1. Design Business Processes

The success of a business software application mainly depends on the usefulness of it, how business can be managed easier by using the new IT.

This phase contains on the one hand a description of a freely choosen business process, which can be managed on a mobile device partially or totally, and on the other hand a flowchart/model (UML, BPMN, etc.) of the "mobilizable" business process.

Here we include a short description of some sample business processes for "mobilization".

These descriptions were kindly provided by:

The submitted material of this phase of the contenst should contain the detailed description of the structure of the middleware, demonstrating the flow of information between the dynamics server and the clients, based on the real business process (described in Phase No.1). 

The submitted material should contain the code solution and description of the connection between the Dynamics Server and the client mobile application.

The connection can be established by publishing and consuming web services. The type of the published and consumed web services should be harmonized.

For those who register we will provide access to a sample implementation of a such a middleware. The description of the sample can be found at A Framework for Unified Dynamics Mobile Business Application Development.

The submitted material of this phase of the contenst should contain the detailed description of the architecture and structure of the mobile application, demonstrating the flow of information and the visual elements (windows, screens, activities, controls, views, etc.).

In addition there should be an explanation how the usage of the mobile app is mapped onto the the steps of the real business process (described in Phase No.1). 

The mobile client application(s) must be prepared in a code solution. 

The application could be either a native one, either a hybrid application.

For those who register we will provide access to a sample implementation for both types of clients. The description of the sample can be found at A Framework for Unified Dynamics Mobile Business Application Development.
