| Cellpoint Mobile’s MEF is an architectural framework that enables large and medium enterprises to integrate mobile technology into existing enterprise backend systems, including legacy business applications. The MEF consists of modules, products, data repositories, SDKs and APIs. The framework itself and the individual components are all designed to extend mainframe and large open systems environments into the mobile space, enhancing the data management solutions already in place. And because the MEF reuses existing investments, enterprises can efficiently deliver business processes and services to mobile devices almost instantaneously. The MEF creates a communication and management layer that enables businesses to control the mobile channel within a Multi-Channel Access Gateway (MAG), thus eliminating the problem of siloed systems in a multichannel environment. This solution also allows IT departments to create and enforce an architectural, rather than a tactical approach to multichannel mobile/fixed solutions. The end-user, management, cost and security benefits of MAGs are significant. Based on established protocols and processes, the MEF ensures that IT departments can reuse existing security policies to control the data flow to and from the mobile channel. All communication with the mobile channel is routed through the Mobile Enterprise Service Bus, which audits connections based on the security policies defined in standard Enterprise Security Managers. The framework also fully supports SOA architectures such as SAP SOA and IBM® SOA for z/OS® and may be integrated into older versions of IBM’s enterprise operating systems such as MVS. Cellpoint Mobile’s MEF allows enterprises to mobilize business processes and services and to create mobile strategies and solutions that optimize cost, control churn, manage payments and increase sales. IBM and z/OS are registered trademarks of International Business Machines Corporation in the United States, other countries, or both. |
