There is a growing demand to access enterprise data from mobile devices. Usually to support multiple devices, multiple applications need to be developed using multiple languages. Oracle Mobile Application Framework allows you to create one single application, that runs on multiple mobile device platforms based on a single code base. Oracle MAF leverages the existing development skills of both Oracle ADF and Java developers and enabled the development team of BCPRA (British Columbia Provincial Renal Agency) to create PROMIS Lite. PROMIS (Patient Records and Outcome Management Information System) Lite gives authorized users, such as nurses, doctors and surgeons mobile access to a subset of patient information such as medication and lab test results. In this session you will learn how this app evolved from a brainwave at the office to a real on device app. You will see the entire process, from business case to requirements and from development to device. The result is amazing as you will learn from the demo at the end of this session.
