Sybase Unwired Platform Supported Application Development Patterns

NATIVE Application
Business Scenario Roles with complex interaction Occasionally connected (Offline) High degree of task specialization & data intensive offline usage Technical Patterns Self-contained: No browser/container App etc. needed Full Offline capabilities (RBS/ MBS)

CONTAINER Application
Business Scenario Roles with simple interaction Mostly connected (Online) + caching Data capture, online lookups & workflow driven processes Technical Patterns Container app (Native / Device Browser - HTML5) Designed for Online/Offline applications Backend notifications Instant queue updates (Push) - MBS Device Inbox Integration Competition : PhoneGap, HTML5 custom mobile web,

Large amount of local data possible

Complex Business Logic can be covered Leverage device native capabilities Competition : Antena, Spring

Why Lightweight application model?

Reduces cost of development

Visual development paradigm HTML5/CSS/Javascript based rendering reduces the skill-set to develop applications Applications can be developed quickly (2-4 weeks)

Enhances usability
Push enabled always available application provides users timely notification Email-like user interface makes it intuitive for end-users to use the application Web-based rendering allows for appealing interfaces to be developed Data caching mechanism on the container

Support several application use-cases

Server-initiated approvals, notification, updates etc. User-initiated alerts, notifications, transactions

Support for broad range of devices

iPhone, iPad, BlackBerry, Android & Windows Mobile
