Service Agility, development scenario…"Hey Simon, I need to test my new

version of the payroll Transaction I created using RDz and the IMS Explorer for Development.”

"Sure Abigail, all you need to now is log into the IMS Web Console and use the Start and Stop capabilities; I will send you a link."

"Thanks, I'll test my Transaction on the development IMSPlex later today."

"That should be fine, let me know if you need anything else.

“Mobile is a mandatory transformation in the evolution of computing”

Client/Server

Web/Desktop

Mobile/Wireless/Cloud

Mobile enables:

• Premium Customer Service – hotel bookings, flight check-in, etc

• Broader Marketing Reach – Put your branded icon on your customers’ smart device

• Increased Revenue

• Increased Operational Efficiency – extend your existing enterprise systems to the mobile platform

ISPF


Mobile Vision• Build rich web experiences for critical

applications• Combine and manage disparate application

resources as a single entity• Increased pressure to be able to deliver

results faster and more efficiently• Consider the rapid growth of mobile devices

and workloads.– Can you cope with the demands of the future and

ensure operational costs are kept as low as possible?


IMS Mobile Strategy IMS intends to deliver enhanced support for mobile applications by implementing WAS

Liberty Profile support with integrated REST endpoint, which will enable use of the lightweight data-interchange format JavaScript Object Notation (JSON)

How do You intend to use mobile?

Write mobile applications for your Consumers - end users of public mobile applications? Ex. mobile payments

Write mobile applications for your Employees - end users of private mobile applications provided by your company? Administration Access to IMS data and applications

Expect IMS to provide mobile solutions? IMS Explorer for Administration? IMS Explorer for Development/Data?
