most of m-payments in developed markets.

percent in Asia-Pacific and just 1 percent in Latin America.
• Portio Research (March 2010): There were 81.3 million people worldwide using
their mobile device to make payments (including in-app payments, mobile ticketing

globally by 2015.

What is Enterprise Process Mobility ?
Enterprise Process MobilityTM means that the following stakeholders can
collaborate on business processes via mobile devices, thereby “mobilising the
enterprise” and improving process performance:
Employees (Process Operators)
Customer End Users
Managers
Process Developers

12. Mobile BPM Features
• Secure
• Platform independent
• Familiar, clear and easy user experience
• An alternative and an extension to the PC
• Information-rich notifications
• Action tasks from emails
• Concise forms for actioning tasks
• KPIs and other MI on the mobile
• Easy to configure mobile user experience
13. Secure
In today’s connected world, we need to protect
our information more than ever:
• Any mobile application needs to be
secure.
• A mobile BPM solution needs to be
particularly secure.
• The use of industry standard security
protocols and techniques is fundamental.
14. Platform Independent
An enterprise mobile offering must be platform
independent:
• The use of HTML5 allows a common code-base
across the range of mobile platforms.
• Sequence Kinetics’s Process TO GO Mobile is
designed to work effectively on all the major
mobile platforms.
15. Familiar, clear and easy user experience
We expect a high standard of user experience with all
mobile interactions.
User experience designed specifically for the mobile:
Utilised familiar smartphone UI concepts
Simple touch-driven navigation
Clean, clear user interface
Simplified functionality – more sophisticated
functionality is tucked away, but still available
Simplified forms, possibly with a reduced field set if
required.
Fast, responsive
Easy to access
16. An alternative & an extension to the PC
Mobiles offer an alternative to the PC when we’re
out and about:
• Same experience and functionality as PC-based
user interfaces.
• An alternative to PC-based interaction, not a
replacement.
But also, mobiles offer extended capabilities to BPM:
• Use of on-board features, such as the camera,
geolocation, SMS etc.
17. Information Rich Notifications
BPM is often about decision making. Providing pertinent
information on the mobile aides effective decision making:
• Task recipients receive notifications of events and tasks.
• Either as an email and/or a message in the mobile app.
• Notifications contain:
• All the background information required for
an informed decision.
• What the recipient is required to do, and by
what time.
• Easy access to actioning the task
18. Action tasks directly from emails
Mobile apps aren’t always the answer.
We live in the Age of Email:
• Sequence Kinetics One Click
allows the recipient of a task to
action the task at the click of a
button.
• The buttons, defined by the
process designer, gives a set of
options from which the
recipient of the task can make
their decision.
• Not just “Approve” and
“Decline”!
19. Concise forms for actioning tasks
We don’t know how a user is going to interact
with their assigned task, therefore we:
• Allow the user to interact however
is appropriate at the time.
• Enable One Task, actioned on a
PC or a mobile.
• Create multiple user experiences
tailored to the viewing device.
20. KPIs and MI on the mobile
Information is king. In today’s world we
demand faster and easier access to that
information:
• We enable managers and executives to
monitor how their business is
performing while on the move.
• We empower them to make decisions
more quickly and easily than has previously
been possible.
21. Easy to configure mobile user experience
The mobile experience can be
tailored to a customer’s
requirements, branding etc. Multiple Platforms is a

processes to be automated and
forms to be built quickly and easily.
• Capabilities for both the business
user and the IT developer.
• The use of mobile parts allows
the designer to configure an
app for a specific requirement.
22. Access to Enterprise Information
Extend the range of the enterprise. Access information and
update information within your enterprise systems while out
and about.
• CRM • HR
