I worked extensively in the telecommunications area to lead large nationwide mobile application and portal rollouts that included mobile platforms, applications, services and integration mechanisms. With the proliferation of smart phone and tablets, mobile devices are accessing new and innovative applications everyday and the amount of data and processing requirements have exploded. Millions of devices are being added each year. Plug in a Cloud into this situation and you can reap its benefits of on demand access and scalability. Software as a service applications are the most common ones that are being made ready for mobile devices. Vendors are now cloud enabling their applications not just for traditional access but also for mobile access since with 4G services, there is lower latency and better data storage capacity.
