Enterprise Mobility Roadmap	Assess current mobility status Identify mobility use cases, evaluate value-add and feasibility Prioritize use cases Assess business process and enterprise architecture implications
Backend system analysis	Crucial part of the project Data sources and preparation analysis Capacity assessment
Mobile platform and device selection	Use case-driven (screen size, functionality, etc.) Numbers of mobile workers, TCO Device inventory and prior investment BYOD
Architecture selection	Native applications: best user experience and performance, most robust functionality, full access to device capabilities, best in offline mode HTML5-based web applications: potentially significant degree of code reuse, easier support for multiple platforms, performance and UX inferior to native apps, deficiencies in offline capabilities Hybrid applications: HTML5-based web apps wrapped in native containers; code reuse and cost savings compared to native, better access to native device capabilities than HTML5; while attractive, the approach is still immature
High-level architecture design	MEAP Custom middleware Server-side business logic Scalability
Mobile device management strategy	Policy enforcement and compliance Provisioning Security Application management Mobile data management
Backend integration	REST vs. SOAP/WSDL Web services development Specific data storage Authorization and security
Mobile application development, testing and deployment	Methodology: Agile best suited for incremental delivery and rapid deployment Front-end technologies Objective-C, Cocoa Touch, iOS SDK, Map Kit Framework Java, Android SDK, Google Maps API BlackBerry OS Windows Phone, Windows 8 Tablet, Microsoft Silverlight, Metro UI HTTP/HTTPS, XML, JSON AES Encryption
