More on mobile at #IBMIMPACT 2014
A few extra items on IBM’s mobile strategy from a panel here at IMPACT:
- IBM’s Worklight Platform is continuing to evolve (see this review of their MobileFirst portfolio) with a focus both on providing great middleware for native apps and support for hybrid applications. Recent improvements include QA tools, running the Worklight foundation in the cloud (using PureApplication Service), integration of the Worklight Foundation with the BlueMix API catalog, Cloudant and more. IBM has also been scaling up its service offerings around development, delivery and application management.
- Part of the mobile portfolio is focused on “engage” and supporting marketers. IBM sometimes talks about Xtify and its ability to push mobile notifications as though it is a marketing solution for mobile. It is better, I think, to consi
Mobile and Cloud at #IBMIMPACT 2014
Tangerine Bank, an IBM customer, kicked off IBM IMPACT 2014 discussing how they are using technology to re-imagining and simplifying banking. In particular Tangerine is focused on becoming a mobile-centric or mobile first bank. They are trying to raise the bar on mobile banking applications, adding things such as voice activation and offline access. Working with IBM they adopted a different platform for their mobile development – PureApplication System – allowing them to get to a 6 week (and hopefully a 2 week) development cycle. This allows them to develop and easily test and deploy repeatable patterns, access the Worklight programming environment, use Bluemix for testing and QA, and taking advantage of the API catalog to manage the bank’s internal services.
Robert LeBlanc of IBM followed to use Tangerine as an example of the shift to a completely digital economy where companies are increasingly using mobile and cloud for computing, unbundling their bu

Decision Management and Responding in Real Time – New Article on Information Management
Most organizations have a huge opportunity if they can use advanced analytics to improve their day-to-day operational decision-making, not just strategic and management decisions.

White Paper of the Week: BPM and BDM: State of Play
While many, most, organizations know they need to focus on business processes, a matching focus on operational decisions is less common. The effective combination of Business Process Management (BPM) with Business Decision Management (BDM) is emerging as a critical element in successful organizations. BPMInstitute.org has been providing insight and education on the relationship between business rules/Business Decision Management (BDM) and BPM for nearly a decade and Gregg Rock, editor and founder of BPMInstitute.org, recently asked me to write up my thoughts on the
