Introduction
6. Mobility in Government
A land of opportunity fueled by mobility and connectivity
7.Mobility in Government
We’ve all come to expect easy mobile access
in our daily lives. We like to be kept informed
of what’s going on, be notified of events that
impact us, be able to reach out to others, and
act—all while on the go. Why should citizen
interactions with government be any different?
The growth of high-bandwidth mobile services
and the public’s fast smartphone and tablet
adoption provide the opportunity for a new era
of digital government. Federal, state, and local
agencies can now reach more of their citizens
with far richer mobile applications to provide
essential services, enhance quality of life,
ensure public safety, and encourage economic
growth. And the citizens in turn can reach
government agencies and officeholders more
directly to address their needs and concerns.
Government agencies strive to provide digital
government solutions to constituents, but
also face the needs of their own workforce.
The rapid growth of personal devices and
remote connectivity needs as well as bring-
your-own-device (BYOD) programs drive
mobility initiatives for both internal and
external needs. Developing a secure, robust
mobility platform is the foundation from
which to build a mobile strategy.
Moreover, government can’t afford to not
become mobile. Economic downturn and
finite public funding sources make current
government operations unsustainable.
Providing for this new requirement enables
increased productivity with agency personnel
and more efficient leverage and use of data,
which presents opportunities to streamline
operations, increase worker productivity, and
manage costs.
Read on to see what our government clients
are already doing with mobile and learn
how HP helps address the key challenges of
implementing digital government.

10. Mobility in Government
21st century government: Mobility enables progression Today we are seeing a digital government creating greater efficiencyandproductivitythroughmobile technology.
Government is finally getting in step with its
constituents and employees who, increasingly,
lead lives that are mobile, hyper-connected,
interactive, immediate, and fluid. It’s a new
world where connectivity dominates daily
routines, everyone expects immediate
gratification and instant results, and where
government agencies must respond to
continuous opportunities and requests. Digital
government is the corresponding new model
for enabling greater productivity, efficiency,
and collaboration in public services. And
mobility plays a major role in creating it.
What does digital government look like?
The overarching characteristics of digital
government is the electronic availability of
information and services, and how its agencies
interact with the public. The result is a higher
level of responsiveness to public needs at
lower cost of operations. Further, digital
government is more transparent in how it
prioritizes, funds, and provides services.
Removing the distance barrierGovernment decisions and actions are often
too far removed from the people who are
actually governed and affected by those
11.Mobility in Government
decisions. But public access to decision-makers
via ubiquitous mobile access encourages
citizen engagement, greater accountability,
and more representative government.
In addition, the people who make government
decisions often struggle to find and gain
access to the critical data they need. Mobility
helps make information transparent and
accessible to all parties and every agency. The
ability to collect and store more digital data,
apply analytics to it, and disseminate it via
mobile-based “nowcasting” can enable better
decision-making, policy, and regulation.
Social powerOnce the data and services have been made
available, a conversation will quickly ensue that
connects citizens with government, engages
them in an active dialogue, and provides an
integrated feedback loop to the governing
body so it clearly understands the desires and
wishes of the constituencies represented.
The resulting global social networks can be
used to quickly and seamlessly disseminate
information and can lead to an enlightened
and more engaged participatory electorate.
Everyone talks of increased transparency and
accountability, and these social tools could help
make a stronger, better government.
More meaningful interactionsA 21st century government would directly
connect governments and citizens in more
personalized and meaningful ways with
greater speed and efficiency and perform the
activities to better meet our needs—where,
when, and how we want. The ability of mobile
devices to collect and share information will
enable mass hyper-personalized interactions
and provide more of a custom fit. Current
interfaces are often created for the lowest
common denominator, but interface and
interactions will morph based on the needs and
context of the user through the use of mobility.
Enabling government employees with mobility
options will also open the door to efficiency
gains and provide them with the ability to utilize
continuous access to relevant information. This
will not only enable BYOD initiatives, but also
allow these resources to work remotely from the
network and data center ties as necessary. And
they can still perform their job functions within
the secure capabilities provided to them through
this new medium.
A digital government will bring forth a
people renaissance that would be devoted to
designing software for users and optimizing
that experience beyond a functional nature. It
would enable unique experiences where people
are connected with information to meet their
specific and individual needs.

12. Mobility in Government
The changing digital ecosystem for government Seldom do people interact with a government agency directly. Only about 20% of the U.S. government’s digital communications are aimed at citizens. It’s important to keep in mind that government needs and the digital ecosystem that supports them are unique.
Rethinking primary interactions
The old way to communicate was for a
government agency to publish information
on a website. Then partners could access,
download, and consume it when they needed
it. The new way, enabled by mobility, lets
information be directly consumable at the
point of action where it can have the biggest,
most useful impact.
Greater transparencyTransparency doesn’t just make most
government information easily accessible
and directly consumable by partners and the
public. It also opens a two-way street where
people can provide actionable information to
government. For instance, many city 3-1-1
systems have already gone mobile to allow
people to post images, descriptions, and
locations of things that need to be fixed, from
potholes to graffiti. Government agencies are
also better able to “crowd source” solutions
from the public.
Unbound informationWith cloud-enabled mobile applications,
government information can be pushed to
wherever it’s most useful. A disaster relief
operation, for example, can be expedited
by an agency focusing different streams of
information between the people working in the
field and their support systems.
13.Mobility in Government
Changing infrastructureThe recently released Federal Digital
Government Strategy document noted several
changes coming to the digital ecosystem that
will impact government operations:
• More people will have access
to high-speed networks.
• People are becoming IT literate
and digitally dependent.
• Everyone is more mobile.
People are continuously upgrading their
own digital capabilities and expanding
digital participation for work activities and in
their private lives. The government has the
opportunity to mine the “big data” generated
by all that digital communication to fashion
new and more targeted government services.
HP is working with government clients to move
beyond the posting paradigm to a new digital
ecosystem for government.

14. Mobility in Government
Mobility helps provide citizen-centric public services It’s no surprise that smartphones are emerging as one of the preferred means for people to access government services. That parallels the way the public is using mobility to access commercial services and is in fact becoming the center of people’s digital lifestyles. This trend toward mobilityoffersmanybenefitsinfosteringapositive,moreeffectivegovernment-citizen relationship.
Mobility helps meet rising demands from
constituents for easier access to information
and a simplified approach to interacting
with government agencies. It provides
the opportunity to make public services
truly citizen-centric by enabling people to
immediately contact the appropriate agency
from wherever they are, to make themselves
heard, and to receive a quick response.
Mobility can also empower citizens by
providing information about their legal rights
and available public assistance so they can ask
for help when they’re facing a situation on the
go. Further, mobile solutions are advancing
in step with other technologies—including
social media platforms, big data analytics, and
wireless-enabled sensor networks—enabling
government to provide citizens with more
useful public services.
Government benefits directly from mobility
by reducing complexity in agency processes.
It provides greater efficiencies within agency
operations as well as the opportunity to
provide more self-service options to citizens.
And it helps reduce both costs and errors when
interacting with the public.
Engage government on the go
At a basic level, mobility can extend public
services that are already being provided
over the Internet to reach people wherever
and whenever they need them. They provide
15.Mobility in Government
greater immediacy in the citizen-government
relationship, where people can speak to
government and receive a quick response so
they know they’ve been heard. These services
are expanding as both agencies and their
publics discover their usefulness.
Further, the capabilities of smartphones and
tablets enable a richer, more personalized
citizen-government interaction. For example,
the imaging capabilities of the phone can
help people more accurately convey the
current situation to an agency, whether it’s
some graffiti that needs to be removed or
a downed power line that threatens safety.
And the geolocation capabilities of the phone
can provide precise directions for agencies to
send help or to provide directional guidance to
individuals or groups.
Empower citizens in the field
A person’s legal rights, and the government
programs that can aid them, should not
stay entombed at the courthouse or agency
office. People need to know about them when
they’re actually confronting a situation. Mobile
solutions can help.
For example, one U.S. government agency
is beginning to provide its services via
smartphone with help from HP. Home-buying
information and calculators, grant applications
for community groups, a process for filing
housing discrimination complaints, and many
other services, are now available via mobile.
This mobility initiative recognizes that many
people do not have computers, but they do
have smartphones. And that requires the
development of a seamless user experience
that can work well with both.
16. Mobility in Government
Multiply agency effectiveness
The pace of mobile device development
(smartphones and tablets) and their
market adoption is exciting by itself. But
when combined with other technology
advancements the possibilities for citizen-
centric public services become truly stunning.
For example, consider the multiplier effect of
combining mobile apps with wireless sensing
systems. The HP Labs Central Nervous System
for the Earth (CeNSE) program aims to build
a planet-wide sensing network using trillions
of tiny, cheap, tough, and exquisitely sensitive
detectors. Sensing nodes the size of a pushpin
can be stuck to bridges and buildings to warn
of structural strains or adverse weather
conditions. A mobile app can warn drivers of
dangerous conditions captured and analyzed
by a CeNSE-enabled government agency.
These sensors become more interactive with
the environment to provide richer computing
experiences. They also can be embedded
in everyday electronics and might track
hospital equipment, sniff out pesticides and
pathogens in food, or even “recognize” the
person using them and adapt. Mobility helps
make the collection of this real-time data
useful to the public. The device’s geolocation
capabilities can be used to identify who needs
the information the most while not flooding
the citizenry with data that doesn’t pertain
to their location or situation. And automating
government processes through a combination
of mobility and sensing produces measurable
efficiencies that agencies can benefit from.
Develop for a new environment
The work HP is doing in developing mobile
apps for government has yielded several
important lessons. To begin with, everything
in mobile apps development is interlinked.
It’s not just about the phone or its operating
system, but must also include the back-end
IT architecture as well.
And public expectations are higher for mobile
apps compared to what they were willing to
accept with older, PC-based services, higher
than what many government agencies are used
to. A new focus on the user experience and the
interactive design may prompt agencies to re-
think their existing processes.
Finally, remember that on-demand, mobile-
based government services are inherently high-
traffic apps that need to be rigorously tested
to avoid failure when released to the public.
This establishes two critical success factors for
developing citizen-centric mobile apps:
• First, an agency will need to implement
stronger end-to-end development standards
moving forward, including the user
experience and security. When architecting
a mobile app, proper categorization of
sensitive versus public data is critical.
• Second, efforts are often needed to build
group consensus within the department
on how the app would perform and how a
person would interact with it to realistically
set public expectations. Remember, there’s
no value to an app that isn’t used.
17.Mobility in Government
Turn to proven solutionsAgencies often turn to HP because of our
long experience in running government
data centers, our successful track record in
implementing a wide range of technology
solutions, and our leadership in mobile
development. In particular, HP has strong
insights into legacy IT environments that are
critical for the new mobilized services to work
properly and deliver value to the public.
Follow a proven processHP follows a proven process to help agencies
build a healthy mobile ecosystem internally to
control and manage the public app through a
three-phased development project. (See the
“Mobilize your government’s applications”
article for specific HP offerings.)
1. Mobilization strategy consulting—HP
helps agencies prioritize requirements for
security, mobile device management, and
bring-your-own-device policies, and then
helps develop the appropriate solution.
2. Enterprise mobility management—We
next help determine priorities for developing
applications to smartphone operating
systems and how the app would be published
for the public. This encompasses the device,
storefront, content, identity, operations, and
the backend IT architecture, including cloud.
3. Mobile application services—Finally, HP can
determine the quickest, most cost-effective
way to develop and test the app itself.
Deliver a trusted user experience HP also knows how to build the app the right
way by creating a compelling user experience
that can win over stakeholders and achieve high
public adoption. For mobile apps, the visual
design often drives the architecture discussion.
HP can help the agency to better understand the
back-end part of the application so it can make
the right judgment call on which features and
functionality would really work.
That informed analysis helps create an app
that can meet the public’s expectations and not
just deliver one that is only visually appealing.
With this proven success, governments can
then move forward with new features that fully
leverage the rich capabilities of smartphones
and tablets.
Five keys to success
The lessons we’ve learned from working
with government agencies yields five keys to
mobile success:
1. Focus on the user experience.
2. Embrace the cloud.
3. Consider the business benefits.
4. Have a singular operational purpose.
5. Plan to redesign your business processes.

Mobility drives greater efficiency and better outcomes in healthcare

Governmenthasalwaysplayedasignificantroleindrivinghealthcaretechnology forward. Its promotion of health initiatives through the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Federal Drug Administration, and otheragenciesinfluencetechnologyadoption.Asdoesitsroleasadirectpayer through the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.
But perhaps the federal government’s
strongest health technology impact is as
a direct provider of healthcare through
the U.S. Department of Defense, Veterans
Administration, Bureau of Indian Affairs, and
other agencies. Here, mobile apps have been
shown to enhance the efficiency of providing
healthcare by giving both providers and
patients better access to information at the
point where they can make the best use of it.
And even better outcomes can be achieved by
taking advantage of the location capabilities
built into most mobile devices as well as sensor
technologies to add context awareness and
provide data on health conditions.
On-the-go healthcare
Various market forces are driving the
opportunity for mobile apps in healthcare.
Consumerization, the extensibility of existing
technologies, and the rapid expansion of
mobile devices coupled with cloud services
are accelerating adoption. Both physicians
and patients are on the move with mobile,
and healthcare apps can help agencies keep
up with them.
Smartphones help facilitate the
administrative aspects of healthcare
delivery. For example, patients can access
their personal health records and health
insurance information on their phone devices
in a secured (encrypted) manner. As they
enter a new medical facility for treatment or
consultation, their device could be queried for
health data on the patient and then—after
the patient approves—uploaded into the
admission record for administration and the
electronic medical record for the doctor.
20. Mobility in Government
Information at the point of decisionBut the effectiveness of mobile healthcare
apps are not bound by the four walls of the
hospital. The HP Advanced Federal Healthcare
Innovation Lab (AFHIL) has been pioneering
new solutions that bring appropriate context
to a situation involving a patient who is
considering the purchase of an over-the-
counter medication.
HP created a demonstration mobile app
called MedCheck that compares a patient’s
unique health profile with the medication
to be purchased in real time. Rather than
trying to read and decipher the small print
on the packaging, the patient can scan the
medication’s bar code with a mobile device,
such as a smartphone.
Via connections to multiple cloud services, the
app then consults a medical terminology web
service to display the medication’s therapeutic
intent. Combining this information with the
patient’s personal health record (PHR), a
decision support web service determines if there
are any possible contraindications or warnings
based on potential adverse interactions with
current medications, allergies, or conditions.
The patient can then make an informed choice.
And the doctor and healthcare provider can be
updated on the decision.
The app knows where it’s atAs in the example above, users can manually
enter data into their mobile device about their
location, request information for the task, and
coordinate with others via voice or text. But
now mobile apps are transitioning from this
self-entered context to solutions recognizing
the context of the user—either patient or
provider. The system can infer who, what,
why, when, where, and how just from knowing
21.Mobility in Government
the user’s location and other contextual
elements. Then it can adapt to changing
behavior in real time as situations evolve.
Further, with cloud networking capabilities, a
wider range of information can be brought to
bear at the point of action.
Real-time location systems
One of the primary context-aware solutions
HP has been investing in is real-time location
systems (RTLS). Healthcare is an early example
of where HP and our partners have created
end-to-end solutions consisting of various
hardware sensor technologies, software
controllers, integration adapters for healthcare
systems, and analytical solutions for making
sense of the new data. These solutions help
drive more transparent location-awareness of
equipment and people within hospital settings
to help create more efficient and effective
clinical workflow.
More efficient operations, better patient outcomesSensors can track the patient’s entire hospital
experience from admission, to the doctor’s
examination, to specialist services, to the
operating room and the ward, and to discharge.
At each point, the right staff and the right
resources are made available.
Sensors are always on the job, even in a less
linear patient experience. If a patient falls
out of bed, for example, these systems can
recognize the changed patient context (on the
floor and can’t get up), can locate the nearest
nurse, and automatically pull up patient
information for a doctor’s tablet device.
Microsensors expand the patient encounterGoing further, microsensor-based solutions
can create an embedded sensor network that
extends the healthcare interaction between
providers and the patient. Common everyday
items such as furniture and clothing can host
microsensors to collect data on a patient’s
heart rate, blood pressure, sleep patterns,
physical movement, and other vital signs
to update the physician. This helps counter
one of the biggest deterrents to successful
healthcare outcomes—the patient not
following discharge instructions.
The more we can extend the idea of the
“patient encounter” for the provider, the more
we can cut healthcare costs. Mobile apps,
RTLS, and sensor technologies help us better
manage chronic conditions without scheduling
more in-person doctor visits. And we can cut
down on the number of hospital readmissions,
a high-cost item in patient treatment.

22. Mobility in Government
Mobilizing emergency preparedness, response, and cleanup
23.Mobility in Government
To all the other negative impacts of an emergency situation—power outages,flooding,transportationshutdowns,propertydestruction,andmedical crisis—we can add another one: information starvation. Failing to providecriticalinformationtopeoplecaughtupinanemergency,thefirstresponders rushing to their aid, the volunteers who come in afterward to help heal the wounds, and the public at large, can be just as destructive as the other impacts because it aggravates all of them. But implementing mobile apps for emergency services can provide greater warning of impending emergencies to the public, help responders better coordinate theirefforts,andfacilitatethecleanup.
Leverage trends in mobility
Emergency communications services have
traditionally been the domain of the landline
public telephone system (for reverse 9-1-1
warnings) and public safety land mobile radio
networks (for responder dispatch). High-
bandwidth public cellular networks now provide
another option. Although these networks can be
temporarily knocked out in a severe emergency,
there are ways to quickly work around that
using emergency backup power, Cell on Wheels
(COWS), and other infrastructure solutions.
More significantly, on the device end, the rapid
consumer adoption of smartphones provides
new opportunities for better collaboration
and coordination of both responders and
the public. And although we can’t control
the cellular network, we can build security
into the mobile app itself to protect sensitive
information and remove this final barrier to
using public wireless networks for emergency
communications.
Warn the public
Mobility can be used to broaden Reverse
9-1-1 capabilities beyond a person’s landline
phone number (which is tied to a physical
address). Instead they can be reached
immediately via cellular wherever they are so
they don’t miss the warning.
Further, so-called “geofencing” coordinates can
be set around an incident area and broadcasted
to the public to help people avoid it. For
example, motorists can be notified to avoid
the area of a freeway crash or residents can be
notified to not return home in case of a wildfire
moving through.
Get public inputCommunicating with the public is not a
one-way process. People also can use their
smartphones to report suspicious activity,
downed power lines, or send an image of an
emergency situation so the responder has a
better idea of what they’ll find on the scene.
24. Mobility in Government
And crowd sourcing and then sharing the
information in context (for example, if you are
within a certain radius of the accident) is much
more reliable than static or historical data.
It’s important to note that social media
is developing just as fast as smartphone
technologies and they’re interlinked. This
provides the opportunity to track a broader and
ongoing set of conversation data inputs and
even public sentiment analysis. Public safety
agencies can use that information to deploy
their resources more effectively to address an
incipient emergency.
Coordinate response
In today’s environment, responders are
dispatched to an incident but are often
information starved when they get there. This
can stop them from taking immediate, effective
action because they have to ask for more
information via radio or person-to-person first.
But mobility lets us get information quickly
into a responder’s hands where it can make
a difference. And not just information from
within their own organization or response
level (city/county/state/federal) but also input
from any person or agency that has critical
information, even if the responder has to go
outside traditional channels. Mobility enables
the responder to obtain layers of information
from various sources to gain a more complete
vantage point.
For example, responders can find out what
chemicals are stored at a burning manufacturing
plant by contacting the owner or a regulatory
agency. Or, they can check weather forecasts
to anticipate wind direction that might shift a
fire’s path, or use “plume forecasting” to see
where the air is going to get bad, and then alert
both emergency crews and the public. Mobility
helps ensure both the public safety and the
responder’s safety.
Break down silosLarge emergencies usually require a multi-
jurisdictional response and they’re tough
to manage. Mobility can bring disparate
departments together and enable an effective,
coordinated response.
For example, the GPS capabilities of the
smartphone can be used to locate and identify
emergency crews from different departments
or agency levels that are in danger of being
run down by a fire. The same capabilities can
then be used to identify and activate nearby
resources that can come to their aid, or alert
the crew to get out and direct them toward the
best path to safety.
25.Mobility in Government
Provide post-emergency assistance
Agencies hand off responsibility to relief
organizations, such as the Red Cross, after the
emergency is brought under control to help
coordinate the provision of temporary housing,
food, water, and other assistance. But when
the volunteers arrive, they often find complete
chaos. Mobile apps can be used to bring order
to the situation by swiftly organizing the
efforts of volunteers. People can use their
smartphones to register to help out by listing
their skills, availability, and location. Group
efforts can then be coordinated, directed, and
tracked in real time.
And the bring-your-own-device (BYOD) trend
is a boon to volunteer organizations, who
typically don’t have much of an IT budget.
The public’s adoption of smartphones
helps increase the volunteer organization’s
effectiveness without straining its resources.
Top down or bottom up
For many agencies, mobilizing emergency and
other public services will just be an extension
of what they’re already doing via the Internet.
Or they may be extending existing high-level
wireless communications among agency
heads down to the field level. In either case,
having a centralized focus encourages better
collaboration and communications among
departments. It helps break down the silos
between government agencies, and between
government and the public.
But this is in many ways a bottom-up
transformation as well. Information is now
easier for the public to access and consume
with their smartphones. And it’s easier for
them to send rich data (including images)
to an agency. For responders, BYOD policies
enable field-level communications versus the
old top-down way of land mobile dispatch.
And BYOD is a much more palatable option for
organizational IT budgets.

27.Mobility in Government
Keeping employees mobile, agile, and at the forefront of technology It’s become a wireless-enabled mobile world, for employees in government service as in all other sectors. This is partly due to the access mobility provides to back-endITinfrastructureandofficeapplications, to institutions, and to other people.
More importantly, the advent of smartphones
enables a far richer level of mobile
engagement for employees. This is critical
since the most important success factor for a
new mobile app is that users rapidly adopt it.
There’s no organizational value to an app that
doesn’t get used.
Mobility helps government employees be more
efficient in how they do their jobs, comply with
agency processes, and collaborate with their
peers. And it supports greater responsiveness
in the way they can provide government
services to the public. Moreover, government’s
embrace of mobility helps recruit and retain
tech-savvy young people for public service.
Make government employees more efficient
Mobility for government employees
boosts their productivity in a number of
important ways. First, it reduces idle time
when complying with internal processes or
collaborating with peers. In many cases, this
is just an extension of an existing web-based
application to a mobile device.
For example, an agency may have an online
portal for employees to process travel requests
and for supervisors to approve or disapprove
them. A mobile app can extend that to
wherever and whenever the person has time
to work on it. Further, mobility helps expedite
urgent requests so they don’t pile up for
processing and create unnecessary delays.
28. Mobility in Government
Provide a rich user experienceAnd those apps can provide a rich user
experience no matter where the employee
accesses them. This is partly a benefit
of advanced smartphone features, high-
bandwidth cellular networks, and pioneering
cross-platform and native app development
processes. But a rich user experience is also
supported by the way mobility focuses data
streams from several sources at the point
where they can provide the greatest utility
to the employee.
Enable better decisions and faster actionEmployees often need some guidance
before they can act. Mobility helps them
provide their supervisors with accurate, real-
time information on the situation they’re
addressing to support better and faster
decision-making. In many cases, this is just
because mobility enables them to route
information more quickly. But, increasingly,
employees can send richer data that
leverages their smartphone’s data collection,
imaging, and geolocation capabilities.
Mobility also enables better collaboration with
peers by helping to share more up-to-date
information in an integrated feedback loop.
This can be particularly powerful when mobility
is combined with social media. We should
also note that mobility enables employees to
better collaborate across agency boundaries
and levels of government, and bring the public
directly into the loop when appropriate.
Recruit the best
In addition to increasing the productivity of
current employees, mobile apps help recruit
and retain younger employees who bring a new
cultural and technical perspective to agencies.
An agency’s own use of advanced mobile
solutions, and other popular platforms such
as social media, conveys that new hires will be
able to communicate and interact with people
in a way they’ve become accustomed to. It
sends a message that the agency knows how
to effectively use state-of-the-art technologies
and is friendly to the digital lifestyles they
enable. For example, a recently introduced
mobile app that HP developed for the armed
forces enables recruiters to embed themselves

Mobilize your agency
34. Mobility in Government
The mobility challenges for government agenciesWhen thinking of enabling a mobile infrastructure, security can’t be overlooked. Using new techniques discussed in this publication, you will discover how security may be used to protect agency data assets.
But here are some other challenges that have
to be addressed:
• Device diversity—Both employees and
citizens are adopting a wide range of mobile
devices in a trend called “bring you own
device” or BYOD.
• Cost containment—Creating mobile apps
for this diversity of devices can quickly drive
up development costs without a good cross-
platform process in place.
• Speed to market—User needs are
constantly evolving and how quickly new
apps can be released to all the devices is a
key consideration.
• Performance—Government mobile apps
should take advantage of the full capabilities
of the device to maximize user productivity.
What we’ve learned
Mobile solutions to achieve faster
organizational responsiveness and greater
cost-effectiveness have already been proven
in the private sector and in many government
implementations. Here’s what we’ve learned.
Mobile doesn’t act aloneOur many client engagements have shown that
mobility can’t be implemented as a standalone
solution. It has to be mapped to transformation
of organizational processes with a focus
on redefining the systems of engagement,
improving outcomes and simplifying operations.
New metrics must be implemented to drive
results and propel the removal of layer upon
layer of complex processes, systems, and rules.
Mobility is good at capturing and sharing
information, and then quickly processing that
35.Mobility in Government
data to enable more meaningful interactions
between users. This is key to achieving
adoption by constituencies both inside and
outside of government.
Meet the citizens where they areAll organizations have to respond to the
ubiquitous trend of mobile-based services.
Designing a compelling user experience
is critical to the public’s quick adoption of
the service. And it has to be made broadly
available over the full range of devices,
operating systems, and service providers. This
calls for strong cross-platform development
capabilities and rigorous testing across a broad
range of devices.
Leverage the latest technologiesThere is a fundamental shift occurring in
computing today that is the convergence
of multiple disruptors such as social
networking, open APIs, semantics, cloud,
and user experiences. The intersection of
this convergence shift with the ascendance
of mobile access provides the potential to
fundamentally reshape our thoughts in how we
collect, analyze, use, and disseminate data.
The technology leadership of HP Labs,
from sensors to cloud, is at the forefront of
connecting people via mobile and enabling
people-centric computing. Our cloud capabilities
in particular are increasingly important in
enabling a seamless, secure experience that
allows people to interact with data across
different devices in a consistent manner.
HP has done pioneering work with sentiment
analysis and other key features used on the
mobile platform. By leveraging some key
technologies and using mobility, we’ve helped
governments become more effective, from
fighting fraud to enabling next-generation
healthcare experiences.

Implementing your mobile strategy
37.Mobility in Government
Have you created a strategy for the introduction of mobile technology into your organization? One of the most exciting technological changes over the past few years is the convergence of mobile and cloud platforms, which allows users to access applications from devices such as smartphones and tablets while retaining the actual executable and data in the data center. This combination promises to deliver critical information to the point where a government employee can best use it to serve the public while allowing citizens to consume information through these new ubiquitous channels.
But government employee needs for mobility
are unique. Network connectivity cannot be
assumed—remote locations may not be within
a coverage zone or a natural disaster can render
networks inaccessible. Another issue that
agencies struggle with is the possibility that
devices could be lost or stolen with potential for
unauthorized access to applications or data.
So, before creating your strategy, careful
consideration must be given to several factors
to create a safe and optimal experience. As
you plan to mobilize, don’t start with the
technology; begin by thinking of the employees
and where they work.
Understand your user
The first step in preparing your mobile strategy
is to create profiles or “personas” for your
community of users. Without gathering factual
information on how and where the users will
be using mobile devices, applications decisions
will be based on assumptions, which frequently
can be erroneous.
Consider the following questions, as a
minimum, for each mobile community:
• Who is the community of users that you are
targeting?
• Will the user be providing their own device
or will you be assigning the device?
• What applications or functions (such as
email, calendar, and contacts) will they need
to access agency-specific applications while
using mobile devices?
• Where do the users work? Considerations
include Wi-Fi and use of access points,
public Internet, and limited/no network
connectivity.
• What is the typical network footprint
(bandwidth, latency, and accessibility) that is
available to the community of users?
• Does the application need access to data
sources or is it a standalone application?
• What are the classifications or restrictions of
the data needed for the application?
• If the application requires data, is it
sufficiently predictable that it can be cached
38. Mobility in Government
to the device for use when a network
connection is not available?
• What are the risk management policies for
the application(s) and data?
By considering these questions we can
optimize placement of applications and data
based on where the users will be using the
application—rather than assuming continuous
and secure access is always available.
Network availability drives the application architecture
Now that we understand some characteristics
of the user and how and where they will work,
we can consider placement of applications. As
mentioned earlier, mobile devices and cloud
platforms are converging. When a community
of users works within an area where networks
are highly available, then hosting applications
within the data center (for example, within a
cloud data center) and using the mobile device
to access those applications is an optimal
configuration. Hosting the application in this
manner has the advantage of mitigating risks
to data (no data is stored on the mobile device)
and applications can be easily updated and
managed centrally.
However, many users will have the need
to use applications where network access
is limited or not available. In those cases
the application needs to be architected in
a manner that it can execute on the local
device—notebook PC, smartphone, or tablet.
Exclusively hosting the application remotely is
of little value to the user if they do not have a
continuous network connection.
Consider the following mobile use cases
that describe communities of users within
the government.
39.Mobility in Government
Community 1Users in the community operate in areas with
network coverage and the application data is
sensitive (frequently the case). One suggested
approach would be to consider hosting the
application in the data center to mitigate risks.
Community 2Users in the community operate in remote areas
with little or no network coverage but do travel
to locations with network coverage on a regular
basis (daily, weekly, monthly). The applications
create data that is not necessarily sensitive
but that data does need to ultimately be
uploaded to an agency database. One suggested
approach would be to develop a mobile
application with the ability to cache data until a
network connection is available. Once network
connection is established then upload data.
Community 3Users in the community operate in remote
areas with little or no network coverage but
do travel to locations with network coverage
on a regular basis (daily, weekly, or monthly).
The applications require data, which can be
modified marked for deletion, or additional data
can be appended. The data is sensitive. When
the device is connected to the appropriately
secured network, the data needs to be
synchronized with the authoritative source
in the agency data center. One suggested
approach would be to develop a mobile
application that includes all the necessary
security measures to mitigate external threats,
with the ability to cache data until a network
connection is available. Once connected to
the appropriate network, the connection is
established and the data uploaded.
There are many more potential use cases
and the requirements of the user community
(who they are, where they work, and network
availability), along with risk management
requirements, will drive the placement of
the application and the appropriate security
measures. Optimizing based on target
community usage will produce an optimal
experience compared to the adoption of a
common model or “one-size-fits-all” approach.
Public Safety Land Mobile provides more
security to government data but its low
bandwidth is insufficient for supporting rich
applications becoming available for mobile
devices. Wi-Fi provides higher bandwidth but
has limited range and is typically not available
beyond cities or densely populated suburbs.
Many government agencies are following
advancements in public cellular network
infrastructure. But they have to consider how
to ensure security over public networks and in
the wide variety of devices and platforms on
the market.

40. Mobility in Government
Bring your own device (BYOD) in government The biggest organizational impact from the rapid consumer adoption of smartphones and, moresignificantly,tabletPCsis that the IT department no longerdefinesthecomputingexperience, the user does. That’s because the trend for employees to “bring-your-own-device,” or BYOD, is just as relevant in government as it is in other sectors.
The pace of this technology evolution has far
outstripped the capacity of the traditional
IT technology adoption model. And this
represents a fundamental challenge to
many old assumptions in IT that renders
them obsolete. But it does not preclude the
requirement to meet security regulations and
other key demands of government service.
There are a number of moving parts that have
to move together to accommodate BYOD
successfully. But thinking through seven key
areas can go a long way in helping your agency
achieve the many benefits it brings.
Re-architecting for mobile
BYOD helps government boost employee
productivity, attract the best tech-savvy
talent, and improve people’s work-life balance
and thus job satisfaction. But the first step
in achieving these benefits is to make a
commitment to a top-down, systemic strategy
for re-architecting IT for mobile.
You can’t just let your network people go
off and transform the infrastructure in
isolation from the end-users, or vice versa.
And you certainly can’t exclude the people
responsible for security from the process. The
transformation is too complex.
The steps needed to make an effective
transformation are not always intuitive to
those groups looking at how mobility impacts
their domain in isolation from the others.
41.Mobility in Government
There are several key points to keep in mind
when implementing BYOD:
• You can’t fully manage what you don’t own
(primarily for legal and regulatory reasons),
and perhaps not even the data that you do
own. So you might have to settle for limited
control rather than full management.
• You can’t cost-effectively support what you
can’t standardize.
• You’ll still have to deal with legacy
architectures, limited resources, and
security considerations.
• There are large gaps in the area of data
leakage that require more than technology
to address, including implementing end-to-
end architectures and policies.
• The financial implications of “opt-in,”
stipend requirements, and non-recovery,
that are part of the BYOD reality, must be
fully understood and accounted for.
Moreover, don’t try architecting for whatever
operating system or device that seems hot
right now. This is a permanent trend and you
have to be “device agnostic” to be able to stay
current and meet changing user requirements.
Seven pillars of success
The challenges of a BYOD environment can be
met with proven implementation processes
and programs. Think through the following
seven pillars of success to get started.
New development models This imposes a whole new way of responsive
mobile design and mobile app development. A
core principle is that if you can’t fully manage
the configuration of the device, don’t let it
onto the network. Organizations often rely on
Mobile Device Management (MDM) to control
the configuration. But legal and regulatory
issues may limit that in a BYOD environment.
You may have no choice but to prevent direct
connection to the corporate network from
a user-owned device, via Wi-Fi for example.
Instead you might only allow limited, “arms
length” access to apps and data from a user-
owned device via the Internet to minimize
the risk they pose to the organization from a
security standpoint. You could then give users
access to more resources over time as you
grow the mobile app footprint.
Further, app portfolios in the organization are
typically too large (and often with lots of change-
resistant internal customers) to modernize
quickly. These two points argue for a selective
approach to development, and good internal
marketing. You’ll have to focus on managing the
apps and data that you really care about.
Re-thinking the boundaryless network perimeterLegacy architectures were made to protect
managed resources but have become a barrier
to the way people work now. As we approach
the tipping point for the adoption of Internet
Protocol version 6 (IPv6), we may see a natural
segue towards consumerization-friendly
architectures for the long term.
For now, this again argues for taking small-
bite, interim steps to move the ball forward.
42. Mobility in Government
That means getting governance, support, and
incentives into place first, and making simple
changes like routing user-owned devices out to
the Internet when they connect via a campus
Wi-Fi network.
Move Beyond the DeviceIn order to effectively manage the security, risk,
and costs to deploy mobile solutions within the
enterprise. Enterprise Mobility Management
(EMM) platforms and strategies have emerged
to mitigate the modular or siloed approach and
bring together the various disparate features
and point solutions to provide a more integrated
approach. While there are still opportunities for
improvement, there seems to be a coordinated
approach to address many of the legal and
compliance issues that can be problematic when
employing these platforms.
Instead of focusing on device management (as
was the PC paradigm) we need to move beyond
that to focus more on the data and apps that
the company really cares about to protect
organizational security and not just attest the
state of the device. This more comprehensive
approach requires an end-to-end architecture
that’s designed for today’s usage patterns. This
not only will enhance the user experience, but
also the security posture associated with these
types of solutions to provide ‘context’ end-to-
end to provide greater situational awareness.
New support modelsSince support can’t be standardized in a
BYOD environment with multiple devices and
operating systems, you’ll have to think triage
to keep it cost-effective. First-level support has
to be geared to first determining if the incident
is related to something the agency controls. If
not, the user may have to turn to alternative
resources: the device maker, the software
vendor, or accessing self-help forums. Consider
incentives to ensure that only users who are
ready and capable of going the self-help route
opt into BYOD, and actively dissuade the less
competent or tech-savvy.
Accommodation of popular user-selected Internet servicesConsumerization is about more than devices.
You also have to think about user-selected
services, such as Facebook and microblogging
(aka Twitter), which are increasingly used for
work-related activities.
It’s not possible to replicate the power of social
networks and the real-time communications
they provide inside the firewall because that
ignores the key to their success: massive
scalability and reach. The only governance tool
most organizations have today is Acceptable
Use Agreements (AUAs). They’re an essential
part of any program, but be sure to engage
legal and human resources (HR) departments
early and often.
A program that accounts for legal, regulatory, and HR imperativesThis is the number one barrier to success up
to this point. Regional variances in legal and
regulatory restrictions dictate the terms of any
BYOD program structure.
43.Mobility in Government
So unless you want your program to be highly
limited geographically, you’ll have to go
with “opt-in” initiatives. Stipends—even the
bare minimum—must be provided for BYOD
programs to avoid running afoul of certain
labor laws. The case law for BYOD is evolving
rapidly, to the point where it’s becoming more
of a problem for HR and legal than IT.
New end-user data access and protection modelThe way users work has fundamentally
changed because of the rapid adoption
of smartphones and tablet PCs. And user
segmentation, rather than “one size fits all,”
is key. But the promise of greater productivity
can’t be realized by devices alone. It’s
important to focus first on the data, not the
individual’s device. Data leakage protection has
to be about building a modern ecosystem to
protect sensitive government information and
still make your employees more productive.
And this requires education, training, and new
processes that take mobility into account.
Getting started
HP has been working with several government
agencies and many clients in other sectors to
help them successfully and cost-effectively
adapt to the BYOD trend. We have advanced
capabilities in delivering solutions that meet
these seven pillars of success. And we can help
you implement the right program structures
and effective governance models that are also
critical for success.
Moreover, HP has proven, cost-effective
processes for cross-platform development
and testing to help you become a device-
agnostic, BYOD organization. We can help you
release exciting new mobile apps rapidly while
ensuring your security.

Mobile FedTraveler expedites government travelAccording to the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA), the U.S. federal government is the world’s largest consumer of travel services with an estimated $15 billion in annual spend1. Much of this travel is time-sensitive, but it still must be approved in advance.
The GSA turned to HP nearly eight years ago
to help develop an online portal to expedite
travel requests. The resulting FedTraveler.com
E-Gov Travel Service (ETS) is a comprehensive,
end-to-end service that federal employees can
use to plan, book, track, approve, and request
reimbursement for travel services.
Going mobile
Having an online portal provided more
convenience to travelers and supervisors.
However, usability was limited by the fact
that the supervisors who needed to approve
the travel might be traveling themselves or
away from their desks when an urgent request
came in. This problem was compounded when
multiple approvals were required.
To overcome this problem, the GSA requested
that FedTraveler be enhanced to accommodate
mobile compatibility for this web-based
application. Criteria included that it be fast and
easy to use, take advantage of the device’s
capabilities (splash screen, touch interface,
orientation), and integrate a help feature. HP
launched into a scoping effort for requirements
and began design work, coding, and testing.
User satisfaction was the driver User satisfaction was the project’s overarching
driver from the beginning. After users tap open
the app’s splash screen and log in, the app
authenticates their credentials and provides
access to the Approval Desktop, where users
can search for a particular travel request. The
mobile approval capability also includes access
configurability, which allows an agency to
determine with a quick configuration setting
whether or not the approval user community
has access to the mobile approval application.
1 U.S. General Services Administration http://www.gsa.gov/portal/content/104378
45.Mobility in Government
In addition to basic information for the travel
request—such as destination and travel dates—
the user (traveler and supervisor) can check
financials, review justifications for the trip,
view any receipts or PDF attachments, and
leave comments. The supervisor can approve
or return the request at the touch of a
button. The mobile approval application also
provides the middle-tier capabilities provided
by FedTraveler.com, including the real-time
and batch financial interface processing and
single-sign-on functions.
The National Aeronautics and Space
Administration (NASA) was chosen as the first
user test environment. Then other agencies
took a look at it and liked what they saw. The
FedTraveler mobile app helped government
managers approve more than 1,000 travel
requests in June 2012 (the latest available
figures). Further, it has received the highest
GSA user satisfaction scores.

48. Mobility in Government
Anaheim finds the magic in going mobile with city services Probably best known as the home of Disneyland, the city of Anaheim, California, is committed to maintaining and improving the quality of its community by preventingandremovinggraffiti.But as with most cities, Anaheim is challenged to provide public services while struggling with the current economic climate. The city serves a population of more than 300,000, making it the most populated city in Orange County and the 10th most populated city in California.
Mobile apps provided a cost-effective solution.
Previously, citizens were limited to reporting
graffiti and accessing other city services via
the browser-based “Anaheim Anytime” 3-1-1
online portal if they didn’t want to visit city
hall. As smartphones became more widespread
in the community, Anaheim saw an opportunity
to provide a faster and richer mobile service
experience to the public.
My Anaheim
Working with HP, the city launched the “My
Anaheim” app more than a year ago. People
can now attach a photo of the graffiti to their
service request to help the city prioritize
removal. They can also provide a more
accurate location of the reported event
through the use of the GPS tools built into the
device. The city can quickly acknowledge the
service request and notify the reporter when
the graffiti has been removed.
The HP development team designed the app
to be easy for citizens to use by minimizing
the information required and making it easy to
attach images. City employees were recruited
as an early adopter group for testing and
49.Mobility in Government
provided key insights about optimizing a city
services app for the small screen of a mobile
phone. The app can now be downloaded for
Android-based devices as well as the iPhone,
iPod touch, and iPad.
A scalable, cost-effective platform
As the graffiti removal app became more
popular with the public, other city services
were added. People can now request shopping
cart removal, streetlight repair, and trash or
furniture pickup. They can also access the city
event calendar, report suspicious activity, and
find volunteer opportunities to make their city
better. Requests are routed to the appropriate
city department for a faster response time.
Mobilizing service coordination
As the public-facing My Anaheim service
became a success, the city saw the potential
of mobile apps for use by city employees to
increase coordination, promote efficiency, and
do more with less. HP designed the MyEVOC
(Emergency Virtual Operations Center) app
to make essential functions—such as police
and fire incident reports, vehicle tracking,
and various advisories—available to city
employees through mobile devices.
Built for modular scalability, MyEVOC feeds
information from 17 systems to the device,
from both government and public sources
including Amber alerts and earthquake
warnings. A mobilized dashboard screen shows
incidents by type and priority, provides map
location, and sends alerts to key people.

“Graffitiisaggravatingbecauseit can pop up so quickly. I like the way My Anaheim lets me send a quick and precise service request to the city’s removal crews. I also like the way the city sends updates directly to my iPhone. That makes me feel that I’m being heard by city hall.”- John S., Anaheim resident
50. Mobility in Government
Create user-centric mobile experiences with HP A positive end-user experience is often the most important factor in the adoption of new mobile apps. Government in particular must deliver a highly accessible and dependable experience to users across a variety of devices, including mobile, desktop, and print—or at the point-of service, such as a kiosk.
The migration toward anytime, anywhere access
to applications has underscored the need for
simpler, cleaner, and more adaptable user
experiences. At HP, we have a dedicated user
experience practice with experts in user-centric
design capabilities that work in parallel with
developers and stakeholders to assure apps are
context-sensitive, useful, usable, and enjoyable.
User-centered design increases user satisfaction, reduces costs, and improves time-to-market.
The user-centric design process focuses on
an iterative and collaborative design process
that balances stakeholder needs with those
of the users. HP user experience experts work
in parallel with stakeholders and developers
to provide user experience best practices and
champion the needs of the user throughout

User insight: The key to ease of use and innovation
A useful experience demands a deeper
understanding of your users and their
environment, constraints, and needs. For
instance, a dockworker usually has large
hands and can wear gloves in the cold. Or, a
citizen in the midst of federal disaster zone
must be able to apply for relief from their
mobile device, possibly the only article they
have left in the wake of a disaster. Deriving
insight from users is a key ingredient to
thoughtful experience design.
Responsive design: Context-aware, device-independent applications
Knowing your user’s mobility patterns, HP is
radically simplifying applications and
developing adaptable interfaces that deliver
the right information at the right time—no
matter what device a person is using. By
using responsive design to fit any device—
only one set of code required—stakeholders
can potentially reduce their ongoing
development and maintenance costs.
52. Mobility in Government
Developing cross-platform mobile apps When selecting the right platform for developing government mobile applications, keep in mind that “one sizedoesn’tfitall.”Youhavetwobasic choices: native application development or cross-platform application development. Which option you choose depends on what kind of experience you want the intended user to have.
Comparing options
Given the long experience government
agencies have with BlackBerry devices, and
the investments they’ve made to secure
communications with them, it might appear
that native development for a single device
will remain the norm. But the bring-your-own-
device (BYOD) trend means that agencies may
have to do more cross-platform development
and consider more responsive web design. Let’s
look at the pros and cons of each environment.
53.Mobility in Government
Native application developmentThe biggest benefit of native application
development is that you can take advantage
of the native interface on the device and fully
utilize all of its features. This lets you provide
the richest, most robust user experience.
The disadvantage is that you have to develop
a different version of the application for each
device. This drives up development, testing,
and maintenance costs, slows the pace of
release, and may leave coverage gaps where
certain devices can’t use the app.
Cross-platform developmentCross-platform development lets you develop
just one code base for every platform. It’s
therefore less costly over the long term in
developing and maintaining the app to run
on most of the devices that employees or
contractors may bring to the office.
The downside is that since the application
looks the same on all devices, it may provide a
somewhat dull user experience. And we have
to remember that a compelling user experience
is the key to adoption. Anything that requires
intense demand on the platform in terms
of user experience, interaction, or graphical
rendering will always require pieces of native
development to complement the cross-
platform software development kits (SDKs).
Responsive web designIn addition to cross platform development
methods, we must also consider more
responsive web design techniques. Nowadays,
applications can recognize the device and form
factor that is being used to access it, and can
respond to that device by dynamically rendering
the content to fit the device. This technique
provides an optimal user experience but does
require more effort in the design phase.
Stay current with platforms
Keep in mind that platforms continue to evolve.
Tool vendors for cross-platform development
will be eternally playing catch-up in terms of
features and providing access to the latest
device capabilities. Further, there is a lot of
churn in tool development with companies
starting up, being acquired, or going out of
business. That makes it difficult to figure out
what tool you should commit to.
HP relies on a number of development tools,
both our own and those provided by third
parties. The open-source Enyo tool (see page
54), which just debuted, is a good example of
what we use. It’s the only framework that can
truly scale apps based on device screen size.

Agencies trending with responsive web design Government agencies are responding to a new trend known as responsive web design. With this technique, citizens can access government web pages and services that dynamically respond to their preferred device, giving them a native quality experience, while containing the cost of development.
Whether they’re using an iPhone, iPad, laptop,
or large desktop monitor, web apps that use
responsive web design recognize the size of the
display on the device to dynamically respond
by moving and resizing content to best fit
the screen size of the device. This technique
is being employed with HTML5 web apps to
deliver native quality apps at a fraction of native
development cost for each and every device.
Enyo
As government agencies continue to look
for ways to use mobile technology in their
day-to-day operations, they face one main
hurdle: development cost. The cost of paying a
development firm to create a mobile application
that works across multiple platforms can
be expensive. The other alternative, having
someone on staff learn a new programming
language, requires an investment of time that
most public agencies can’t spare.
There is a solution, and
it is called Enyo.
Native Quality Apps
Enyo is a JavaScript application framework
helping developers build native-quality HTML5
apps that run on any device. As an Apache 2.0
licensed open-source project, Enyo is 100%
free to download and use. It is also relatively
easy to learn for anyone who is familiar
with web development, since it is based on
JavaScript and HTML5.
Most importantly, developers can develop an
application once and use the same code across
multiple platforms—from iOS to Android to
BlackBerry and Windows, Enyo supports virtually
every major mobile and desktop platform.

Contain the cost of mobile testing
57.Mobility in Government
Today’s technology-savvy users and
consumers have high expectations when
it comes to the quality of their service
experience. They expect immediate, anytime,
anywhere access to applications and
information on their preferred devices. These
devices support the intersection of their
personal and professional lives as enterprises
across the globe deal with the policies and
challenges of bring your own device (BYOD).
Test automation helps manage fragmented platforms
No one can really say with any certainty
what their addressable market is in terms
of mobile platforms, device form factors, or
operating systems.
That makes it hard for you to ensure a
consistent user experience and meet essential
government service requirements including
security. With such a diverse range of devices
in the market, manually testing the service
experience on each and every device is a very
daunting and costly task and one that benefits
greatly from test automation.
Real devices, real locations, real carrier networks
HP has developed a unified mobile testing
solution that uses a script-once, test-many
automation approach to test an application or
service on many devices. Our solution accesses
real devices, in real locations, across real carrier
networks using the NP MobileCloud, so you can
rest easy knowing that your applications will
deliver a high-quality service experience on a
diverse range of mobile devices.

Mixing tenants on the device (yours, mine, and ours)
59.Mobility in Government
The U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) and intelligence communities have long worked to provide mobile users with single-device access to multiple networkswithdifferentlevelsofsecurityandotherrequirements.Asagencies move to support an increasingly mobile workforce, the nature of government work that involves communicating with the many industries it regulates, the diverse agencies that need to coordinate, and the broad contractorbasethatsupportsithaschanged.Eachmissiondiffersinrequirementsforhowsensitivedataisclassified,encrypted,changed,andwiped, as well as the need to use a single device for many functions has now moved beyond military and intelligence missions.
Essentially, solving this challenge is about being
able to host multiple personas for the same
individual on a device, giving each “tenant”
its own access to a network and the device’s
functionality but not allowing transmitted
data to mingle. The insights HP has gained
from providing solutions for mixing tenants on
government and commercial devices are useful
for all levels of governments in meeting a new
challenge: bring your own device (BYOD).
Bring your own device
Multitenant hosting is expanding to other
government agencies and being accelerated
by the BYOD trend in mobile communications.
Government employees and contractors share
the same consumerization of IT behavior as
the general public in wanting to find a device,
operating system, and service plan that meet
their unique needs. Further, they expect to be
able to use the device for both personal and
job-related tasks.
The recently released Federal Digital
Government Strategy document recognized this
trend by stating, “Many front-running agencies
have already launched BYOD pilots that test new
60. Mobility in Government
devices and solutions.”1 And while government-
wide BYOD guidance is still being developed
from these pilots, agencies can get started now
by learning from the early DoD experiences with
mixing tenants on the device.
Options for multitenancy
There are three primary solutions for hosting
multiple tenants on the same mobile device:
Remote application access The information resides at the data center,
and the device only provides a window to it.
This requires robust network connectivity with
continuously available, reliable, and cost-
effective access to the data center. That isn’t
always possible for government projects.
Containerized access The sponsor provides a virtualized operating
system on the device so users can invoke
the app and get access to needed data
for restricted purposes. For example, the
government might provide a virtual app on a
contractor’s laptop for a specific job.
Users are not reliant on connectivity to run
rich applications locally, but they will need a
fair amount of storage on their devices. They
can continue to work even when access to the
data center is not available or constrained.
Depending on the containerization approach,
the initial installation may need to be done
locally or require large downloads.
1 “Digital Government: Building a 21st Century Platform To Better Serve The American People,” May 23, 2012, page 14. http://www.whitehouse.gov/sites/default/files/omb/egov/digital-government/digital-government-strategy.pdf
61.Mobility in Government
App stores Following the broader trend in mobility, app
stores allow people to download the apps they
need. Security can be provided by storing some
data on the server while encrypting some data
on the device.
Like containerization, this method facilitates
support for richer applications, such as high-
resolution video. Files can be moved to the
device to run locally and then uploaded to the
server later. The development of app stores
is driven by the broad market acceptance of
smartphones. But it’s important to note that
applications for laptop PCs are generally not
disseminated this way, so the user may not
get the same experience if using both types of
devices—but this is beginning to change.
Choose the right solution
While the decisions individuals make on
selecting their devices, operating systems, and
service plans are often stimulated by the latest
market promotion, governments demand a
more rigorous process. HP begins by assessing
the government client’s problem, the maturity
of existing apps and infrastructure, existing
licenses, and mission requirements.
We also consider special assessment
requirements for security and encryption. And
we take into account existing government
programs such as the Federal Risk and
Authorization Management Program
(FedRAMP), which provides a standardized
approach to security assessment,
authorization, and continuous monitoring for
cloud products and services.

Security frameworks help rein in mobile vulnerabilitiesSecuring mobile devices in government service used to be easy. Agencies just issued everyone a BlackBerry, and then invested heavily in securing it end-to-end. But now government employees, like people who work in all other sectors, have grown used to the openness, ease of use, capability, and portability of mobile devices. These new, diverse mobile platforms and applications have not been built to withstand the rigorous security standards needed to ensure safety of information assets.
While you might try in vain to stop the trend of
employees bringing their own device to the job,
it’s probably wiser to integrate secure mobile
solutions with legacy infrastructures while
maintaining compliance with more stringent
laws, regulations, and policies. And that
requires an end-to-end secure framework.

End-to-end security
HP provides an end-to-end secure framework
for government and other clients that
spans devices, data, network, applications,
and governance. By securing data and its
transmission from back-end systems to the
device, we can provide the defense-in-depth
characteristics needed to ensure security of the
information, applications, and devices.
The secure framework scans and verifies
applications and program code for vulnerabilities
before they’re uploaded to an organizational
app store. It also enables applications to be
ported to different platforms without the
need for individual security testing of the
device. By securing all components involved in
implementing a mobile solution, the framework
brings more capabilities to the device.
The framework also provides several other
benefits for government IT managers including:
• Comprehensive testing
• Cross-platform development for faster implementation
• Greater opportunity for innovation in applications
• Extension of mobile apps from government employees to the public at large
• Ongoing operational benefits including lower costs, higher user productivity, and greater agility
• Integration of components rather than IT managers having to evaluate and pick point products to ensure end-to-end security
Ongoing mobile security
As part of providing a comprehensive security
solution, HP partners with a leading mobile
device management (MDM) vendor to enforce
ongoing security and policy compliance of all
devices. This allows government agencies to
implement a bring-your-own-device (BYOD)
environment and achieve all the benefits it
brings to the organization, including lower
device costs as well as higher employee
productivity and job satisfaction.
Security helps FedTraveler grow quickly
The FedTraveler.com E-Gov Travel Services is a
comprehensive, end-to-end service for federal
employees to plan, book, track, approve, and
request reimbursement for travel services. It
was an early implementation of the HP mobile
security architecture.
The project started small, but as travelers saw
that it provided great utility plus the privacy
provided by a secure framework, it scaled
quickly. This enabled HP to add more users at
less cost for each. It has expanded to 360,000
users across 23 U.S. government agencies.

Isolate and test to help ensure app securityWhen it comes to the broad range of mobile devices being introduced into government work, security controls and coding practices vary widely from vendor-to-vendor and platform-to-platform. This situation is enabled by the public’s willingness to accept less security for the opportunity to choose from a wide range of what they can download from app stores. The hundreds of thousands of applications and games available on the Android Market, for example, don’t require any security testing before posting.
This presents a problem as government
employees bring their own devices to the
job and expect to run their own private and
government apps on them. The development
of federal security technical implementation
guides (STIGs) and other security policies are
lagging behind the rapid development of new
platforms. Therefore, IT managers might be
tempted to try and restrict the devices people
can use on the job. But this can slow the pace
of adoption and limit the usability of cutting-
edge mobile technologies in government.
Focus on the container
A better way to help ensure security while
allowing people to use the full range of
devices and platforms on the market is to
focus security initiatives on the operating
system container on the device. This enables
security staff to isolate the application code
and analyze it to ensure security policies are
met. It also lets them segment personal and
job containers: a secure half for access to
government resources and a personal half that
allows open access to public app stores.
When combining the offerings of the HP
Fortify suite and our in-house developed
Comprehensive Application Threat
Analysis (CATA) service, HP provides a
robust mechanism to thoroughly test all
aspects of mobile applications.
67.Mobility in Government
HP Fortify The proactive software security assurance
(SSA) approach embodied by the HP Fortify
suite provides a systematic way to find
vulnerabilities in software. It recognizes
that it’s far more effective and cost-efficient
to secure applications while they’re being
developed than to do so after they’ve been
deployed. The HP Fortify suite comprises
industry-leading products, solutions, and
features that address the complete spectrum
of government application security needs.
HP Comprehensive Applications Threat AnalysisCATA examines applications early in the
lifecycle to identify vulnerabilities and
recommend changes where you realize the
most value—before coding begins. We can
also analyze existing applications to assess
their security risk posture. Further, CATA drives
down the cost of making applications secure by
finding threats early thus avoiding rework. And
it can find and avoid many more vulnerabilities
than testing alone.

Assessment and authorization – more than just the data center
69.Mobility in Government
Released in early 2012, the Federal Mobility Strategy draft by Federal CIO Steven Van Roekel sets core objectives for developing mobile solutions for government. The overall goal is to transform the way government provides digital services by using a three-layer conceptual model that allows for thecreationofcontentanddataonce,andthenuseindifferentways.Thisstrategy recognizes that “Early mobile adopters in government—like the early web adopters—are beginning to experiment in pursuit of innovation.”1
However, while encouraging this new openness,
the strategy also acknowledges that, “Moving
forward, we must strike a balance between the
very real need to protect sensitive government
and citizen assets given the realities of a rapidly
changing technology landscape.” Van Roekel
advocates a common approach to security and
privacy through streamlined assessment and
authorization processes.2
U.S. Department of Defense sets the bar for assessment and authorization
While this streamlining is still underway, the
U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) provides a
useful model of what the future accreditation
process might look like. The security
thresholds it sets for authorizing IT solutions
and applications from private vendors are
widely followed by other government agencies.
In response to the new federal guidelines, the
DoD issued its own mobile device strategy.
It expands assessment and authorization
guidelines beyond the data center to focus
on improving three areas critical to mobility:
wireless infrastructure, the mobile device itself,
and mobile applications.3
Mobile device management
The DoD recognizes that “As end user
dependence on mobile devices rises,
enterprise management becomes necessary
to ensure continuous and secure mobile
device operation and maintenance in a cost-
efficient manner.”4 Toward that end, security
requirements guides (SRGs) and security
technical implementation guidelines (STIGs)
build a framework in several key areas:
Mobile device managementIn addition to the basic ability to disable
and wipe the device remotely, mobile device
management (MDM) can enable or disable
several interfaces. This includes Wi-Fi,
Bluetooth, global positioning system (GPS),
near-field communications radio, and the
device’s camera. It also enables/disables over-
the-air-provisioning, automatic connection
to known Wi-Fi sites, personal hotspots,
short messaging and multimedia messaging

services, and other device functions. The MDM
enforces several security-related configuration
parameters: device unlock password,
duration of inactivity before device lock, data
encryption, and blocking websites.
Mobile application management Mobile application management (MAM)
enforces several security-related configuration
parameters for applications. These include
installing approved applications on managed
mobile devices and restricting the removal
of required applications. It also manages
application access to mobile device resources:
the browser, microphone, email, address
book, etc. The MAM interfaces with a DoD
app store to get approved applications, and
scans managed devices periodically to take
predefined actions if it finds applications that
are not on the approved list.
Mobile device integrity scanningMobile device integrity scanning (MDIS) scans
and enforces integrity validation features on
managed mobile devices. It sends an alert
when a device integrity issue is identified,
provides information on the scope of the
risk, and recommends mitigation action. It
operates independently of the MDM. The
MDIS methodology uses DoD-approved
cryptographic (hash) mechanisms and
compares against a known baseline.

Mobile email managementMobile email management (MEM) enforces
security configurations using both soft token
and hard token certificates. It also blocks or
converts all active content in email to text
before the email is sent to the device.

services must be hardened according to the
applicable operating system and application
STIGs, respectively.
