  1. Enterprise Mobile Application Capabilities

  2. Computing Devices - Rapidly changing Dynamics Smart phone overtook PC sales, including tablets, desktops, and every kind of notebook we can think of Dropping prices, better hardware and internet connectivity are making smart phones true alternative to the personal computer The smart phone is becoming a mobile business terminal.

  3. Computing Devices - Rapidly changing Dynamics Android & iOS are dominating Mobility market with 85% share in new Smart phone sales

  4. Wheel of Enterprise Mobility: Market Research Location based Survey Timesheets, Travel Track emerging products, Product analysis and recommendations Sales Force Automation Approvals, MIS

  5. Business Challenges : Mobility DataSecurity Cost: Multiple OS & sizes Integration Connectivity • Provisioning & ongoing management

  6. Device provisioning Remote data wipe • Upgrades controlled by central Administration / App market • Device monitoring Datamatics Solutions • Secure connectivity • Data encryption on device • User authentication • Provisioning & ongoing management DataSecurity Integration Cost: Multiple OS & sizes • Interfaces built for Integration with multiple databases • Integration with legacy systems Connectivity • Hybrid Apps • Open source frameworks • Local storage • Background data synchronization

  7. Available Options …

  8. Mobile App Development Native App DevelopmentBest in class performance, Smooth user experience, Superior access to device-side capabilities like GPS, camera But High cost of development and maintenance. HTML5 (Web) App Development Are generalized for multiple platforms and not installed locally but made available over the Internet through a browser. Performance is not as smooth as native , less secure and does not leverage every OS feature or API Hybrid App DevelopmentBest of both worlds (Native and Web Application). Reduces mobile application cost and enables access to device-side functionality. . Performance is not as smooth as native The user experience (performance) is not uniform across different OS and device models. MEAPEnterprise grade solution framework for scalable, reliable and complex mobility solutions. Provides synchronization, data wipe, security, scalability , device monitoring features

  9. Hybrid VS Native

  10. Xamarin Platform User Interface is Native, while Business Logic is reused across the platforms.

  11. Mobility Solutions Overview Mobile Application Development Hybrid Application Development Web App development Native Application Development MEAP + Device features Data exchange with middleware using proprietary protocol. Direct access Using Webservices. Middleware Data exchange using specific middleware connectors like SAP, MySQL, Oracle... Backend

  12. Approach : Hybrid/Native Survey/Shopper App Survey Questions Sync / Shopping list & Product database Synchronization HTTPS Web service API Backend server • User Authentication : Application will establish secured connection with the server using HTTPS and authenticate with the server. • Offline Mode : Application will be capable to update/add data and use the previously fetched data even in absence of network connectivity. • Data Synchronization : When the network connectivity is resumed, The mobile application will submit the data to the backend server using Backend web service API.

  13. Approach : MEAP: based solution Web service API Can work event without GRPS/3G Middleware Backend server • Data synchronization • Remote Wipe • Device Blocking • Device tracking • User Authorization • Location tracking • Geo Fencing • Offline Data Storage • Data synchronization

  14. Mobien - iNotify • Robust, scalable and easily configurable • Out Of the Box Connectors mobilize back office systems, Business Processes. • It guarantees ‘Always ON’ Real Time, Network Independent Access to your enterprise data. • Seamless interoperability between heterogeneous IT systems deployed within enterprise withService oriented architecture • It also offers standard HTTP connectors and SOAP connectors to enable it to integrate with various other custom developed back end platforms. • Location tracking.

  15. Mobien - iNotify (Overview)

  16. Increase productivity and effectiveness of merchandising audit • Requirement • Manufacturers need increased visibility into merchandising at a shelf level. • Is merchandise displayed at correct price? Does the display conform to planogram? • Are competitor’s activities impacting promotion success? • While in-store visual merchandising audits are conducted, labor costs are high and delays in getting data. • Solution • The solution is on Android, Symbian & blackberry platform • With a combination of a mobile app based on iNotify framework, coupled with native mobile camera and barcode/ QR code scanning capability, • iNotify improves data collection from the field and transfers to central IT systems faster. • Business benefits • Improve effectiveness and consistency of promotional activities • Accurate merchandising audits • Ensure Shelf and display compliance • Improve competitive Intelligence

  17. Mobile Panel Management Requirement Enabling & managing ad-hoc surveys using smartphones. Managing all consumers (panelist)for taking ad-hoc surveys. Job shortlisting by his/her preference- Jobs accessibility by area preferences e.g. within 5 miles from the residence of the panelist Jobs meeting minimum threshold of remuneration as preferred by the panelist Managing the entire survey right from the notification of jobs to data collection and redemption of points earned on survey completion. Short turn-around-time to enable quick deployment of the solution • Solution • Developed a structured solution using a combination of Web Views and Native Mobile application, XML Web Services and Database server with Transact-SQL to provide data in real time to the device. • Along-with data availability, the native mobile application were able to provide location details of the mobile application using Native GPS details of the device and thereby filtration of the data fetched from central server using web views.

  18. Mobile Panel Management • Features • Device Push Notification- Notifications to the panelist basis their job preference which the panelist can chose to accept or reject • Camera Integration- to aid the data collection process and also adding credibility to data. • GPS integration-To identify and facilitate movements of the user, which further can be used for further analysis. • Survey details: From project briefing to survey completion. • Point Redemption: Facility to redeem points earned on survey completion by panelist. • Benefits • Real time data collection and panel management. • Complete control of activities right from push notification to the redemption of survey points for panelist • With a planned roadmap of execution, Datamatics helped the client to develop the requirement within a very short span of time. • Data collected can be used for further analysis

  19. Vehicle Infotainment – Android • Customer:Datamatics Product ( under development) • Requirement • Vehicle Infotainment service to Passengers in Bus • Following services should be provided • Video Channels • Music Channels • Games • Stops Alerts • Internet • MAP Solution • Developing Android based solution. • User Interface design is designed to allow children 7 old age people to use with ease • Streaming Video & Audio channels from Vehicle server. • GPS tracking & Stop alerts from Vehicle servers to all Tables on the bus. Business benefits • Brand value, • Differentiator for BUS operator (USP) • Better user experience • Increased revenue via advertisements

  20. Implementation of Launch Pad on i-OS and Android/Tablets • Requirement • To implement Launch Pad on i-OS and Android platform • The Smartphone MMI is a light version of the “Launch Pad” desktop MMI for Satellite UT terminals • The functionalities selected for implementation viz.
