“Mobile application users today are incredibly spoiled,” said Latiolais, president of the Oracle Development Tools User Group. “They know how they want their apps to work, mostly like their handheld apps work. They know that they want to organize their workflows around the task, not the underlying computing system.” Latiolais is senior programmer analyst with SC Global Tubular Solutions, a Sumitomo Corporation subsidiary specializing in OCTG supply chain management.
With mobility comes a whole list of risks in security and data integrity, challenges for business intelligence, integration barriers between applications and devices and more, said King, ODTUG director. In addition, user interfaces have to be more than functional, “they have to be cool,” he said. “That’s a tall order, and it calls for multi-faceted developers.” |
