Happy as hell :-) With phonegap integration its like Christmas..

Does this PG work alongside Sencha? Do I have to sacrifice one or the other?
Also can I still make use of the installable modules like login, etc?

]]> Comment on The current challenges of enterprise mashups, and their promising future by Eric Samson http://blog.convertigo.com/2010/09/07/the-current-challenges-of-enterprise-mashups-and-their-promising-future/#comment-4 Fri, 17 Sep 2010 09:18:22 +0000 http://convertigoems.wordpress.com/?p=280#comment-4 John,

It is important to understand why Enterprise Mashups are less hype than they used to be in 2008.
With regards to this, clarification from Gartner and other analysts is certainly welcome.

The power of “business programmers” have always been overestimated in the past.
Even with simplest visual tools, business users often feel uncomfortable with programming.
Until now, Enterprise Mashups have been too much positioned against IT (I mean too much towards end-users).
Anybody can easily play with consumers mashups, this is just composing simple public online services and feeds, there is no big impact on the “real” business.

Enterprise mashups is all about dealing with critical enterprise resources, like legacy mainframe applications and pre-SOA Web applications with no services. That is why Convertigo offers different tools to different populations: one tools for developers to develop widgets connected to critical enterprise systems and one tool for power-users to easily combine internal and external widgets together. That way IT governance is enforced and users (or developers) can still quickly deploy situational composite applications.

We think this clean separation of concerns is required to avoid transforming “Enterprise Mashups” into the next oxymoron.
There is nothing wrong in learning from previous mistakes and clarifying positioning. Let’s refine that market and then boost it, because users (and developers) need such technologies.

Several articles, not only from Gartner, have been recently published about the fact IT and developers should not be forgotten in the mashup world. Our customers are telling us the same story, every day. Mashups are for all citizens, enterprise mashups are a different beast.

In conclusion: we do offer tools for business analysts and power users, but our customers and the market are telling us that in many cases these tools will be also used by developers to quickly deliver tactical composite applications.

Best regards, Eric.

In fact Mashups are the plumbing which is the means to the end. No great surprise that the end user wants the Apps. So when we pitch mashups, we need to pitch “what” they produce. If you think mashups have to stay developer centric it’s only because you haven’t created tools for the business analysts.
