Adding voice-activated virtual assistant for orders. “Millennials love Using builtin hw features in mobile endpoints, from Apple's Touch. ID biometric software to voice-activated financial service transactions via Amazon Alexa 4 that. ”

Mobile challenges ● Always implicit: exposure of data via public service, security therefore crucial ● Linking client side and server side introduces additional dev complexity ● Server side services must be performant and scalable (especially when legacy apps are exposed) ● Multiplatform client development requires testing on various platforms ● Hidden infrastructure costs

„We're seeing demand for mobile apps outstrip available development capacity, making quick creation of apps even more challenging. Mobile strategists must use tools and techniques that match the increase in mobile app needs within their organizations. ” Gartner Enterprise Application Trends 2015

MOBILE APP PLATFORM: make mobile more productive ● Code and build applications for mobile devices (client-side and server-side in sync) ● Full application lifecycle process from design to test and deployment and monitoring ● User interface (UI) design and development with a large variety of tools ● Backend integrations to enterprise systems or public web services ● App security and distribution
