What happens when you mix a legacy app with
some virtualization, add some hocus pocus and
you come out with a mobile App?

Refactoring
• Take the legacy part of an App and make it
modern
• Original still exists but look/feel and behavior
may be different to customer

Delivering an App: Reality
- 49. @bmkatz
What is A BaaS
• New type (?) of middleware
• Decouple front end development from back end
changes
• Don’t produce a traditional app (build 70-85% of
the app)
- 66. @bmkatz
Appifying the Enterprise
• It’s the data stupid
• Build an API to access the data
• Wrap identity around it
• Build apps that access the
data through the API
• Get Security involved in the
beginning
• Know what you’re building for
(Biz Objective & User Needs)
- 73. * Your employees are your customers too!
It’s all about the use case!
How do you REIMAGINE the
process to make it easier for your
customers!
- 82. • Still have many single use apps - but infrequent
use
• Single pane of glass (App) for the easy stuff
• Much more productive
