Platform services to

enable your apps

Apps that

Are hardbecause

Mobile speed and scale requires new integration and database approaches for app developers

Outside the network’s protection, mobile apps and data require specific governance

They require constant user feedback, monitoring and release of revisions

Mobile apps must capture, interpret and act on disparate context sources in real time

Make good apps great through mobile platform services

IBM MobileFirst Platform delivers rich services and then integrates them for an end-to-end experience for mobile development and operations teams
