[Fishbowl Solutions WebCenter Accelerator] [ADF Mobile]
[Portal, Content And BPM/SOA]
At Fishbowl Solutions we’ve been focusing heavily on Mobile solutions over the last 4 years – working on both award winning native and hybrid apps as well as adaptive and responsive web sites and portals for tablet and mobile devices. Last year we decided to expand our reach with ADF Mobile and Cordova based hybrid applications targeting the WebCenter Suite for Android and IOS (as well as Blackberry, Microsoft for those using plain Cordova or IBM Worklight).
Both Oracle and Fishbowl offer a suite of powerful Native apps available on the Android Google Play and IOS iStore; however these solutions to date are not extendible or brand-able from Oracles side or require customizations and consultancy services from Fishbowl Solutions to extend and enhance the native apps to meet unique client requirements.
With the Oracle ADF Mobile Framework java developers and clients can now easily pull together hybrid applications within JDevelopers visual app designer; however and unfortunately there are currently no Oracle supported open ADF Mobile application for the WebCenter suite that allow clients to easily extend and enhance existing functionality for their corporate users running on mobile devices – and currently the WebCenter apps are not targeted to provide the clean User eXperience for mobile devices and lack features like offline or native device support.
All existing WebCenter Apps that clients want mobile access too, now have to be rebuilt for mobile devices as either native or hybrid applications like the ADF Mobile Framework – so at Fishbowl we’ve decided to build out Fishbowl supported mobile app accelerators for WebCenter Spaces, Content and BPM/SOA (More to come on our Mobile Roadmap). That will allow both your Marketing (Web designers with no ADF knowledge) and ADF Mobile Development teams to extend and quickly and easily customise, enhance and build mobile applications that provide all of the key out of the box features that come with the WebCenter Suite more importantly if you don’t have a requirement for any of the modules these can easily be switched off until you need to enable them in the future – these can also be packaged as a single unified app or multiple individual applications based on your requirements.
The core Fishbowl WebCenter accelerators (Portal, Content, BPM/SOA) are packaged and cannot be customised directly this is so that we can send out software updates as we follow our roadmap for more integrations and accelerators to all our clients without the need to worry that our core accelerators have been tweaked – what we do provide is a key set of APIs and templates that enable you to easily extend, enhance, brand the application as well as create or extend the UI or User Flow of the app to support and integrate with customised bespoke client WebCenter services or custom portal taskflow services or even third party core business applications – empowering you to manage and maintain the app whilst we at Fishbowl provide the key core support, services and UI Shell for future WebCenter OOTB releases.
