Driving Digital Transformation
8. Mobile: A Catalyst for TRANSFORMATION
“38 percent of total IT spending is outside of
the formal IT organization already, with a
disproportionate amount in digital.
By 2017, this number will grow to more than
50%.
Gartner, Drive Digital Business with Insights from Symposium, Nov 2014
9. Mobile: A Catalyst for
TRANSFORMATION
"The number of enterprise applications optimized for
mobility will quadruple by 2016, driven both by
competitive necessity and rapidly evolving
technologies that support faster and more secure
enterprise 'appification'. The benefits from efficiencies
and business innovation on the back of this app
explosion will transform industries and markets. At the
same time it is clear that the path to broader
mobilization of business processes is still complex.
John Jackson, Program Vice President for Mobility Research, IDC.

Existing apps:
49. Architecture: PaaS/IaaS
• The platform uses OpenShift 3 as a PaaS layer
• This can be deployed on
• Bare metal
• Raw VMs
• Local private cloud
• Public cloud
• The physical deployment provides the baseline
• incoming networking/routing (diagram focuses on client app routing)
50. Architecture:
Summary
The Core MAP is hosted in set of
• RHEL-based containers on the PaaS
• These provide core functionality
• used by all apps and services
• Developers/Admin Users access the
Core MAP via a browser,
• via command line tooling,
• and via git push (for code)
51. Architecture: MBaaS
The Mobile Backend-as-a-Service
provides a set of “environments”
to match the lifecycle, e.g. dev,
• test and prod
• Each server-side “Cloud App” is
• made up of Node.js code,
caching,
• and MongoDB JSON DB storage
52. Architecture: MBaaS Drill Down
Within a Cloud,
App Pods can be
• scaled horizontally.
• Shared services can
• also be deployed
• that are used by
• more than one
Cloud
• App.
• MBaaS Services are
• one example of
this.
53. Architecture: Client
Apps
Client Apps are routed into the MBaaS
• to link to their relevant “Cloud App”
• The platform can dynamically bind
• Client Apps to new “Cloud Apps”
• in the same project
• The client SDKs manage complex tasks
• such as data sync, queuing requests
• when offline
• Limited communications to Core MAP
64. Consumer Apps (B2C)
• Travel
• Retail
• Banking
• Business Services
• Customer service
Employee Apps (B2E)
