7. Requirements Of A Solution
We need to enable application developers to:
• Focus on client development
• Manage their users (customers) across multiple devices and
applications
• Build highly data-rich applications that are socially-
connected and can leverage both existing and mobile user-
generated content and media assets
• Monitor and analyze data to drive both application
functionality and business intelligence
• Not have to worry about server side infrastructure at all
