Mobile Cloud, and SharePoint especially has become a lot more than just data storage spectacle; it has become an important productivity enabler. Nearly 80% of enterprises use Microsoft’s SharePoint to store, manage and act upon corporate information.
But many employees wonder: Why can’t I get the same access from my mobile device? Learn how companies are putting the power of SharePoint into the hands of their employees, wherever they may be.

Apps
• Quick, low cost…but:

– Battery life
• Low reuse across apps
• Bottom line
Only practical for 1-2 apps
with 1-2 backends

5 Develop mobile client, integrate server-side APIs
Approach #2: Server-side
• Scalable, reusable…but
• Time consuming
– ~50% of dev effort
• Costly
– $100K-$1M per app
• Requires server-side

11. Key considerations in Mobilizing SharePoint
Identify key features & use cases to be implemented for user delight and
adoption: Check-out feature vs. offline access
Plan for a dynamic and rich user interface that leverages full capability of
touch enabled navigation and interaction
As most of the SP solutions are confidential, access from mobile devices
needs to meet organizational security policies.
SharePoint does not provide easy way to access data that is “mobile app
ready”. Conversion, filtering etc. is required
Selection of content from SharePoint portal that should be delivered to
mobile devices. All content is not possible and should not be delivered

14. Use Case 1 – mobilizing SharePoint
Touch Touch Touch
15. Use Case 2 – enabling knowledge sharing
- Case Study
- A professional services firm needed access to critical information about
individual consultant expertise while on the go
- Back end data resided in multiple enterprise systems and needed to be
accessed by multiple devices
- Leveraging Appcelerator, we were able to reduce time to market by 50%
on the first device platform and 70% on subsequent platforms
16. Use Case 3 – enabling innovation
- A large consumer goods manufacturer needed to supercharge
ideation and provide Execs visibility to the innovation pipeline
- Multiple back-end systems needed to be integrated (PLM, CRM, ERP
and SharePoint) and new mobile apps needed to be created
- Appcelerator platform with enterprise connectors and WinWire’s
WinIMS kicked off the 1st phase of the solution
- Needs to be continuously enhanced, tested and analyzed to add new
capabilities but also to serve global markets with varied devices
- Enterprise was able to focus on solving core business issue without
building an army of software developers
- Results
- Seeing significant increase in new ideas submitted
- Better visibility into the innovation pipeline
- Able to determine impact on revenue from these new ideas
