Abstract
In this term paper, I will assess the effectiveness and efficiency mobile-based applications provide to capture geolocation data and customer data, and quickly upload to processing server without users having to use a desktop system. Next, I will evaluate benefits realized by consumers because of the ability to gain access to their own data via mobile applications. Following the examination the challenges of developing applications that run on mobile devices because of the small screen size. Then I will describe the methods that can be used to decide which platform to support. Afterward I will discuss ways of providing high availability given that a mobile application requires high availability because of end users needing to have continuous access to IT and IS systems. Last but not least, I will discuss methods of making mobile devices more secure, since mobile devices are subjected to hacking at a higher rate than non-mobile devices.
Assess the effectiveness and efficiency mobile-based applications provide to capture geolocation data and customer data, and quickly upload to processing server without users having to use a desktop system. Geo location is a technology that uses data acquired from an individual’s computer or mobile device to identify or describe his/her actual physical location ("Geo location: risk, issues," 2011). Geo location is one of the most popular manifestations of the current development of information technologies and is recently experiencing a significant rise in popularity ("Geo location: risk, issues," 2011). Mobile based applications are able to effectively and efficiently collect the geolocation data and customer data, and quickly upload it to a processing server without users having to use a desktop system. Geo location makes it possible,
