The right mobility platform for business is one of the IT industry’s most exciting and important segments. It’s also one of the fastest-changing technology areas, which puts big pressure on IT organizations to ensure that they are supporting new technology solutions while limiting potential risks. What many people overlook, however, is that important trends such as Bring Your Own Device (BYOD), RESTful APIs, API Management, API Economy, pervasive mobility, Voice over IP, virtual private networks and other developments that leverage the new class of consumer mobile devices all depend upon mainframe computing as a reliable, secure and powerful platform. |
Smartphones and tablets are joining small notebook computers as fully featured clients in today’s IT architecture for applications that go way beyond accessing social media sites or checking email. Those new mobile devices are being used to handle intense workloads traditionally handled by desktops, such as ERP, CRM and e-commerce, and are even playing critical roles in business continuity and disaster recovery. Add to that the importance of mobility in virtualized environments and cloud computing, and it’s easy to see why IT organizations are working overtime to ensure a suitable balance between employee freedom to use their familiar consumer devices and organizational requirements for high levels of security, tight adherence to compliance mandates and network monitoring and management.
Vicom Infinity understands this critical intersection between today’s breed of mobile devices and robust back-end systems that control everything from access privileges to systems management. We also have extensive knowledge in how to deploy IBM WebSphere Worklight, an innovative mobile application development and management framework to help organizations mobile-enable their enterprise mainframe workloads and applications.
Our mobility consultants perform thorough audits of your organization’s current and planned use of mobile devices, identify areas of risk, recommend technologies and best practices to ensure performance, scalability and manageability, and provide you with a long-term roadmap that protects your current investments while ensuring a smooth transition when new technology options become available.
