According to industry experts, enterprise mobility is a disruptive force that many organizations are dealing with, and this trend is expected to continue and grow in the foreseeable future. Increasing demands from business units are putting additional pressures on IT organizations to deliver an ever larger number of mobile applications, and dev teams are struggling to keep up. Traditional lengthy and expensive development cycles, with protracted time to value, are no longer sustainable. Teams will be forced to employ practices that are different from traditional application development. It is estimated that by 2018, more than half of all mobile apps will be created by business analysts using codeless tools (Source: Adopt a Bimodal Approach to Mobile App Development Strategy, Gartner, July 2014).

MobileForce Viewpoint
One of the initial challenges that MobileForce faced was to bring all the corporate data and applications securely under one roof, talking to each other via defined work flows, and make them accessible anywhere and anytime. Having said that, some of the key prerequisites still needed to be taken into consideration, in order to combat those aforementioned challenges. These obstacles were identified as Security, User Experience and Analytics.

From a security standpoint, it was important to implement access controls to secure the data - in motion and at rest - as well as control read/write access based on the login ID and role of a given user. Support for OAuth, SAML2, AD/LDAP authentication standards, SSL, and PKI encryption was also important.
