The first content stores were SMS services that users could subscribe to receive data alerts
As wireless data expanded beyond
messaging, feature phone operating
systems emerged and carriers created content stores to
support them
Apple changed the distribution model with its iPhone, creating an
ecosystem for consumer apps. OS
vendors followed with their stores.
Today’s smartphone is a mini-computer,
enabling businesses to create enterprise apps
for their workforce, distributed through enterprise stores
The capabilities exist in today’s devices – now users want

OPERATOR AS A MOBILE PARTNER
… and Operators are in a great position to respond because …
• Enterprise Contract – The enterprise may already be under contract to sell airtime and devices with the operator; applications become an upsell
• Mobile Expertise – Operators are experts in wireless technologies because of their role and influence in the mobile ecosystem
• Data Centers – Operators have data centers in close proximity to the enterprise user and wireless network, ensuring high availability and performance
Mobile enterprise application development and distribution becomes the core of many services that can be enabled by an operator – these become Cloud Services.

OPERATORS POISED FOR SUCCESS
Operators are in an ideal position to monetize the mobile app lifecycle.
End-to-End Solution: Operators can deliver the full breadth of services for customers to build, deploy and manage mobile apps through the entire lifecycle
Growth Market: Mobile development and management is a multi-billion dollar industry – and enterprise customers look to operators as their trusted
Turnkey Operations: Pairing leading mobile platform technology with enterprise systems in a hosted offering that can be deployed into an operator’s network, under the operator’s brand, as a turnkey appliance offers great value
