When one considers the brave new world of responsive web design and mobile applications, there is nothing more important than ensuring enterprise security. Data access, security policies and personal, data and network access protection is key to providing appropriate security, mitigating business risk and ensuring government and legal compliance regarding privacy and data protection for consumers, employees and stakeholders.

RWD

In the first of our two-part article series, entitled ‘Awesome Responsive Web Design (RWD) Part One: The Devil is in the Details!’ we discussed some of the challenges and considerations of building a high performance, heavy data centric, multi device mobile business solution. In the first article, we reminded our readers that Software Product Development and, in particular, Product Development, Management and Support (PDMS) must include a serious consideration of RWD and software usability improvements.The concept of Responsive Web Design encompasses differing techniques such as Adaptive Web Design, RESS (Responsive Design with Server-Side components), and responsive delivery. These techniques incorporate client-side code, multiple device templates, and cloud-based code transformations that stretch far beyond the scope of RWD. “Responsive” has simply come to describe techniques and technologies in which a unified set of website code produces Web pages optimized for multiple devices based on screen size and device capability. How a site achieves this unified state is becoming less and less important.

Business Intelligence

The business intelligence (BI) solution market has expanded and deepened, with new products, features and modules added every month. Some solutions are cumbersome, expensive and time-consuming to implement and adopt. Other solutions are browser-based, intuitive and flexible. Some BI tools are easy to learn, and practical and affordable to implement with great ROI and TCO. But, when a business is considering a business intelligence solution or if a business wants to migrate to or upgrade from another BI system, how can the management team determine the efficacy, efficiency and practicality of that solution without spending significant time and resources?The fact is that business intelligence solutions may have sophisticated features, but those features may be inaccessible to the average user or may require that users modify how they work to suit the process and flow of the system. The solution may be difficult to integrate, thereby disallowing data from other enterprise sources like ERP, CRM, SCM systems, HR solutions, legacy systems, or other disparate data sources. A BI solution might not support flexible reporting or allow for quick and easy customization to meet new needs.

In the old world of interface design, technical teams paid little attention to the user experience, and so the typical packaged software or website interface lacked flexibility and was rarely intuitive. As a result, users needed a lot of training. In the new world of interface design, the issue of mobility has compounded and complicated the user experience.
