Enterprise Mobile Architecture

OCI - Education & Training - Enterprise Mobile Architecture

Schedule


There are no open enrollment classes currently scheduled.

Goals
The computing environment in many of today's enterprises is characterized by a complex ecosystem comprising web and application servers, desktop and notebook computers, applications and libraries, enterprise databases, routers, gateways, firewalls, and other infrastructure assets. The introduction of powerful mobile devices places new demands on this ecosystem: It must be flexible, reachable from anywhere at any time, scalable, reliable, interoperable, maintainable, and secure. Architects and developers need to manage the evolution of their enterprise architectures to meet these increased demands.

In this workshop, participants will explore various complexities that can arise as organizations integrate mobile devices and applications with their existing enterprise architectures, and learn architectural patterns and implementation strategies to help deal with those complexities.

The concepts presented in this course will be platform agnostic.

This course is offered in St. Louis, Missouri through Washington University's Center for the Application of Information Technology (CAIT) and can be applied toward a Certificate of Advanced Studies from CAIT. It can also be delivered as a private event for your company or organization. Contact training@ociweb.com for more information.

Audience
Architects, integrators, and developers interested in learning more about the complexities inherent in enterprise integration of mobile devices and patterns and strategies for dealing with those complexities.

12 hours (2 days)

Prerequisites

Contents
  • Integration and interoperability of mobile devices and applications with business processes and data.
  • Data protection (transport and persistence protection, proper data destruction, etc.)
  • Performance (network, application, data optimization, etc.)
  • Supportability (application configuration management, support expertise, etc.)
  • Service Level Agreements (24x7, criticality, etc.)
  • Quality of Service (ad hoc nature of wireless communications, disruption tolerance, performance under degradation, etc.)
  • Rapid evolution of mobile platforms, operating systems, networks.
  • Number of devices per employee or customer (platform selection may drive cost factors positive or negative)
  • Durability (environments where devices are to be used)
  • Usability / Human Factors (display size/resolution, input methods, touch, stylus, keyboard, voice, camera, etc.)
