Enterprise Challenges
SecurityMoving to remote connection raises new risks
ConnectivityCost, reliability, secure, ‘up to date’ enough
ManagementDevice ownership, tracking, policy and provisioning
DevelopmentTools and skills
Remote AccessAccess Enterprise resources securely
Virtual Private Networking802.1x for WiFi
Internet-facing Enterprise serversHTTP(S) access to content and web services
Connectivity:Socket support over WiFi, GPRS, 3G, Bluetooth, IRDA etc.Web browserTerminal Services Client (PPC)
Data Capture vs Data DisplayInput is hard on small screens
Hardware and software innovation are making input easierCareful application design requiredMinimize input, maximize usability
Data display advantagesInformation at the point of ‘sale’Data search is often the first step
Data capture advantagesData is captured at source Stay in the decision loop when on the road

Device Management
Summary
Microsoft Message Queuing
Enables reliable communicationsSystems may be temporarily offline
Reliable, once-only and in-order delivery
Message QueuesOn device or at a remote location
Supported on Windows 2000, XP and 2003
Also available on Windows Mobile devices
For Pocket PC and SmartphoneNew managed libraries now available
Key Differences
Subset of desktop implementationCannot read messages from remote queues
Independent client – no directory access
No coordinated transactions via MS DTC
Single message transactions for sending
Can only create local, private queues
Supports NIC trackingExceeds desktop MSMQ capabilities
Retry message delivery on network reconnect
Installation
Separate downloadRedistributable Server Components for Windows Mobile 5.0

Summary
SQL Mobile Overview
Fully-relational DB in 2-3MB footprint
Powerful data synchronization technologyRemote Data Access
Merge Replication
Tight IntegrationVisual Studio .NET 2005
SQL Server 2005
Secure (HTTPS)
Support for WM 5.0 Smartphones
SQL Mobile New Features
Storage engineRe-written to further optimize for mobile
Multi-User support
ACID transaction support
Auto re-use of empty pages
Query ProcessorCost-Based OptimizationExecution Plan and Query HintsSqlCeResultSet updateable scrollable cursor
Synchronization
Remote Data AccessPull operation from table or stored procedure
Tracking off - return results of SQL statement
Tracking on - pull directly from a table
Push Changes Back to Server
Merge ReplicationInitial snapshot from SQL Server 2005
Data can be modified on device and at server
Changes reconciled on next synchronization
