Drupal Mobility Straw Poll 1. Is mobility important to your clients or organization in conjunction
with Drupal?
2. Is there ever a need for native mobile apps? What about Digital Experience Management?
3. Have you lost business to Adobe’s CQ5/Phonegap (or similar)? Or to another dev shop that offered integrated web and mobile services? – We certainly have. On multiple occasions.
4. If you could easily deliver Drupal-driven mobile apps, what would that be worth to you? – How to deal with the “fuller” stack developer problem?
A Case for Native Apps
• http://techcrunch.com/2012/09/11/mark-zuckerberg-
our-biggest-mistake-with-mobile-was-betting-too-
much-on-html5/
While doing so, to retain the ability to create naDve applicaDons for mobile today and pervasive compuDng tomorrow:
Native Mobility Challenges
Exploit On-‐Device
Capabili3es
Develop and Deploy
Rapidly
Using Available
Skills & Tools

The full-‐stack developer problem just got fuller – compounded by another order of magnitude.
Cross-‐plaSorm mobile development today for enterprise workflows is hard, Dme-‐consuming and expensive.
The Enterprise Mobility Challenge
Development tools for native mobile apps are not deeply integrated with enterprise information systems
At the same time new devices such as Google Glass and Smart Watch are proliferating.

Drupal + m2Serve Vs. Others
m2Serve is visual, open, deeply integrated, supports more device categories and does not force a choice between hybrid versus native.
Current solu3ons fall short: We solve:
• Textual and not visual development (IBM, PhoneGap, Xamarin)
• Visual: drag-‐and-‐drop development and deployment.
• Template-‐based, not extensible (Appery)
• Open: Fully customizable and extensible
• Shallow enterprise integraDon (All)
• Contextual: integraDon with enterprise back-‐end systems
• No support beyond phones and tablets (All)
• Pervasive: Support for devices beyond mobile phones and tablets
• Only Hybrid/HTML5/CSS (IBM, PhoneGap, Appery)
• Comprehensive: True naDve, hybrid, HTML5/CSS.

• This module extends Drupal Web Services by automating a few tasks
such as generating custom web services for each content type or views.
• You don’t need the m2Serve studio to leverage this module for your
Drupal-as-a-Service web application – use it with your favorite mobile
dev tool, or anything that needs to consume WS APIs.
