AT&T Mobile Application Development

Optimize Mobile Application Development with a Mobile App Platform

Today, the pressure is on to develop and deploy more mobile applications – and fast. As demands increase for business-to-consumer, business-to-business, business-to-employee and government-to-citizen applications, so do the opportunities to create mobile applications that empower employees and engage customers in new ways.

You may not be able to help your organization tap into these benefits if your time and resources are spent building customized applications for each mobile device and platform that comes on the market.

Build better with AT&T Mobile Application Development

AT&T Mobile Application Development helps you design, build, deploy and manage dynamic mobile applications for a broad range of mobile form factors and devices.

Bringing together key elements for enterprise mobility – from a development environment and an integration framework to mobile middleware and management tools – these solutions interoperate with each other and existing back-end environments to mobilize applications, data and workflows.

Write once, deploy to many with mobile app development tools

Now, you can free developers from writing code for each mobile device and platform. Instead, they can leverage mobile app development tools and reusable components to write applications once and run them on a range of mobile devices, platforms and carrier networks. This end-to-end environment for mobile applications development:

• Leverages popular open source IDEs (Integrated development environments)
• Takes advantage of standards-based technology and protocols (SOAP)
• Provides software templates and base-line applications to jumpstart design
• Supplies testing and debugging tools
• Helps simplify and speed mobile app development

Mobilize back-end applications and data

Instead of complex integration projects, pre-built application adapters enable you to write one user interface that combines information from multiple back-end business applications. To mobile users, it looks like the data is coming from just one system. In addition, mobile middleware:

• Enables bi-directional communication between back-end systems and mobile devices
• Extracts, transforms and integrates application data
• Delivers data and applications to users in a format that’s optimized for viewing on select mobile devices

Create a consistent experience with a mobile application platform

With AT&T Mobile Application Development, you can provide employees with a consistent way to access and interact with applications across multiple devices to help increase adoption and productivity.

Providing customers with a consistent application experience across multiple devices can also help you project a consistent brand image and deliver a positive experience that encourages future interactions. With AT&T Mobile Application Development, you can provide employees with a consistent way to access and interact with applications across multiple devices to help increase adoption and productivity.

Mobile Application Development Considerations

As you evaluate AT&T Mobile Application Development solutions for your enterprise, consider these questions:

Do you have a roadmap and strategy for mobile app development?

The incessant demand for enterprise mobile app development can put your staff into a constant reactive mode. Without a proactive plan in place, it can be difficult to know where to devote development time and efforts for the best return.

A Mobility Roadmap and Strategy Workshop can help expand your focus from meeting short-term demands to addressing long-term goals. In the workshop, AT&T Mobility Application Consultants will help you identify areas where mobile applications can deliver the most value for your enterprise.

The consultants can also help you establish an overall plan for moving forward and standard processes for development and deployment of business to consumer (B2B), business to business (B2B), business to employee (B2E) and government-to-citizen (G2C) applications.

Are you planning on developing employee- or customer-facing apps?

Whether you need mobile application development tools for employee, partner or customer apps, it’s important to focus less on delivering applications and more on delivering a positive experience. But it’s tough to do so if mobile app developers must spend time building apps for specific mobile device types and platforms.

AT&T has deep experience in developing and supporting business-to-consumer (B2C), business-to-business (B2B), business-to-employee (B2E) and government-to-citizen (G2C) on multiple application platforms. So, we can help you build applications that motivate employees to use the mobile applications you develop, portray a consistent brand image and create positive interactions with customers.

What is your plan for managing the lifecycle of your mobile applications?

Change is a constant when it comes to mobile apps. Once developed and deployed, time and labor must also be devoted to managing and updating your applications to retain their value to your organization.

Our managed hosting offering for the AT&T Application Development solution can free your staff from these on-going responsibilities. With a full application life cycle approach and strict change management processes, our mobility application experts can manage and document updates, patches and upgrades for you to help you keep on top of change and prepare for upcoming mobility trends and opportunities.

AT&T mobile application consultants can assess your requirements and design a solution that helps you get the most from AT&T Mobile Application Development solutions.
