Abstract
Enterprises are aggressively eyeing ubiquitous mobile solutions to increase the efficiency of their taskforce, but this exercise is hindered by several functional and technical challenges. For instance mobile devices are widely different in terms of their underlying platform capabilities, available screen real estate, input mechanisms and so on. In this work we introduce mConnect, a Context aware real time Mobile Transaction Middleware which manages this device diversity in an efficient manner. mConnect abstracts the complexities of the mobile world from the existing infrastructure and seamlessly helps in extending/ creating internet based transaction solutions for mobile users with minimal or no modification to the backend. This in turn accelerates the adoption of the mobile device as a default channel to access the Web.
