A Mobile SharePoint?
I want an app!
The Current Solutions
Mobile Support in SharePoint Server 2013• Mobile views
– Contemporary – Classic– Full
• Mobile Alerts• Device channels• Push notifications• BI content
There are a few challenges….
I would like a native experience
And a better user experience
SharePoint authentication from mobile devices(Claims, Windows) is a pain on the…..
With mobile we need new levels of authorization and access control: Apps, Devices?
API, client libraries integration from mobile apps is not exactly trivial
Content usage & data visualization best practices is really needed
And every enterprise mobile app needs backend capabilities other than SharePoint. Ex: Storage, logging, integration with other systems…
Is not about pre-built apps. Is about leveraging SharePoint as a platform
As a mobile developer….
I don’t need to understand a SharePoint infrastructure
I would like a simple model to integrate with SharePoint without becoming a SharePoint expert
As an IT Pro….
I would like to manage the mobile SharePoint experience in the same way we manage other mobile apps
We need a mobile middleware?

Introducing the enterprise mobile backend as a service
Enable backend to mobile apps in the form of cloud services
Abstract the complexities of mobile backend using a consistent development and management experience
mBaaS= Cloud-Mobile Services + Mobile SDKs + Management Console
mBaaS != PaaS
PaaS are not mobile-first platforms
Mobile-first?
App centric infrastructure
MBaaS App = Services (Compute) + Infrastructure (Storage)
MBaaS services must be context-aware(ex: location)
MBaaS should focus on simplify the development and management of mobile apps
MBaaS should support native mobile services (ex: push notifications, SMS)
