Mobile workforce can now access their company’s private space containing from anywhere unlike before where this information was available only with the enterprise environment.

Corporate intranets are an indigenous system that supports the organization as a channel of communication with its employees. This system is effective and quick as the distribution or information exchange process is done with no traditional hazards like employees meeting in person or work together on a single project within closed walls. The organization database and other relevant information is streamlined with the incorporation with intranet facilities. Adding on to all the positive traits of intranet provision, the disadvantage is that this access point can be tapped by unauthorized miscreants and the private information can be leaked to the public or manipulated. With the solution developed to access the intranet web content via mobile phone, it is not only easy to access the desired information but more secured too. The solution involved development of a middleware through which critical information from the Intranet can be mobile enabled so that it can be accessed even when the employees are on field and away from the office on their mobile devices.

In the process of development of the malware, the most critical challenge was to be careful that there is no compromise of the data available on the intranet. The option available was to create native application residing on the mobile devices which could connect to the Enterprise environment and fetch the data using secure protocols.

The solution is so crafted that the functionality is perfected in depth to suit all the types of the devices used by the employees across the globe. In true sense, the work environment is made available even on the move to the workforce that is a part of an organization that has successfully leveraged mobility into their enterprise.

The share point environment is accessed effectively with an accurate design and development of the middleware for interaction purposes. The XML based markup language, the Collaborative Application Markup Language (better known as CAML) is being used in building and customizing web-sites based on Windows SharePoint Services.

Retrieving List Items with CAML using the SharePoint Object Model is not being used in this implementation to do away with the limitation of the middleware deployment, which otherwise has to be deployed within the SharePoint environment. This enables the middleware to be deployed anywhere outside the SharePoint server. The middleware deciphers the request coming from the device and presents the mobile webpage for the particular device.

Mobility is the most required technology in all verticals. Employees are no more within indoors working for the organization. With a strategic consulting with mobility companies, the management and the workforce of an enterprise irrespective of business vertical can undoubtedly expect a better productivity from the workforce and an impressive ROI.

The solutions developed for the corporate intranet will not only ensure a secured path for sharing private information but also makes sure that the data is not exposed to public nor can be manipulated by the hackers for personal or corporate destruction. The people associated with the company looking at mobile work environment will definitely appreciate the functioning of the solution. The very intention of this solution is to safeguard the corporate intranet and to offer information to the intended users from any point.
