10 MobileFirst Platform in a nutshell Feature IBM Mobile App Builder Instant Cloud Provisioning & Simpler Architecture The Most Comprehensive App Security Framework Live Update, Incremental Updates & Improved Problem Determination Mobile Analytics Out-of-the-Box API Creation and Management Improved Push Notifications Support Latest Mobile OS Foundation Benefit Get the business to show you exactly what they want, auto-generate code according to their requirements, then work your magic to make it come to life. Get dev and test environments up and running in minutes meaning you get unleash your creativity sooner and show those luddite business users what you can do. Get started with samples, and use a configuration-based approach to adding comprehensive OAUTH based security to your app, including step-up authentication, app authenticity checks, and multi-factor authentication. Empower admin to make changes to backend settings and configuration without you so you can concentrate on your app. Use the Live Update framework to A/B test your app, toggle features Live, and dynamically segment content to the user profile all without rebuild, re-deploy and re-submit. Collect dozens of app, network and infrastructure metrics out of the box to help you troubleshoot problems. Drill down to individual devices to grab logs to diagnose issues. Create Node or Java microservice APIs with the Loopback framework and manage them with IBM API Connect. A single push notification solution to send messages directly to devices or using publish subscribe to broadcast. We take care of adding support for all the latest OSes so you can concentrate on something else IBM Corporation 10

13 MobileFirst Integration with Adapters MFP Adapters are used perform any necessary server-side logic, and to transfer and retrieve information from back-end systems to client applications (ex: Mobile) and cloud services. Adapters can be written in Java or Javascript (HTTP or SQL Adapters) Fast development, Security (Authentication), Transparency (abstraction layer) SOAP/REST Web Services Integrated WS Server (RPG/Cobol Web Services) Integrated Application Server (Java + jtopen) Access Control (MobileFirst) Access Control (IBM i) Direct DB2 Access Jtopen jdbc driver In this demonstration: HTTP Adapters & REST API created in RPG & Java. IBM i is never directly exposed to the internet. REST/SOAP choice for exposing IBM i services to external apps 13
