Does your organization have the desire to become faster, better, and more agile? 

In this world where more and more stakeholders have the desire to bring their business intelligence to the field and free themselves from restrictive platforms in order to remain competitive and profitable, the term Mobility as a Service will create opportunities for new lines of thoughts and processes that will directly impact your bottom line.

What does Mobile as a Service look like?

To better understand Mobility as a Service, let’s first consider a close relative: Software as a Service. Let's take the Microsoft Office 365 business model: its benefits include always working with the most current software version, allowing users to install the software on multiple devices, plus being able to store data locally on the device while updating the same information on a remote Cloud infrastructure. Not only do you have a robust office suite, but you've also securely broken away from the restraints of your office while eliminating the worries and needs associated with backups. Having the application on your device delivers speed, having the data remotely stored ensures security and allows sharing with the peace of mind of always working with the most current information. You deserve the same performance from your Mobile business solution.

The Web app myth: Models that don't always deliver

When organizations seek mobile solutions to connect their internal clients (staff and partners) or external clients (customers), they often consider Web solutions in order to circumvent the complexity of deployment, connecting and interfacing specific mobile applications and devices.

Unfortunately, this apparently simple path does not often yield the expected results – connectivity is the first unknown, then quickly followed by browser versions – spinning users back into a new set of complexity issues and excuses to shy away from the application. This can result in significant losses; financially and in user confidence.

Designing with the best of both worlds.

The goals need to be clear: increase efficiency with the flow of information between the organization and its clientele, and enhance user experience so they enjoy using the application. Connectivity needs to be at the forefront of the design, and performance cannot be compromised.

Since real people will be interfacing with the Mobile application, careful thought will need to be given to how the Mobile application facilitates enhancing the user experience on their phone and or tablet. Success is achieved once we can take these important points and merge them with the intelligence of conditioning the application to be autonomous when a network is temporarily absent, and to connect again on its own and update the different critical points of contact once a network is detected. From that moment on, you are now harnessing the power of the Mobile as a Service application to translate your ideas into real world solutions in real time.
