The State of Mobile on IBM i - iOpener Blog - Lansa

31Jan/13

There?s no escaping the rapid pace of our evolving mobile world ? including the ensuing demand for mobile apps ? and businesses can?t afford to take a back seat when it comes deploying mobile solutions. If you?re an IBM i organization considering taking the dive into mobile (i.e., developing dedicated apps for Apple/Android phones and tablets), you might be interested in learning what other ?i? businesses think about topics related to mobile deployment, including:

• Key challenges
• Deployment obstacles
• Business benefits
• Platforms/development environments
• Budget considerations
• Deployment timelines, and much more

Sound intriguing? Well, that?s what the team at IBM Systems Magazine, Power Systems edition thought, so they decided to survey their readers to get the low down on how mobile is factoring into IBM i organizations? strategic plans. And the results are very interesting . . .

The October 2012 special report ?Going Mobile? culled responses from over 1,200 IBM Systems Magazine readers ? 31 percent working in IT management ? and focuses on mobile use on IBM i. While the overall results pointed to improved employee productivity and customer satisfaction as the top reasons for deployment, there were many other enlightening responses related to benefits, budgets and concerns ? just to name a few. In addition to highlighting the survey results, the report is complemented by comments from various IBM i IT professionals imparting their real-world concerns and experiences with going mobile.

Survey Respondents? Industries

Here?s a quick glimpse of the survey respondents and their associated industries:

• Manufacturing ? 14 percent
• Wholesale Distribution ? 6 percent
• Computer Software ? 12 percent
• Banking/Finance ? 8 percent
• Computer Dealer/Reseller ? 6 percent
• Retail/Exhibitions ? 5 percent
• Medical Healthcare ? 5 percent
• Insurance ? 5 percent

Mobile Deployment ? Concerns, Efforts & Results

While there are some understandable deployment concerns ? like security and back-end integration as well as budget restraints -- the results show that many businesses are achieving some level of mobile computing success. Of the net 83 percent of respondents that say they have deployed a mobile solution:

• 18.4 percent say the effort was successful
• 42.1 percent said they had moderate success
• 15.4 percent report that it?s too early to tell
• 22.5 percent say they had slight success
• 1.9 percent reported failures

Although 52.1 percent of respondents report that their organizations have deployed a mobile solution, 47.9 percent have not deployed. However, of those who haven?t deployed:

• 3.8 percent say they will deploy within the next three months
• 7.3 percent in the next six months
• 9.7 percent in 12 months
• 12.9 percent in 18 months

Surprisingly, the survey revealed that of those who haven?t deployed mobile, 14 percent have no plans to do so. This was especially baffling to one IT consultant quoted in the report, as he couldn?t imagine any business not having some use and subsequent benefit for mobile.

Business Benefits for Going Mobile

The survey respondents noted the following top five reasons for mobile deployment:

• Improved employee productivity ? 67.6 percent
• Better customer satisfaction ? 62.6 percent
• Competitive advantage ? 53.5 percent
• Business-process improvement ? 52.7 percent
• Greater customer retention ? 37.7 percent

See Figure 1 in the report for additional reasons for going mobile.

Budgets & Barriers

So how much is available to spend and what?s preventing businesses from moving forward with mobile?

Well, the budget picture of those surveyed looks like this:

• 9.2 percent have a budget between $25,000 and $50,000
• 9.9 percent have $50,000 to less than $100,000
• 5 percent have $100,000 to less than $150,000
• 5.2 percent have $150,000 to less than $200,000
• 5.4 have a budget of $200,000 or more
• 38.1 percent have no budget whatsoever

And, as usual with any IT expenditure, there are some obstacles and apprehension for taking the dive into mobile. In fact, the report shares one CIO?s real-world quandary regarding the realization that his company will have to develop mobile solutions at some point, and his concerns over the cost (related, for one, to a lack of skills and experience) that is preventing him from moving forward. Despite this plight, he knows mobile is the right direction to help his organization go mainstream and get ahead of the competition.

Concerns about costs also topped the list for those surveyed, followed by a shortage of in-house skills, no compelling business need and development and deployment complexity (see Figure 2 in the report for the complete list).

While cost is a major concern, it doesn?t actually have to be as the special report notes that inexpensively priced tools, including native mobile app builders, are available to help businesses quickly and easily deploy mobile apps.

Devices

How solutions are deployed and on which devices also factors into planning for mobile. The survey results revealed that tablets (37.7 percent) topped the list as the number one device for which mobile apps are being written, followed by Smartphones (34.8 percent) and laptops (15.1 percent).

Equally interesting is the number of companies that supply mobile devices to their employees (71.4 percent) and the types of mobile devices that they provide to their workforce including:

• Apple iOS devices (71.7 percent)
• iPhone (59.8 percent)
• iPad (51.5 percent)
• Android devices (50.7 percent)
• RIM?s BlackBerry (50.4 percent)
• Windows Mobile - for both phones and tablets (17.6 percent)

Key Drivers for Going Mobile

While competition didn?t score as high as other key drivers for mobile deployment, it?s definitely on the minds of respondents -- with 25.4 percent wanting to deploy mobile solutions because their competitors already have and 29.2 percent reporting that want to go mobile to become industry leaders. Other leading motives include employee, customer and business partner requests for mobile computing. See Figure 4 in the report for other leading reasons for going mobile.

Mobile Development Strategies

Besides picking a device platform, businesses need to think about which types of apps to deploy. The results for the question of which mobile development strategies are being considered are shown in Figure 5 in the report, including:

• Web apps (56 percent)
• Hybrid apps (28.1 percent)
• Native apps (24.3 percent)
• Undecided (42.2 percent)

Mobile Computing Concerns

Obviously, there are other issues that organizations must consider (as revealed in Figure 6 in the report), like security, back-end integration, complexity of deploying apps on multiple devices/platforms, coverage of wireless networks and reliability of mobile technologies just to name a few.

Usage & Real-world Benefits

Despite the concerns for going mobile, the survey results show that many businesses are forging ahead with mobile business solutions and others are planning to do so soon.

Mobile tools released to:

• Customers - 26 percent (with 35 percent expecting to)
• Business Partners ? 14 percent (with 27 percent expecting to)
• Employees ? 43 percent (with 25 percent expecting to)

Furthermore, 62 percent of respondents who have deployed mobile solutions reported having achieved positive ROI, and 22 percent say it?s too early to tell.

The Time for Mobile is Now

While I?ve touched on a few highlights from the special report here, one thing?s for certain ? mobile isn?t going away anytime soon. So, if your business has been on the fence about deploying mobile ? or (as one IT consultant noted in the report) if you?re thinking that you have 18 months from now to begin your efforts ? you?ll be missing out on a tremendous opportunity to improve your applications, cut operational costs and attain substantial ROI. So, take a look at the full report and make it your New Year?s resolution to get your mobile deployment plans in place now.

Theater Reads: The Business of the Art ? What's My Call Time?

A few blogs and articles I found interesting this week: ? all in the vein of handling artistic entrepreneurship.

?

?

Did you go into theatre because you had no head for business? Let the re-education begin.

If there?s one thing I?ve learned in the nearly five years I?ve spent in New York, it?s that most successful actors have some semblance of their shit together. The reason we make labor service representatives smile is because they know they won?t have to worry about us sitting on our butts. If you?ve worked consistently as an actor, chances are you have employed some level of business strategy in your daily operations, whether you know it or not. It?s not all luck?there just isn?t enough of that to go around. As fellow actor Noah Brody, a?Brown/Trinity Repertory Company?alumnus and founding member of?Fiasco Theater, told me: ?Hoping to win the lottery is not a business plan.?

A dozen theatre artists (and those who teach them) share tips, and tales, and becoming entrepreneurs

Why should I choose you over someone else??That?s the question a good entrepreneur obsesses about. You should do the same. The alternative?is?being seen as ?just like everyone else.?

Theatremakers talk of blood, sweat and tears, but are they enough?

Connected to the need for business acumen is the need for these theatre makers to adopt an entrepreneurial identity. The research identified a need to develop a skillset suitable for?a portfolio career, where theatre makers can market and sell themselves and their work, and where they can develop portable skills and networks. In other words, they need to self-identify as professionals, with principles of entrepreneurialism and production skills as well as emotional commitment to their work.

Tornado watch in Triad; flash flood warning north, west

Emergency officials performed multiple water rescues in the mountains and foothills Wednesday night, and winds caused many trees to fall in the Triad.

At least 2 inches of rain fell in most of the higher elevations, and more than 4 inches of rain fell at official reporting stations in Ashe and Watauga counties.

Emergency officials performed at least four water rescues took place in Boone alone, and many streets were closed. Not long after the rain subsided, snow showers were forecast to fall in Boone.

Several mudslides were reported in Carroll County, National Weather Service officials said.

A few school districts decided to close or delay opening Thursday. | Closings - Web | Closings - mobile

In the Triad, the biggest obstacle from the storms was wind. Gusts of 45 mph or greater caused multiple trees to fall in Forsyth, Guilford, Davie and Randolph counties.

NWS received reports of a tree on a house south of Lake Townsend and an outbuilding blown down in Franklinville. However, power outages never got above 1,000 in any county.

Gut microbes at root of severe malnutrition in kids

Jan. 30, 2013 ? A study of young twins in Malawi, in sub-Saharan Africa, finds that bacteria living in the intestine are an underlying cause of a form of severe acute childhood malnutrition.

The research, led by Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis and reported Feb. 1 in the journal Science, shows how dysfunctional communities of gut microbes conspire with a poor diet to trigger malnutrition.

The discovery is bolstered by additional studies in mice, showing that gut microbes transplanted from malnourished children cause dramatic weight loss and alter metabolism when the animals are fed a nutrient-poor diet.

"The gut microbes of malnourished children and malnourished mice do not appear to mature along a normal, healthy trajectory," says senior author Jeffrey Gordon, MD, director of the Center for Genome Sciences & Systems Biology. "Feeding the children and the mice a high-calorie, nutrient-rich food had a temporary, beneficial effect on their gut microbes, but not enough to repair the dysfunction. Our results suggest we need to devise new strategies to repair gut microbial communities so these children can experience healthy growth and reach their full potential."

Childhood malnutrition is a common problem in Malawi, and while a poor diet clearly plays a critical role, it is not the only factor. Scientists have long puzzled over why some children are afflicted by the condition but not others, even those in the same household who eat the same foods. This has led to the realization that a lack of food alone cannot explain its causes.

The standard treatment is a peanut-based, nutrient-rich therapeutic food, which has helped to reduce deaths from the condition. But the new study shows that the therapeutic food only has a transient effect on the gut microbes. Once the therapeutic food is discontinued, the community of microbes in the intestine and their genes revert to an immature state, in the children and in the mice.

This may explain why many malnourished children gain weight when they are treated with therapeutic food but remain at high risk for stunted growth, neurological problems and even malnutrition and death after treatment is stopped, the researchers say.

The new study followed 317 sets of twins in Malawi for the first three years of their lives. During this time, half of the twin pairs remained healthy, and in the others, either one or both twins developed malnutrition. The researchers focused on children who developed a form of malnutrition called kwashiorkor. The illness is associated with swollen bellies, liver damage, skin ulcerations and loss of appetite, in addition to wasting.

The researchers were particularly interested in twin pairs in which one twin remained healthy and the other became malnourished. This occurred just as often in fraternal twins as identical twins, pointing to a factor other than human genes.

So, Gordon and his team looked to another source of genes -- the microbial genes in the gut. These genes extract nutrients and calories from the diet, synthesize vitamins and nutrients and help shape the immune system.

In Malawai, the typical diet consists of a corn-based porridge that lacks sufficient vitamins and minerals. When a child in the study became malnourished, the standard of care was to give both twins the therapeutic food to limit food sharing.

This allowed Gordon to track the gut microbes just before, during and after treatment with the therapeutic food. While the food seemed to kick start maturation of the gut microbiomes of the severely malnourished children, its benefits were only temporary. Four weeks after the therapeutic food was discontinued, the gut microbiomes of the malnourished children either failed to progress or even regressed, while those of the healthy co-twins continued to mature on a normal trajectory.

Delving deeper, the researchers transplanted the gut microbes from healthy and malnourished co-twins into groups of germ-free mice that had been raised under sterile conditions.

Mice transplanted with malnourished children's gut microbes and that ate a typical Malawian diet experienced substantial weight loss, while those that had the healthy twin's gut microbes and ate the same nutrient-deficient diet did not. And although the microbiomes of the "malnourished" mice did mature when they were fed the therapeutic food, they tended to revert to a malnourished state when the village diet was resumed.

Looking more closely, the researchers found that mice with the gut microbes transplanted from a malnourished twin carried some species of bacteria associated with human illnesses, including inflammatory bowel disease. Moreover, the combination of a nutrient-deficient diet and a malnourished microbiome altered carbohydrate and amino acid metabolism, and reduced the availability of sulfur, which may contribute to weight loss. In addition, a central metabolic pathway for extracting energy from food also was disrupted.

"These findings suggest that energy metabolism may be a bigger challenge for these children when they are exposed to a nutrient-deficient, low-calorie diet," Gordon says.

Moving forward, the researchers plan to conduct additional studies to further define the role of the gut microbes in severe malnutrition and explore ways to permanently repair the gut microbiome so sick children can overcome the long-term effects of severe malnutrition.

"There is much more work to do," Gordon says. "It may be that earlier or longer treatment with existing or next-generation therapeutic foods will enhance our ability to repair or prevent the problems associated with malnutrition.

"We are also exploring whether it is possible to supplement the therapeutic food with beneficial gut bacteria from healthy children, as a treatment to repair the gut microbiome," he explains. "We hope that these studies will provide a new way of understanding how the gut microbiome and food interact to affect the health and recovery of malnourished children."

Deutsche Bank posts $3.5 billion loss to pay for clean-up

FRANKFURT (Reuters) - Deutsche Bank posted a $3.5 billion quarterly loss as it took legal and restructuring charges aimed at drawing a line under past scandals and boosting its capital position in a tougher regulatory and trading environment.

Germany's biggest lender, which said in December it would take a "significant" restructuring charge, said on Thursday it made a fourth-quarter pretax loss of 2.6 billion euros ($3.5 billion).

The bank said its priority was to build up a better safety cushion, cutting back on risky assets to free up capital.

Its core tier one capital ratio under Basel III rules rose to 8 percent at the end of 2012, from under 6 percent at the end of 2011, a move that helped dispel investor doubts about the need for a fundraising.

"The most important message is that there will be no capital hike," said Guido Hoymann, an analyst at Metzler Securities.

"The positive surprise is that Deutsche Bank's core tier 1 ratio jumped to 8 percent in the fourth quarter and they could now achieve 9-9.5 percent by year-end 2013 and comply with Basel III fully ... well ahead of deadlines."

Banks across the world are slashing costs and selling or writing off weaker assets in a bid to meet tougher regulations aimed at preventing a repeat of the 2008 financial crisis.

Many, including Deutsche Bank, are also battling to rebuild their reputations while being investigated for scandals such as the manipulation of benchmark interest rates.

A LONG JOURNEY

Strong operating results were overshadowed by a 1.9-billion-euro goodwill impairment to pay for Deutsche Bank's new divisional structure and to hive off underperforming assets into a "non-core" unit, where they could be either run down or sold.

The bank also announced 1 billion euros in litigation charges in the fourth quarter, reflecting "adverse court rulings and developments in regulatory investigations."

In volatile trading, Deutsche Bank shares were up 0.7 percent at 37.4 euros by 0850 GMT.

"There is the hope that the bank has packed all the bad news into 2012 and can now start afresh in the new year," said one Frankfurt trader.

Deutsche Bank said the new non-core division would house 125 billion euros worth of assets that either eat up too much capital or fail to throw off sufficient profits.

Much of the impairment was due to revaluing those assets, with the bulk - 1.2 billion euros - attributable to the corporate banking and securities unit (CB&S), its main investment banking arm and traditionally a strong performer.

CB&S posted a quarterly pretax loss of 548 million euros.

"We embarked upon the path of deliberate but sometimes uncomfortable change in order to deliver long term, sustainable success for the bank. Simultaneously, we set the bank on course for fundamental cultural change," co-chief executives Juergen Fitschen and Anshu Jain said.

"This journey will take years, not months," they added.

Chief Financial Officer Stefan Krause played down the legal problems, saying peers had similar issues. "The tale of legal liabilities is fairly typical," he told analysts. "The regulatory and litigation environment remains challenging."

Analysts had expected Deutsche Bank to report a fourth-quarter pretax profit of 116 million euros, the average of seven estimates in a Reuters poll of banks and brokerages showed. It was not immediately clear whether the analyst estimates had factored in goodwill impairments.

The bank's net loss for the quarter was 2.2 billion euros.

Since the end of 2011, the bank has reduced headcount by 2,777, the results showed. The group is in the midst of a restructuring drive designed to achieve annual cost savings of 4.5 billion euros by 2015.

Vinci Tab II

The Vinci Tab II ($199.99 direct, 8GB) looks almost identical to the original Vinci Tab. And while Vinci addressed some of the original's shortcomings, it's not nearly enough to stave off the recent rise of kid-friendly Android tablet?competitors. The price for the tablet itself and the additional content is still too high, especially considering its dated software and hardware. Unless you're absolutely sold on the Vinci educational content, which is actually quite polished, you'd be better off with the Fuhu Nabi 2?or a Kindle Fire or Kindle Fire HD with Amazon's FreeTime mode for kids. And if you are dead set on a Vinci, I'd recommend the smaller Vinci Tab III M.

Design and Features
The Vinci Tab II looks nearly identical to the original Vinci, with an angular slate tablet suspended within a rigid, red rubber ring. It's a unique design that adds durability and acts as a handle for little hands to grip the tablet easily. Unfortunately, the tablet is pretty hefty?including the rubber bumper, the Vinci Tab II measures about 10 by 7.3 by 0.8 inches (HWD) and weighs 1.46 pounds. It's bigger and heavier than the Nabi 2, which itself was on the large size for a 7-inch tablet. Along the bottom edge is a micro USB port and microSD card slot. There are two speaker ports on each side and a rear-facing 3-megapixel camera around back. ?

The 7-inch, 800-by-480-pixel display is passable, but well below average for a tablet this size and price. It's the same resolution found on the smaller, 5-inch Vinci Tab III M. The screen gets bright enough, but text and image details lack sharpness and the viewing angle isn't very wide. Touch response was a bit delayed during my tests, and, oddly, on a few occasions, the Vinci Tab II would register a scroll as a pinch-to-zoom gesture. Below the screen are the three typical Android Menu, Home, and Back buttons for navigation.

Unlike the original, the Vinci Tab II adds Wi-Fi connectivity, but only on the 2.4GHz frequency. The Tab II comes in a single 8GB model, and our 32 and 64GB SanDisk microSD cards worked fine for expanding storage.

Android and Content
The Vinci Tab II shares similar specs with the smaller Tab III M, with a single-core 1.2GHz Cortex A8 processor. It performed similarly to the Tab III M, but the M benefits from more smoothness and polish thanks to its more up-to-date version of Android.?

The Tab II is running a very dated Android 2.3.5 "Gingerbread" with Vinci's custom kid-friendly skin. In many ways it looks and works the same as the Tab III M. You still get the Parent and Kid modes, which are, on the surface, identical. The key difference between the two is that the Menu button opens extensive options for app and tablet management in Parent mode, while all options are disabled in Kid mode. Unfortunately, like the Tab III M, the Tab II has some glaring holes when it comes to the sandboxed kid-friendly experience. Holding the Home button in Kid mode opens up the recently opened apps list, and if parents forget to close out of items like the browser or Settings menu, kids will have free reign to surf the Web and change the tablet's settings. Both Fuhu and Amazon have more comprehensive kid modes that lock out features more effectively, while Amazon's FreeTime even lets you set time limits on usage.

As far as content goes, Vinci's original apps are very polished compared with competitors. Vinci packages its content in curriculums and the Tab II is pre-loaded with preschool levels 1 through 3. Also included are three Vinci made story books and 20 music videos. The apps are almost all educational, teaching skills through voice prompts and touch interaction. My biggest complaint is that it's not always completely obvious what you're supposed to do. For example, in a number of apps, if you happen to miss the short voice prompt in the beginning, you get little additional guidance. Where other kid-friendly models preload a bunch of games and entertainment-focused content, the Vinci is decidedly focused on educating children, which many parents might prefer. Amazon doesn't include any educational content, while Fuhu includes some good educational content, but it's not quite as polished as Vinci's. The Vinci curriculum targets kids as young as one-and-a-half years old, and introductory apps teach language skills. For example, the first level shows a typical child's bedroom with various items and toys scattered about. Touching an item activates a voice prompt that identifies the item.

Another issue with the content is the price. The original Vinci Tab had a subscription style content distribution system, and since it lacked Wi-Fi, you had to purchase content through Vinci to get it on your tablet. The Tab II is not subscription based, but adding curriculums can cost anywhere from $89.99 on the low end to $179.99 at the top end.

You also get the Google Play app store and its selection of hundreds of thousands of apps on the Tab II. Vinci's focus is on education, so if you want to add some entertaining games you can do so through Google Play. Keep in mind, however, most graphic-intensive games will trip the Tab II up.

Conclusions
The Vinci Tab II is bulkier, more expensive, and runs on older software than the Vinci Tab III M, which itself isn't even that strong a contender in the kid-friendly tablet space. If you're sold on Vinci's educational content, I'd recomment the III M over the Tab II. But the best overall child-centric tablet experience can be found on the Nabi 2, which is the same price as the Tab II, but has specs that put it in the same league as full-fledged tablets like the Google Nexus 7. Alternatively, get the Amazon Kindle Fire or Fire HD and set up FreeTime mode, which offers great parental controls for restricting apps and setting usage limits.?
