When mobile enabling an existing web property, you face a key decision: Whether to rely on your incumbent web publishing platform (e.g., WCXM or portal software), or whether to deploy a specialized tool from a plethora of vendors such as Antenna Software, RhoMobile, Netbiscuits, Kony, and more.
Portal and WCXM vendors argue that since their platforms already separate content from presentation, you only need to create mobile-specific templates to address mobile visitors. This approach offers simplicity and convenience, but also portends significant limitations. This briefing will help you to decide whether, where, and when you should consider supplementing your incumbent web publishing platform with specialized tools.
