What Device is Accessing Your Application?


Mobile Enterprise Challenges

Technology evolving at Consumer pace

– iOS, Android, …

– Different tools, languages, platforms, etc.

User expectations are high

– Biased by Consumer experiences

IT optimized for web

– Technology expertise, headcount, processes

– Now must address demand for mobile

Multiple platforms and form factors

In Pursuit of Productivity and Connectivity


Understanding Mobile Requirements

Tablet, Smart Phone, Feature Phone, Laptop

Screen size

Device capabilities

Web browser capabilities

Processing power

Do you have control of the devices?

Types of Mobile Applications


We’ll Just Use Our Existing Web Application


Adjusted Web UI for Mobile


It’s Not Just the Screen Size

No mouse

Touch gestures

Harder to type

Web browser limitations

Slower network


You Need a Dedicated Mobile Application !


Mobile Web App (Viewed in Safari)

3 Mobile Application Types

Mobile Web Apps

Online application accessed through mobile device browser

Browser governs access to local storage and device services (camera, GPS, etc.)

Highly reusable code

Highly portable

Native Mobile Apps

Application installed & runs on device

Optimized for specific mobile platform and form factor

Direct access to local storage and device services

Code reuse can be complex

Portability requires work

Hybrid Mobile Apps

Application installed & runs on device with HTML5 UI

Optimized for specific mobile platform & form factor

Direct access to local storage and device services

Code reuse simplified

Portability simplified

Native App (iOS)


Oracle’s Mobile Approach

Extend enterprise applications

to mobile apps through one

common platform

Handle multi-channel

development on any device

Integrate data across the

Enterprise and Mobile device

Secure enterprise data across

all layers database, business

logic and user interface
