IBM WorkLight

IBM WorkLight - a product helps to create the open complex platform for development, accomplishment and processing of mobile applications on HTML5, hybrid and native applications.

IBM Worklight can assist in expense reduction on development, service of applications, to accelerate products output to the market and to expand abilities to manage with mobile applications and ensuring their security. As a part of IBM Worklight five components:

• IBM Worklight Studio is the complex multifunction environment for expanded development of cross-platform mobile applications.
• IBM Worklight Server is the middleware optimized for mobile technologies. Serves as the gateway between applications, a back-end and cloud services.
• Dynamic client program interfaces (API) intended for expansion of safety features, management and also for increase in convenience of using are IBM Worklight Device Runtime Components.
• IBM Worklight Application Center allows to configure the corporate application store managing distribution of ready mobile applications.
• IBM Worklight Console is the administrative graphical user interface (GUI) for the server, adapters, applications and services of sending push-notifications helping to operate mobile applications, to monitor their work and to implement them in production.

IBM Worklight solves problems:

Support of several mobile operating environments and devices

• Use of the standardized technologies for work with external libraries and Wednesdays allows to avoid the translation of the code, the closed interpreters and unpopular scripting languages.
• One configuration allows to unroll a product on many platforms and to quickly create mobile and multichannel applications.
• Support of platforms Android iOS Blackberry Windows Phone Windows 8 Java ME, mobile and desktop environments.
• Different working interfaces allow users to work on different devices conveniently.
• The integrated testing aids of mobile applications help to reduce the number of long processes of testing manually.

Communication and synchronization

• Simple and convenient connection to data on the server, to applications and cloud services.
• Conversion of initial data of the enterprise to the JSON format convenient for use with mobile transactions, for further synchronization, enciphering and local storage in mobile devices.
• For caching, synchronization of data and enciphering the expanded mobile middleware is applied.
• Masters allow to work with available server services of SOAP and SAP Netweaver Gateway and to automatically create the code for integration.
• Collecting of location-based data by setup the politician for acquisition and use of data in batch mode and sendings them only as necessary allows not to overload mobile resources.

Means of protecting of mobile applications

• Confidential information protection from the malware and in case of theft of the device.
• Ensuring timely distribution and use of important updates among all set copies.
• Identification combination on several factors, a uniform input (SSO) and SSO on the device and also integration with the existing means of identification and security.
• Safe installation and accomplishment of mobile applications on own devices of personnel and also on devices which are not allowed to be used in corporate network.
• Management of the list of the permitted and prohibited devices for control of installation of mobile applications and their remote blocking.

Portfolio management of mobile applications from the centralized interface

• Management of distribution of applications and separate versions and also direct updating of versions.
• Management of sending notifications via the single centralized interface.
• Creation of reliably protected covers for the standard strategy of naming, protection and data access.
• Obtaining information on use and response time of a system using the built-in analytical means allowing to trace performance of the working applications.
• High readiness and possibilities of deployment in a private cloud for systems — IBM WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment and IBM PureApplication Systems.
