  1. UB Mobile Past and present Demo of UB Mobile 2.0 Technologies used (and not used) UB Mobile Advisory Council

  2. Mobile applications “Mobile” is a lot of things Our primary focus has been on Mobile Applications and Mobile Application Development

  3. Mobile We’re in the early stages of the next major disruptive innovation…. and it’s consumer driven.

  4. Mobile Demand 70%+ of UB students own a smart phone By 2013, mobile phones will overtake PC's as the most common device to access the Web (Gartner, Inc.) E-reader and Tablet usage on the rise

  5. EZ Axess • June 2011 - UB contracted with EZAxess • quickly establish a mobile presence • enhance our knowledge of mobile technologies • to begin the process of developing a mobile strategy • August 2011 live • Mobile Web • iOS native app

  6. EZ Axess

  7. EZ Axess • We expected to replace EZ Axess within 12-18 months • We identified two viable options for replacing

  8. UB Mobile 2.0 In-House development was chosen Leverages existing skills sets and UBCMS Mobile 2.0 launch is tomorrow Mobile Web iOS Android

  9. Native App vs. Mobile Web Native App An application developed for a specific platform such as iPhone or Android. It's typically deployed to a store (App Store, Android Marketplace), and downloaded by users Can fully utilize the native features of the device

  10. Native Apps vs. Mobile Web Mobile Web Application runs in a mobile browser No download or installation Utilizes our skill sets and core business Delivering content with HTML and CSS Usually built with HTML5 and CSS3.

  11. Native “App” vs. Mobile Web So to build Mobile Web, iOS and Android versions, we would need to build 3 versions? Mobile Web version (html5/css) iOS version (Objective C) Android version (Java) Building and maintaining 3 versions in 3 different languages is not sustainable!

  12. Native “App” vs. Mobile Web We found a way to deploy all 3 versions and sustain it. This approach makes sense for us. Not a one-size-fits all approach.

  13. UB Mobile 2.0 demo

  14. UB Mobile Platform We built a platform for a mobile web site Based on UBCMS (Adobe CQ5)

  15. UB Mobile Platform Content management is key Pages built from standard content elements: lists/menus rich text images some small custom HTML blocks

  16. UB Mobile Platform More sophisticated components are mixed into pages as needed: event viewer people/departments search map viewer

  17. UB Mobile Platform Normal CMS features are used for: access control activation (author/publish) content sharing (includes) RSS feeds custom development workflow

  18. jQuery Mobile Used jQuery Mobile for “app” look and feel, page transitions Used jQuery widget pattern and web services for interactive modules (maps, searches, etc.) Would recommend full JS MVC framework

  19. PhoneGap Turns mobile web site into native app Can load embedded HTML & JS, or from server Extensions for native features (camera, GPS, address book, filesystem, etc.) Supports iOS, Android, Windows, Blackberry and more

  20. PhoneGap Build Build platform in the cloud Otherwise, would have to build for each platform separately, with native tools (Xcode, Eclipse, etc.)
