Just Because You Can, Doesn’t Mean You Should in Enterprise Mobility
I have been pondering various enterprise mobility strategies this week. I asked myself the question, “Is it better to be an enterprise mobility generalist or a business process expert that mobilizes their solutions?” What do you think?
Expertise matters. With the advent of HTML5, mobile micro-apps and other lightweight mobile applications, the value of a particular mobile application is primarily in its ability to interact effectively with a specific “business application” that is somewhere else. The mobile client has little or no value without the “business application.” As a result, the quality of the business application again becomes the focus. This is how the mobility vendors within the SAP ecosystem will be weeded out. Those without deep industry expertise will find it hard to compete with those that do.
I stood on my soapbox. Now it is your turn. Do you agree or disagree? I look forward to your thoughts.
