Next Generation Mobile Solutions for the Enterprise
Mobility is a top priority for many businesses as a means to
drive innovation, streamline operational efficiency, and develop
new business models. The next generation of mobile business
solutions is expected to be defined by greater levels of openness,
agility, and access to critical business information, while still
maintaining required levels of security. The joint mobility
solutions from Red Hat and Samsung Business Services intend to
deliver on those needs and help businesses advance and accelerate
their mobile initiatives.
Samsung Business Services and Red Hat plan to deliver:
- Business applications: A series
of enterprise-ready industry-specific mobile applications that will
run on the Red Hat Mobile Application Platform and address key
workforce management and business tasks, such as business
intelligence, field and customer service, inventory management and
sales catalog, pricing, ordering, and invoicing. The applications
will be designed so that they can optionally be customized and
tailored to fit the needs of an organization’s unique needs. The
mobile applications will run on Android and other operating
environments via the Red Hat Mobile Application Platform, and will
be configurable to integrate into common enterprise back-end
systems.
- A developer ecosystem: Tools and
resources to build and nurture a new ecosystem of enterprise
partners and developers to promote rapid innovation and
availability of solutions that meet both current and emerging needs
in mobility.
- Support services: Integrated
support for customers and partners, Enterprise Mobility Management
(EMM), and global delivery and support services for the Red Hat
Mobile Application Platform.
- Business collaboration: Red Hat
and Samsung Business Services plan to actively engage in joint
go-to-market activities for the solutions developed through the
alliance.
The initial phase of the alliance will be focused in the
U.S.
