1 like976 views
This document discusses challenges and solutions related to connecting mobile applications to mainframe and backend systems. It describes how mobile apps are the front-end to complex backend enterprise systems. It then discusses challenges like fragmented platforms, mobile app quality, and ensuring the right apps are built. Finally, it provides solutions such as starting with a minimum viable product, matching mobile and backend UX, separating backend architecture components, continuous testing, and integrating systems of engagement with systems of record.
