Mobile Enterprise Application Platform

In the above diagram, the SkyMobile framework supports a “super client” on the mobile device, a central MEAP environment, specialized interface management components for the “back-end” business systems applications and databases.

Supports the following mobile environments:

  • Windows
  • BlackBerry
  • iPhone/iPad
  • Android

 

Comprehensive Interface Management

As most production users will attest, the biggest threat to a “back-end” business system is flooding it with external transactions and synchronisation requests. It is therefore critical that your Mobile Enterprise Application Platform (MEAP) provides all the controls to effectively and efficiently manage all mobile interfaces. It is not okay to carelessly “lob” transactions over the fence into “back-end” systems with no load balancing, dependency controls and error monitoring.

 

Other major considerations include:

  • Total visibility of all mobile transactions from a single central point.
  • The ability to perform multi-phase business transactions within and between business systems e.g. CRM and ERP, without having to write custom code.
  • Internal dependency management to avoid sequencing errors, resource locking conflicts and priority scheduling issues.
  • Variable “throttle” controls to manage the maximum system resources that can be used at any one time i.e. connections, processes, instances etc.
  • Support for all major integration options i.e. enterprise/web services, XML, function/procedure calls, peer-to-peer, file transfer etc.
  • Ability to use the most appropriate trigger points (events) in the “back-end” system to initiate outbound transactions and data object synchronisation i.e. push technology.
  • Seamless integration with the “back-end” sub-systems to provide comprehensive monitoring and error processing capability.

With our 12 years of integration experience, we have included all the customer experiences and technical knowledge into the SkyMobile framework. It includes a proven interface management component that effectively protects your business systems while improving the overall throughput of all mobile transactions and data object synchronization requests.
