information • Combine Data • Mobile • Presentation • Data Edit & • Update • Capabilities • Easy to use • Quick to learn • Reliable • Dynamic – we • Know we need • changes Contacts, Tasks & Schedules Search & Reference Workforce Dispatch Enterprise Information Mobile Transactions Business Metrics Mobile Collaboration

  7. Specific Information Needs Information Types • Database • Web Content – Public and Private • Alerts and Real Time Business Analytics • Status of business processes Variety of Back-Ends • Existing Applications • Web interfaces • Middleware • Web Services • Proprietary System Interfaces • Communicate with multiple generations of infrastructure • Such as MOM, EAI, BPM, Web Services, DBMS, Virtual DBMS

  8. Technical Concerns Expense • Education, Development, Equipment and Maintenance • Low cost delivery for stable and large transfers Mobile Network Realities • Increased Security Concerns • Unreliable connectivity Delivery Support • Synchronization • Data integration for multiple information sources Development Environment • Scalability, reusability, standard support, Web Services, SOA

  9. Security Concerns Protect Information in Flight • Moving from the enterprise to the mobile worker • From the mobile worker to the enterprise Protect Information at Rest • Secure data on the device – for stolen/lost devices Assure Continued Protection of Infrastructure • Maintain enterprise firewall protection • Keeps unwanted hackers OUT!

  10. Technical Needs – Secure Infrastructure “Architected” Unwired Enterprise platform • Security for mobile and on-line applications • Support for multiple data access methods • Databases • Web Services • Packaged enterprise applications • Legacy applications • Support for multiple messaging systems • Standards-based platform for integration, process management, and monitoring • Data consistency between mobile / on-line environments • Manageability for mobile occasionally connected users without adversely affecting enterprise system performance • Flexibility, scalability, need to reuse components across applications

  11. ? Protection of Information in Flight HTTPS / SSL Transport Layer Security (TLS) RSA and Certicom Cryptography UID PasswordServer & Client Certificates Digital Signatures Users Public Networks The Enterprise

  12. Protection of Information At Rest Security Domain Integration Secure Storage User-Specific Access Login Security User Authorization Encrypted Storage Poison Pills Mobile Devices The Enterprise

  13. ? Preservation of Infrastructure Security Existing Internet Protection Infrastructure Firewall Firewall Users Typical “DMZ” Setup The Enterprise

  14. Infrastructure Integration Challenges Business Issues: • New endeavors in changing times require adaptive approaches • Creation of cross-organizational applications • Implementation of stringent information protections • Needs are constantly in flux – need adaptability and scalability Technical Issues: • Mitigate risk by decoupling mobile and enterprise infrastructures • Cost management through avoiding systems replacement • Selection of the best cross-application orchestration platform • Adoption of technologies supporting a services oriented architecture • How to visualize data & content across multiple sources • Multiple platform interoperability

  15. Unwired Orchestrator Functionality Easily Manage Events and Orchestrate Processes • Apply processes, logic steps, rule bases to long and short running processes • Perform content-based transformations, enrichment & routing • Manage failures through compensating processes • Multiple deliver methods: messaging, dbms, web services, adapters • Easily transform into endpoint-specific formats Performance Measurement in Real-Time • Aggregate events into Measures of Performance • Count, measure, display and report on business events in real-time Alerts & Notifications • Alert or notify individuals and groups from events & thresholds, etc. • Facilitate User Self-Enrollment Enhanced Connectivity • Web Services, RDBMS, Adapters, B2B, ERP & CRM adapters

  16. Unwired Orchestrator Functionality Orchestrate Events Across Complex Infrastructures • Deliver to multiple endpoints, while keeping apps “in agreement” Hasten Response to Failures • Assure process failures are detected, tracked and resolved • Assure that processes are understood, visible and auditable Facilitate Rapid Innovation, Reuse, and SOA • Unwired Orchestrator supports the adoption of a SOA architecture - all endpoints are services • Object reuse: rules, formats, schemas and maps may be saved for reuse • Complete business processes may be saved as web services for reuse • The solution is standards based to insure interoperability with new and existing solutions Best Usability in the Market • User focused GUIs – separation of the logical and physical layers • GUIs built upon the Eclipse framework for consistency and integration with other Eclipse applications

  17. User Friendly Graphical Interfaces
