3. Agenda for this Conversation
• A brief background of mobile and BPM
• Biggest Risks to your mobile app
• Demonstrate EMS vision
• Along the way I hope we address two additional points:
•How should we treat mobile differently than a typical BPM project?
•How should we treat BPM mobile apps differently from a typical mobile app?

5. BPM is a Little Late to the Party
On the whole, mobile BPM is late… but why?
• In 2007, the best we could hope for with mobile devices in the
enterprise was an “email approval.
• BPM requirements were typically for information-rich interfaces –
pulling data from multiple sources into one screen for an important
decision or action.
• The wave of consolidation in the BPM market in 2009-2011
probably delayed the focus on mobile by 12 months or more.
• A fair amount of innovation in BPM was happening in other areas

6. Current State
Lots of pieces are coming together
• 5 years later, nearly everyone in the enterprise has (or could have)
access to a smartphone that has roughly the capabilities of a laptop
from 2007.
• IBM has laid the groundwork for a better mobile BPM future by
adding a layer of REST APIs that are actually in use by IBM
products, and by purchasing mobile infrastructure technology like
Worklight
• Companies are beginning to realize the opportunities to improve
their businesses with mobile apps
• BPM has gone mainstream
• Cloud deployments are available for IBM BPM
