Ability to streamline processes and be more portable and enhanced capabilities such as touch interfaces, location and mapping features, alerts, texting, cameras, and video functionality
Design need to be proper in order to meet efficient processes and successfully deliver the benefit.

2: How does user requirement definition for mobile applications differ from that in traditional systems analysis?

Requirements analysis, also called requirements engineering, is the process of determining user expectations for a new or modified product.

Requirements and mobile experts said there are three critical issues that are unique to mobile apps and should be addressed in the requirements phase:
Choosing a platform
Security
usability
Choosing a platform

When defining mobile app requirements, teams first need to determine which hardware and operating system the application will run on.
This is not applicable for developing enterprise desktop applications. If the organization uses Windows desktop, the application is built to run on Windows.
For more applications; many organizations allow employees to access corporate from their own mobile devices.

Security
Security requirements for mobile apps are not the same as those for enterprise apps. That’s because people are regularly taking sensitive data outside the corporation. Not only are they exchanging data on insecure networks, the devices themselves tend to be insecured and tend to get lost.
A number of requirements must address how data will be protected. E.g: how customer ensure that data remains secured on a device that the organization does not their own? How do the customers maintain visibility of corporate data without visibility of personal data?

Usability
Regardless your requirements must strike a balance between protecting data and maintaining user-friendliness. The application developer must make sure that security requirements aren’t making the user experience awful.
It could even spell success or failure of an app. The user experience will be mirrored by the rating of the app in the app store, and negative ratings can be the source of significant sales losses.

3: Describe the business processes changed by USA A’s mobile applications were deployed



The business processes after the applications were deployed would be much easier than before as follows:
Auto Insurance app (accident, report and claims app)
Able to send geographic information system (GIS) data to a towing service and display nearby car rental location

case study : IS SOCIAL BUSINESS WORKING OUT?

IS SOCIAL BUSINESS WORKING OUT? 1. Identify the management, organization, and technology factors responsible for impeding adoption of internal corporate social networks. Management:  Employees that are used to collaborating and doing business in more traditional ways need an incentive to use social software. Most companies are not providing that incentive: Only 22 percent of social software users believe the technology to be necessary to their jobs. Organization:  Companies that have tried to deploy internal social networks have found that employees are used to doing business in a certain way and overcoming the organizational inertia can prove difficult. Enterprise social networking systems were not at the core of how most of the surveyed companies collaborate.

Technology:  Ease of use and i
