Running Your Enterprise Like a Software Company
Every business today is a software business. Whether software is the product being sold or the tool that powers mission-critical activities every day, how enterprises leverage the solutions they create can make or break their success.
Technology enables innovative upstarts to be faster, nimbler and more agile, empowering them to both disrupt existing markets and create entirely new ones. The good news is that you don’t need to reinvent the wheel to keep up—you just need to implement some of their tools and best practices.

How to Simplify Application Usage & Deployment with Microapps
Microapps are playing a key role to unlocking organizational agility. Productivity
improvements come from delivering focused experiences streamlining how a
user interacts with organizational applications. IT costs are controlled by reducing
work required to ship new functionality. Further, existing apps can at times be
replaced by microapps, helping to clean up organizational digital clutter—all
while enhancing the user experience.
The best way to get started with microapps is to have a consultation with our
subject matter experts. We’ll help you understand what the possibilities are with
microapps, as well as discuss tradeoffs. We can initiate a limited duration Fastrack
innovation cycle where we do the initial implementation then train your team to
continue building microapps from a known point of success. Or, if preferred, we
can handle the full cycle of development.

Now, modern enterprises are being tasked with building comprehensive digital teams, with each developer bringing unique skills and specialties to the table. How well this team is constructed can play a huge role in the success of a company’s broader digital efforts.

Why You Need a New Mobile Architecture
Great user experiences today and in the future will be embodied in mobile apps, responsive web applications and interactions with the Internet of Things. The need for these great user experiences has already transformed the way consumer applications are designed, built, delivered and maintained.
The same consumers are now demanding similar experiences from enterprise applications. New enterprise applications have to be what Forrester calls “Systems of Engagement,” where the focus is on elegantly adapting processes to people instead of focusing just on the processes themselves.

Kinvey Cloud Services Security Overview
Security and privacy are major concerns when it comes to enterprise mobile applications. In fact, many enterprises are only moderately confident about the efficacy of their mobile security controls and policies.
The use of a secure, enterprise-grade mobile backend-as-a-service (mBaaS) solution alleviates these security and privacy risks by isolating and protecting enterprise data sources and networks from client applications running on untrusted devices and their networks. The Kinvey application development platform has been built to the highest security standard.
This document details Kinvey's security practices, including:
• Network security
• Monitoring
• Device communication security
