0:00 this
0:02 good
0:08 to
0:09 yes
0:11 withdrew do business better hello this is the GTV with
though
0:16 television special for mobile will compress episode 5
0:19 I'm islander could play and today I'm joined by
0:22 large can have a new CEO of Tony and Tony lavender
0:26 CO some consulting megan's discuss enterprise mobility
0:30 large we have so many smartphones around today
0:33 and I'm not sure that many of them then a suitable for
banking many people have
0:38 been using for banking
0:39 another person transactions yet is that because the
system's really already
0:44 I think this assumes that already up with its a smartphone
0:48 or even a feature phone we have vote deployments today for
0:52 0 mobile banking are
0:55 high-value transactions even for commercial banking on
smartphones and
1:00 feature phones even
1:01 across the world now you have banking solutions
1:04 on both types of phones knowing that we made me to the
region
1:08 %uh you have the van natta medical obviously Europe home at
least
1:13 no is a fact and even sought medical that
1:16 has a large published officials as
1:20 so I think market is ready for it I'll
1:23 not just for banking solutions book overall the devices
1:28 approved to be instruments all want to consume
1:31 consumption as well as transactions so
1:35 you flying about it. of %uh industrious
1:38 now targeting these devices what we call involving
everywhere which
1:43 is enabling are people too consume content
1:47 and tranza whatever they are so it's become a real time
quotes
1:51 you know increasing with that with those smartphones
1:55 but no its not just smartphones it's also tablets the
people are cutting on
1:59 tablets to be able to
2:00 XQ the same transactions so it's a very interesting
2:03 you know sequence of events that brought us to this place
2:07 and over the next few years I think as even more
transformation
2:10 in thank the prize that's going to change many enterprises
and
2:14 significantly it's
2:15 thank you a tony i I spent more time than I like to think
at Mobile World
2:20 Congress waiting for my computer to respond
2:22 is latency going to be a real challenge in all the
solutions on the
2:26 on the white latency is certainly an issue for many
enterprise applications
2:32 I'm I think do you know as a number of issues here one is
simply is spectrum
2:36 available on all
2:37 and there's a lot going on in terms of getting spectrum to
market
2:41 spectrum supplies a big issue for many regulators and
governments around the
2:45 world
2:45 but I think then the second issue is the quality at the
spectrum one as
2:49 and what technology the spectrum is running in there is no
doubt that for
2:53 many enterprise applications
2:55 both in terms of bandwidth latency and other quality
characteristics
3:00 and the ability to aggregate channels and so on Ltd will be
a big move forward
3:05 for enterprise mobility applications
3:07 does that mean we've all got to wait for oil CA to come
along I mean the loss
3:11 people talking about here but it's
3:13 is still not here yet for most parts of the world not not
in saudi know there is
3:18 a lot you can do with 3G and the later releases a 3G coming
through 3gp pay
3:23 enable you to do more I'm and as more you can do with WiFi
in particular 25
3:29 gigahertz versions have wifi which are out in the market
now
3:32 I'm beginning to to gain more traction about
3:36 Lt I think from a true enterprise mobility I'm
3:39 perspective in a wide area network is
3:42 wat what's required ultimately for a lot of things the
fight I saw
3:46 launch I guess is a lot of very complex software you need
to
3:50 in between the mobile phones and and the transaction
systems
3:55 well I don't know over that's complex something the
complexity comes in
3:59 many phones up complexity comes with the fragmentation
4:03 golf the underlying software within the phones themselves
4:07 come some complexity comes from being able to do
4:10 integration to existing core systems whether it's you or
your PC system
4:15 or core banking system or whatever you know to
4:18 a front-end application know the world over the last
fifteen years have been
4:23 developing
4:24 only on the web so it was a sofa centric word
4:27 I'll with move I'm applications
4:30 it's taught this started out as native applications so now
you have
4:34 though the emergence of clients over in many ways
4:38 and experience on the client has been driven by innovation
from people like
4:42 Apple and Google and things like that so when you think
about an enterprise
4:46 application it's no different from
4:48 any other application that enterprises perot accept that as
a flag with vision
4:52 problem in the front and
4:54 those that integration problem in the back end and you need
4:58 middleware all what people call meets
5:02 which enable you to be those applications agnostic to the
5:05 front end device a glow stick to the provisions that you
need to do
5:09 and be able to hold logic applying the appropriate places
5:13 on the client was as though made US Civil to me
5:17 bring efficiency to the petitions so it's a little
different from before
5:21 %uh the complexity in the front then and more importantly
5:25 though experience in the front and is wat
5:28 consumers are seeking and all of those looking to book
please
5:31 consumers as well and we expect that up up to come out of
5:35 applications that the president's office so you won't
5:39 a beautiful time and expense up this you know that
5:42 into what you put your time and expense you don't want it
to be
5:46 just like a page the to use today you want to look like
5:50 you know any other sexy application the use on iphone
5:53 for example so bill expectations have changed
5:57 the device is being that they don't challenges but if you
select a good
6:01 meet find the that provides use that obstruction
6:04 which you need to be logged in to post up this thank you
6:08 a Tony are you finding the so those specific writing
6:11 the lights have smartphones around now from the
6:14 iPhones and Android phones and Windows Phones &
6:18 goodness knows what else and black who is sorry blackberry
6:21 I'm I I find that have a certain users who use small
enterprise applications
6:27 should there be some
6:28 types that industry should come concentrate on
6:32 I think are you not coming back to the point abroad just
might about
6:35 abstraction
6:36 I think that's the thing which is really important in order
this
6:39 abstracting applications liar from the communication lapse
6:43 pleaded a still an issue about interfacing with operating
systems
6:48 but you know the clean out that processes
6:51 I saying come the more flexibility one gets with working
with different device
6:56 platforms I you know clearly there will be
6:59 limits and you know one of the things that will drive to
limit it just the
7:02 overall adoption a different platforms within the
marketplace
7:06 but then you come back to an issue of economics about you
know for which
7:09 platforms as economic to develop
7:11 they up both the applications themselves on the middle
where the
7:15 the make them work on which which is net so I think in that
sense to see normal
7:19 market dynamics apply
7:21 lights okay much will you a middleware expert I mean I E IU
7:25 going to have to develop stuff for each type the platform
always there with
7:29 is it do it once and applied to all and all that
7:33 though I T operating systems and what happens when they
change in new ones
7:36 comes along
7:37 whether defense like you have to pick the right by the way
the architecture of
7:41 the middleware
7:43 recall that matter where but really it's not just me who
were its board though
7:47 the client obstruction as well as the matter whether
7:50 goes with it its movie believe in a different concept
altogether
7:55 I think more by this interesting that you wanna put out
applications on your
7:58 phone's
8:00 on your tablet spark we also believe your web applications
8:04 gonna change so the web applications a big bonus chairman
for
8:09 we have html5 just lights over though
8:13 all the fuss about rich internet applications
8:16 which people try to do will never voted down the same shit
now can be a reality
8:20 so I think it what it is what we call multi-channel
8:25 which is that you you have to think about
8:28 expedience you have to think about but the content but
8:31 or transaction is being consumed all are being done
8:35 and it's going to be between your phones tablets and dust
off
8:39 so the middleware if you could call it a middleware
8:42 essentially ought to be able to put up the flight
experience
8:46 on the right phone or tablet and also the web
8:50 a sense that back at that one shot other than saying well I
have never taken care
8:54 of
8:55 I'm gonna go to war by and then the competitor put so
8:58 a great lever experience your call in all
9:02 a veritable of it all or the next
9:06 thing that's great gadget could be the next Apple TV
9:09 but you can run applications on a TV Organon applications
on the dashboard of
9:13 your call
9:14 audio wats and then you caught unawares
9:17 you know to know have another for so picking a
multi-channel approach
9:22 is very critical and thinking go for close to be
9:25 as opposed to riding up petitions for single channels
9:29 is that approach as you go forward thank you finally Tony
9:32 how secure is this when we're sitting in a cafe doing out
on sections
9:36 I've banking all all working without office systems
9:39 I'm sitting enough cafe vo me and I'm
9:42 a tough on hotel room although some big issues the industry
has to think about
9:46 while security has been an issue for some time as I think
all of us in the
9:49 industry
9:50 no I I get it comes back to how does one design these
things what is the
9:56 architecture light what techniques are actually being
9:59 applied I and also have robustly that tested
10:04 but I'm you know I think inherently one has to think this
is an end
10:07 to and application you called think about security on the
phone then you
10:11 can't think about security in the web
10:14 as got to work in two ending is going to be secure
end-to-end
10:17 and there's a lot of activity going on in industry and
indeed in the verticals
10:21 that are offering the services
10:23 to make sure that's right because the lost thing a bank
wants to do
10:26 is have its reputation trashed because the security office
mow fallen banking
10:31 up
10:31 doesn't isn't good enough make Tony Levin to thank you
very much
10:35 large commando thank you very much indeed thank you to
both of you
10:38 out on this concludes this latest episode in global
telecoms TV
10:43 to hit the Mobile World Congress with with though
10:46 on the west coast and says thank you very much everybody
now the another
10:49 episode coming on shortly
10:51 this
11:02 withdrew do business better
