  Hello and welcome to low code and 30

  [00:00:03.160]
  I’m Jeff Goldberg, part of the evangelist

  [00:00:05.330]
  team at Bendix.

  [00:00:06.969]
  In this webinar, we’re going to discuss

  [00:00:09.150]
  native mobile applications

  [00:00:11.359]
  and why they’re key to enhancing

  [00:00:13.410]
  your employees work experience

  [00:00:15.410]
  and how men dicks eases native

  [00:00:17.570]
  mobile app development

  [00:00:18.850]
  so you can accelerate your business

  [00:00:22.480]
  Loco and 30 is a monthly webinar, Siri’s

  [00:00:25.170]
  dedicated to educating business, and

  [00:00:27.429]
  I t on the benefits of low

  [00:00:29.480]
  code application development.

  [00:00:43.439]
  We’ve covered a range of topics over

  [00:00:45.460]
  the past year, including citizen Development,

  [00:00:48.060]
  I ot

  [00:00:49.140]
  Dev ops

  [00:00:50.229]
  Aye, aye and machine learning

  [00:00:51.829]
  as well as multi experience platforms

  [00:00:54.600]
  of which will drill into a bit further today

  [00:00:57.030]
  with our discussion on Native Mobile.

  [00:01:01.270]
  Today, our journey begins on the topic

  [00:01:03.579]
  of experience.

  [00:01:05.439]
  Customer experience. To be more specific

  [00:01:08.609]
  from there, will travel into the mobile

  [00:01:10.739]
  application development world and

  [00:01:12.859]
  learn about the different options available

  [00:01:15.390]
  and why men dicks low code approach

  [00:01:17.629]
  to native mobile development

  [00:01:19.319]
  is a customer experience game changer,

  [00:01:22.599]
  then a first for low code and 30

  [00:01:25.219]
  I’ll be joined by Yost Landman

  [00:01:27.159]
  from Rob a bank, and we’ll talk about

  [00:01:29.159]
  robbing banks, journey with Bendix and the

  [00:01:31.189]
  experience his team is having making

  [00:01:33.489]
  native Mobile applications with Bendix.

  [00:01:37.920]
  In one of my past jobs,

  [00:01:39.939]
  I had the pleasure of working for a

  [00:01:41.950]
  restaurant chain of bakery cafes

  [00:01:44.299]
  who made it a point

  [00:01:45.939]
  to make the experience of going

  [00:01:47.980]
  to their stores feel like entering

  [00:01:50.620]
  an everyday oasis.

  [00:01:53.090]
  What this meant, of course, is that when a customer

  [00:01:55.569]
  walks into a store,

  [00:01:57.200]
  ah, warmth swirls around them

  [00:01:59.329]
  along with the smell of fresh baked

  [00:02:01.340]
  goods, making them feel

  [00:02:03.700]
  like they’re part of a community

  [00:02:05.840]
  and in a place where they can relax

  [00:02:08.069]
  from the stresses of the day.

  [00:02:10.840]
  Back in the early two thousands,

  [00:02:12.960]
  this concept of customer experience

  [00:02:15.830]
  it existed.

  [00:02:17.340]
  But it wasn’t as in your face as it is

  [00:02:19.539]
  today.

  [00:02:21.039]
  When you look around

  [00:02:22.419]
  customer experiences in something as

  [00:02:24.530]
  small as the design on top of a cappuccino,

  [00:02:28.270]
  the efficiency for which we can transact

  [00:02:30.330]
  business,

  [00:02:31.580]
  the memories made fresh again through nostalgia

  [00:02:34.969]
  to the wonder the world of virtual reality

  [00:02:37.580]
  conjures to life

  [00:02:41.530]
  in 2018

  [00:02:43.139]
  customer experiences with your brand

  [00:02:45.379]
  started with an interaction on

  [00:02:47.580]
  a mobile phone

  [00:02:48.770]
  more than 50% of the time.

  [00:02:52.439]
  Well, that may be via a website.

  [00:02:55.020]
  Once the customer is engaged,

  [00:02:57.569]
  they expect the more refined

  [00:03:00.060]
  experience, a dedicated mobile

  [00:03:02.099]
  app that’s interactive and fluid,

  [00:03:04.900]
  ready to make their life easier.

  [00:03:08.000]
  The goal here for the APP maker is stickiness,

  [00:03:11.039]
  and it’s in these first touch points where

  [00:03:13.110]
  customer perceptions are cemented

  [00:03:15.689]
  and become very difficult to change

  [00:03:17.979]
  over time.

  [00:03:19.639]
  In fact, in a recent poll,

  [00:03:21.939]
  almost 85% of respondents

  [00:03:24.590]
  stated that they are unlikely

  [00:03:26.599]
  to repeat engaging with companies

  [00:03:28.939]
  offering a poor mobile experience.

  [00:03:33.139]
  And over 30% of those respondents

  [00:03:36.000]
  stated they would tell others

  [00:03:38.169]
  about the negative experience.

  [00:03:40.610]
  With network effects like that, it’s clear

  [00:03:43.610]
  customer experience is a key differentiator

  [00:03:46.620]
  for the success of brands.

  [00:03:50.439]
  At this point, you may be saying,

  [00:03:52.469]
  so what? Who cares?

  [00:03:54.539]
  We won’t sell directly to external customers.

  [00:03:57.669]
  Customer experience is for someone else

  [00:03:59.710]
  to worry about.

  [00:04:01.840]
  Okay,

  [00:04:02.939]
  that’s fair.

  [00:04:04.439]
  But what about your internal customers?

  [00:04:06.840]
  Your employees,

  [00:04:10.039]
  your employees are customers of lift,

  [00:04:12.900]
  Amazon,

  [00:04:14.039]
  Apple,

  [00:04:15.039]
  Google,

  [00:04:16.110]
  Microsoft

  [00:04:17.300]
  Pinterest

  [00:04:18.339]
  and many more brands they see

  [00:04:20.529]
  every day on their mobile phones.

  [00:04:23.040]
  These companies are raising the stakes for

  [00:04:25.110]
  success in the marketplace because they

  [00:04:27.199]
  obsessively focus on customer

  [00:04:29.250]
  experience.

  [00:04:30.839]
  Consequently,

  [00:04:32.100]
  your employees expect better

  [00:04:34.529]
  customer experiences from the Alps,

  [00:04:36.750]
  the use for work

  [00:04:39.100]
  and when they have to do things manually

  [00:04:41.329]
  or log into multiple systems to see

  [00:04:43.470]
  despair, it data

  [00:04:45.000]
  it impacts their engagement

  [00:04:47.009]
  with your company

  [00:04:48.240]
  and with your customers.

  [00:04:52.339]
  I’ll give you an example that serves as a

  [00:04:54.410]
  great transition into the native mobile

  [00:04:56.579]
  part of our conversation today.

  [00:04:59.220]
  Recently,

  [00:05:00.259]
  some of my colleagues were riding up the elevator

  [00:05:03.079]
  to our office.

  [00:05:05.040]
  They were standing next to a field service

  [00:05:07.209]
  worker delivering packages

  [00:05:09.560]
  to the offices in the building.

  [00:05:12.639]
  She had three

  [00:05:14.339]
  yes, three mobile devices in

  [00:05:16.360]
  her hands,

  [00:05:17.839]
  all of them necessary for her to do

  [00:05:19.879]
  her job.

  [00:05:21.639]
  Why,

  [00:05:23.089]
  she said that her job required

  [00:05:25.649]
  data from each one of the

  [00:05:27.709]
  devices.

  [00:05:29.240]
  And while headquarters can see the

  [00:05:31.279]
  data from all three

  [00:05:32.959]
  in one interface,

  [00:05:35.139]
  she’s left toe eyeball

  [00:05:38.040]
  data from one

  [00:05:39.730]
  device to the other

  [00:05:41.540]
  and try to correlate the correct information

  [00:05:44.410]
  related

  [00:05:45.500]
  to where she’s going

  [00:05:46.870]
  and what she’s delivery.

  [00:05:49.939]
  Part of this may be due

  [00:05:52.439]
  thio each device having a special attachment

  [00:05:54.759]
  like some sort of scanner

  [00:05:56.329]
  or a special app that’s designed

  [00:05:58.790]
  for a specific purpose.

  [00:06:02.290]
  Nevertheless,

  [00:06:03.769]
  the friction created from this user

  [00:06:05.870]
  experience

  [00:06:06.980]
  this internal customer experience

  [00:06:09.439]
  has a negative effect from end

  [00:06:11.629]
  to end on the experience chain.

  [00:06:14.949]
  This is where low code and native mobile

  [00:06:17.230]
  come together and solve this problem,

  [00:06:19.660]
  propelling customer experience from the reactive

  [00:06:22.720]
  to the proactive.

  [00:06:30.009]
  Regarding mobile application development,

  [00:06:32.420]
  there are a lot of flavors to choose

  [00:06:34.439]
  from for creating, developing

  [00:06:36.949]
  in making

  [00:06:38.240]
  applications.

  [00:06:39.939]
  But four

  [00:06:41.339]
  different styles stand out today

  [00:06:43.829]
  as the main types

  [00:06:45.329]
  of applications that a developer

  [00:06:47.579]
  or anyone can create.

  [00:06:51.839]
  Native mobile applications, sometimes

  [00:06:53.930]
  called pure native mobile,

  [00:06:55.750]
  are developed using traditional coding languages.

  [00:06:58.740]
  Objective C and Swift for IOS

  [00:07:01.620]
  and Java and Conklin for Android.

  [00:07:05.040]
  Pure native mobile applications offer superior

  [00:07:07.610]
  performance and the tightest integration

  [00:07:09.759]
  with device capabilities

  [00:07:11.569]
  because the languages are optimized

  [00:07:13.579]
  for the operating systems.

  [00:07:16.269]
  The tradeoff is that the pure native

  [00:07:18.439]
  application development

  [00:07:20.189]
  isn’t cross platform,

  [00:07:21.930]
  so you have to maintain two separate code bases,

  [00:07:24.639]
  often using separate development teams.

  [00:07:27.610]
  Puree native is expensive because

  [00:07:29.689]
  it takes more time, resource is

  [00:07:31.709]
  and specialized skills

  [00:07:33.800]
  to build and maintain

  [00:07:37.839]
  hybrid applications are more like a website

  [00:07:40.110]
  for mobile than a true app.

  [00:07:42.540]
  they use HTML, CSS and

  [00:07:44.720]
  JavaScript to create an experience

  [00:07:46.959]
  wrapped in what is called a Web. You

  [00:07:49.279]
  tow work on mobile devices

  [00:07:51.009]
  and be packaged for APP store distribution.

  [00:07:54.339]
  Hybrid applications, Air Cross platform

  [00:07:56.540]
  using frameworks like Cordova and

  [00:07:58.550]
  Phone Gap. To wrap the application and

  [00:08:00.779]
  provide access to device capabilities,

  [00:08:04.139]
  hybrid APS take less time to make

  [00:08:06.329]
  and maintain

  [00:08:07.709]
  impure native APS.

  [00:08:09.879]
  Unfortunately,

  [00:08:11.220]
  developer efficiency gains result

  [00:08:13.250]
  in subpar user experience.

  [00:08:16.089]
  In addition, the rise of progressive

  [00:08:18.370]
  Web, APS and React native

  [00:08:20.430]
  are demonstrating that Cordova and Phone

  [00:08:22.629]
  Gap are showing their age and

  [00:08:24.750]
  waning support among the community.

  [00:08:30.029]
  Progressive Web APS are an advancement on

  [00:08:32.120]
  the hybrid approach. However. They’re

  [00:08:34.259]
  designed to run in standard Internet

  [00:08:36.409]
  browsers like Chrome,

  [00:08:38.509]
  which makes them cross platform.

  [00:08:41.429]
  Progressive Web APS aimed to deliver an

  [00:08:43.539]
  experience similar to a native app,

  [00:08:45.809]
  using service workers connecting the

  [00:08:47.840]
  APP to device capabilities.

  [00:08:50.440]
  P W ays deliver a smooth

  [00:08:52.710]
  user experience and work even

  [00:08:55.000]
  when end users aren’t proud Sing.

  [00:08:57.220]
  Because of these service workers,

  [00:09:00.440]
  PW ways aren’t without trade offs

  [00:09:02.919]
  because they aren’t native code.

  [00:09:05.110]
  They drain the battery faster.

  [00:09:07.330]
  In addition, while P W ays

  [00:09:09.350]
  offer access to device capabilities,

  [00:09:12.000]
  it’s inconsistent and dozen support

  [00:09:14.399]
  all the features. Native APS do

  [00:09:20.110]
  react. Native is a job, a script library

  [00:09:22.759]
  that makes it possible to create mobile

  [00:09:25.080]
  applications that are nearly indistinguishable

  [00:09:28.049]
  from native applications. Made

  [00:09:30.100]
  using Objective C or Java.

  [00:09:33.019]
  It’s directly native, which means react

  [00:09:35.309]
  native ties directly into

  [00:09:37.559]
  native code, toe access, OS styling

  [00:09:40.070]
  and device capabilities.

  [00:09:42.740]
  Because it’s JavaScript

  [00:09:44.580]
  reactive, it’s cross platform

  [00:09:47.240]
  development is faster and less expensive,

  [00:09:50.139]
  and there are many more developers with JavaScript

  [00:09:52.679]
  skills than pure need of

  [00:09:54.700]
  experience.

  [00:09:57.019]
  Standing up a react Native project is

  [00:09:59.100]
  challenging because the library itself doesn’t

  [00:10:01.379]
  have Dev ops built into it.

  [00:10:04.120]
  While of react. Native has a large and diverse

  [00:10:06.340]
  ecosystem of components and native

  [00:10:08.620]
  device integrations.

  [00:10:10.330]
  Getting into the native code may be necessary

  [00:10:12.840]
  from time to time

  [00:10:14.210]
  if what is needed has not been done

  [00:10:16.409]
  before.

  [00:10:20.340]
  So I’ve been talking a lot about the different types

  [00:10:22.899]
  of

  [00:10:23.929]
  frameworks and technologies you can

  [00:10:26.029]
  use to make mobile applications.

  [00:10:28.139]
  But what does that have to do with men? Dicks?

  [00:10:31.139]
  Well, medics being a low code

  [00:10:33.210]
  application development platform and

  [00:10:35.600]
  a general purpose one at that

  [00:10:37.539]
  actually gives you the possibility to

  [00:10:39.679]
  make

  [00:10:40.879]
  a number of these different types of

  [00:10:43.000]
  mobile applications in one

  [00:10:45.490]
  project from a single Kobe’s.

  [00:10:48.080]
  So with men dicks, it’s possible to make

  [00:10:50.370]
  hybrid applications,

  [00:10:52.090]
  progressive Web applications

  [00:10:54.200]
  and now native mobile

  [00:10:56.279]
  applications, all from

  [00:10:58.720]
  the same code base.

  [00:11:01.039]
  How is this possible?

  [00:11:03.139]
  Well, because men Dicks takes a model

  [00:11:05.429]
  driven approach

  [00:11:06.629]
  toe application development. It enables

  [00:11:09.019]
  the platform to abstract

  [00:11:11.049]
  away the complexities of using

  [00:11:13.669]
  these

  [00:11:14.559]
  different mobile application

  [00:11:16.940]
  development technologies.

  [00:11:19.139]
  As a result,

  [00:11:20.669]
  the developer experience is the same

  [00:11:23.190]
  regardless of what type of mobile application

  [00:11:25.799]
  you wish to make.

  [00:11:27.389]
  Furthermore,

  [00:11:28.840]
  because men dicks is extensible,

  [00:11:31.940]
  developers are empowered

  [00:11:34.100]
  toe add capabilities using

  [00:11:36.340]
  code. So using Java script

  [00:11:38.779]
  in this case,

  [00:11:40.100]
  or Java,

  [00:11:41.440]
  which then become reusable dragon

  [00:11:43.970]
  drop widgets and actions that

  [00:11:46.210]
  the rest of the development team can take

  [00:11:48.320]
  advantage of

  [00:11:51.710]
  At medics, we chose to

  [00:11:53.740]
  integrate react native into the

  [00:11:55.820]
  low code development experience that

  [00:11:58.019]
  we pioneered

  [00:11:59.529]
  because we recognize hybrid APS

  [00:12:02.129]
  do not meet the consumer grade

  [00:12:04.429]
  standards

  [00:12:05.509]
  and users expect from

  [00:12:07.559]
  their enterprise applications.

  [00:12:11.840]
  React. Native

  [00:12:13.039]
  has a very high regard

  [00:12:15.110]
  in the tech community, with over 10,000

  [00:12:17.490]
  contributors on get Hub

  [00:12:19.090]
  and has backing from brands like Facebook,

  [00:12:21.720]
  the originators of the framework,

  [00:12:24.090]
  Microsoft

  [00:12:25.379]
  over and many more

  [00:12:27.799]
  companies.

  [00:12:31.809]
  The benefits of bringing men dicks, low

  [00:12:34.070]
  code development capabilities together

  [00:12:36.659]
  with react natives, Native

  [00:12:38.750]
  Mobile application development capabilities

  [00:12:41.929]
  is that

  [00:12:42.840]
  you get all the benefits of react

  [00:12:44.899]
  native. In addition to that,

  [00:12:47.210]
  you get all of the Dev ops

  [00:12:49.559]
  that men dicks brings to bear out of the box.

  [00:12:52.539]
  So all of that hard scaffolding

  [00:12:54.870]
  of new projects for react native

  [00:12:57.139]
  projects

  [00:12:58.100]
  that goes away it’s a simple is just

  [00:13:00.350]
  creating a new app and boom,

  [00:13:02.519]
  you’re right in the environment and your building.

  [00:13:06.039]
  That visual development

  [00:13:07.600]
  with Paige templates, building blocks

  [00:13:09.659]
  and snippets increases

  [00:13:11.779]
  the front end development efficiency

  [00:13:14.210]
  so that you can reuse different

  [00:13:16.840]
  front end elements over and over

  [00:13:18.879]
  again. And you can

  [00:13:21.029]
  easily style and chase us, and I’ll

  [00:13:23.039]
  talk about that in a moment.

  [00:13:25.220]
  Do you reuse and share model

  [00:13:27.830]
  and control aspects of a nap with

  [00:13:29.840]
  other channels

  [00:13:31.059]
  in the same project?

  [00:13:32.720]
  So let’s say you’re building a responsive Web

  [00:13:34.990]
  application

  [00:13:36.240]
  along with a new application

  [00:13:38.379]
  that has hybrid

  [00:13:41.639]
  capabilities.

  [00:13:43.240]
  In addition to that, you can add native

  [00:13:45.500]
  Mobile right in the same project and

  [00:13:47.600]
  use the same domain model and use

  [00:13:49.809]
  the same micro flows and functions

  [00:13:52.879]
  to provide

  [00:13:54.690]
  the appropriate user experience for

  [00:13:56.860]
  the appropriate channel that

  [00:13:59.259]
  the application is intended for.

  [00:14:03.340]
  It’s easy to customize the properties

  [00:14:05.490]
  for the widgets

  [00:14:07.139]
  and the front and elements in the development

  [00:14:09.230]
  experience because they’re all built

  [00:14:11.259]
  with react.

  [00:14:12.940]
  And that’s the great thing, because you get to take

  [00:14:15.039]
  advantage of react natives extensive

  [00:14:17.460]
  library

  [00:14:18.450]
  of components through mend explicable

  [00:14:20.820]
  widgets and JavaScript action capabilities.

  [00:14:23.460]
  So if there’s a react which it you like to

  [00:14:25.509]
  use, you can drop that in and start

  [00:14:27.549]
  using it and create a reasonable component.

  [00:14:31.940]
  Lastly,

  [00:14:33.919]
  this combination of low code

  [00:14:36.240]
  and react native together

  [00:14:38.389]
  gives you the ability

  [00:14:39.970]
  to spend more time focusing on solving the

  [00:14:42.049]
  problem

  [00:14:42.960]
  and enhancing the user and customer

  [00:14:45.009]
  experience

  [00:14:46.129]
  than spending time writing code,

  [00:14:48.740]
  because that low code

  [00:14:50.470]
  capability

  [00:14:51.769]
  enables you to move faster

  [00:14:54.240]
  and build that seem

  [00:14:56.440]
  high quality output.

  [00:15:00.240]
  So what we’ve accomplished at Bendix is an

  [00:15:02.299]
  abstracted cross platform

  [00:15:04.389]
  approach

  [00:15:05.309]
  to delivering native mobile applications

  [00:15:07.690]
  faster than traditional coating

  [00:15:09.899]
  at a lower total cost

  [00:15:11.789]
  without sacrificing quality

  [00:15:14.250]
  in the output.

  [00:15:18.450]
  Recently, I had the opportunity to

  [00:15:20.610]
  collaborate on an application with my team.

  [00:15:23.639]
  At first I was skeptical of what

  [00:15:25.830]
  I’d be able to achieve, creating native

  [00:15:27.960]
  pages and taking advantage of device

  [00:15:30.090]
  functionality.

  [00:15:31.940]
  What I found is that the developer experience

  [00:15:34.470]
  is identical to building any other

  [00:15:36.769]
  kind of medics application.

  [00:15:39.279]
  It was really cool to be ableto add barcode

  [00:15:41.730]
  scanning to the AP,

  [00:15:43.110]
  sets in properties for styling in data

  [00:15:45.269]
  can activity and then see the APP

  [00:15:47.470]
  refresh happened over the air instantly

  [00:15:50.210]
  and start using the capability

  [00:15:52.440]
  that I just

  [00:15:53.669]
  added to this application.

  [00:15:56.639]
  I understand this sounds a bit self serving

  [00:15:58.740]
  because I worked for medics.

  [00:16:00.529]
  So let’s talk to a customer and learn

  [00:16:02.759]
  more about their experience using

  [00:16:04.860]
  medics to build native mobile

  [00:16:07.230]
  applications.

  [00:16:12.240]
  Today, I’m joined by Yost Landman

  [00:16:14.279]
  from Rob a bank. Yost is a business

  [00:16:16.370]
  architect using medics to build native

  [00:16:18.669]
  mobile applications.

  [00:16:20.440]
  Yost Thanks for being with us for low code

  [00:16:22.610]
  and 30

  [00:16:23.940]
  Thank you for inviting me. Great to be here.

  [00:16:27.100]
  You tell our viewers a little bit about

  [00:16:29.250]
  rob a bank and what it is that you do for the company.

  [00:16:32.940]
  OK, Rob a bank is

  [00:16:35.049]
  one of the three large banks

  [00:16:37.120]
  in the Netherlands. Domestically, it’s focuses

  [00:16:39.610]
  on retail banking, but internationally

  [00:16:42.019]
  it’s primarily focused on

  [00:16:44.460]
  banking for food, and this means we

  [00:16:46.700]
  finance food and agriculture business

  [00:16:48.990]
  and in that international area. My role

  [00:16:51.299]
  as ah this is architect is to drive

  [00:16:53.529]
  the architect You’re efficient and road map in

  [00:16:55.809]
  both the domain of financing

  [00:16:58.470]
  farmers

  [00:16:59.889]
  and the domain of what we call

  [00:17:02.070]
  international direct banking. And

  [00:17:04.170]
  that’s all about online retail savings.

  [00:17:06.980]
  Rabobank has been amended customer

  [00:17:09.230]
  for a few years now. Can

  [00:17:11.250]
  you tell me a little bit? Why

  [00:17:13.380]
  rob a bank chose medics to develop

  [00:17:15.710]
  applications a few years ago

  [00:17:17.759]
  in this Ah, this area of online

  [00:17:20.049]
  retail savings.

  [00:17:21.440]
  We were going through a transformation

  [00:17:24.440]
  for ah well, Rabobank, Belgium

  [00:17:26.769]
  and hobble direct in Germany. Because

  [00:17:29.019]
  over the years those banks have grown into,

  [00:17:31.160]
  ah, situation

  [00:17:33.839]
  where we had expensive beckoned systems

  [00:17:36.740]
  at an online banking channel that was

  [00:17:39.460]
  difficult and slow to change.

  [00:17:42.539]
  This costs our savings money

  [00:17:44.829]
  so that the savings that we gathered

  [00:17:46.900]
  from retail customers

  [00:17:48.789]
  to be quite expensive on.

  [00:17:50.960]
  At the same time, the customer experience

  [00:17:53.130]
  in that Web channel was liking behind

  [00:17:55.299]
  compared to the competition.

  [00:17:57.789]
  So we have decided Thio

  [00:17:59.970]
  well, basically redesigned the complete I D

  [00:18:02.150]
  landscape and

  [00:18:03.329]
  for the online banking general, we chose

  [00:18:05.369]
  to build it in such a way that would be

  [00:18:07.549]
  faster change and at the same time, relatively

  [00:18:10.140]
  low cost

  [00:18:11.440]
  on the solution. We, ah, we found,

  [00:18:13.730]
  was a combination of

  [00:18:16.940]
  just a basic

  [00:18:18.240]
  off the shelf web content management

  [00:18:20.410]
  system.

  [00:18:21.309]
  For all the static content in

  [00:18:23.359]
  the Web channel

  [00:18:24.640]
  with a no coat application

  [00:18:27.349]
  platform to build all the interaction components

  [00:18:30.380]
  on that no coats

  [00:18:31.829]
  platform,

  [00:18:33.289]
  the one we chose was medics

  [00:18:35.789]
  because it ah, for us it stood out

  [00:18:38.009]
  from its competition

  [00:18:39.980]
  in ah, user

  [00:18:42.380]
  interferes design and in beckoned

  [00:18:44.480]
  integrations.

  [00:18:45.740]
  So that’s how we, uh, came in contact with

  [00:18:47.819]
  men dicks. And you have I

  [00:18:50.180]
  remember hearing you spoke it. Ah,

  [00:18:52.190]
  use book, a medics world. And I remember

  [00:18:54.390]
  he’s starting off your presentation.

  [00:18:56.809]
  You said

  [00:18:57.750]
  1,000,000

  [00:19:00.200]
  customers

  [00:19:01.220]
  using our

  [00:19:02.730]
  medics built, swept, gentle

  [00:19:04.789]
  for online banking. Yes. So

  [00:19:07.109]
  now you’re making native mobile

  [00:19:09.250]
  APS

  [00:19:10.240]
  with medics. And

  [00:19:12.640]
  can you tell me a little bit about

  [00:19:14.740]
  these mobile absent your building

  [00:19:16.859]
  and the problems that they saw off?

  [00:19:19.240]
  Yes. We’re gonna be building ah

  [00:19:21.279]
  mobile labs for ah again Kabul,

  [00:19:23.390]
  Bank Belgium, and have a direct in Germany.

  [00:19:26.740]
  And, um,

  [00:19:27.980]
  a couple of years ago, we actually had ah

  [00:19:30.369]
  mobile app for, ah,

  [00:19:32.400]
  aisles and Androids,

  [00:19:34.650]
  but it just proved too expensive

  [00:19:36.829]
  to maintain and to

  [00:19:39.069]
  keep improving it.

  [00:19:40.740]
  This is a fairly small team and

  [00:19:43.170]
  there is a real cost pressure.

  [00:19:46.359]
  So now, in order to

  [00:19:48.740]
  at the same time keep the cost low,

  [00:19:50.750]
  but also the customer experience high.

  [00:19:53.269]
  We, um,

  [00:19:54.740]
  wants to build our mobile app

  [00:19:57.339]
  in the same technology as a Web channel

  [00:19:59.720]
  so we can have the same team building

  [00:20:01.890]
  and maintaining it

  [00:20:03.339]
  on dhe and also so we can share

  [00:20:06.089]
  of the technical components between the Web

  [00:20:08.170]
  Channel and the mobile F General.

  [00:20:10.240]
  We really wanted to build this mobile

  [00:20:12.329]
  app with medics

  [00:20:14.440]
  with the IOS and android app. So you have to maintain

  [00:20:16.789]
  those separately and with a small

  [00:20:18.900]
  team that becomes really difficult to do that.

  [00:20:21.549]
  And one of the things

  [00:20:23.009]
  with building the maid Native mobile

  [00:20:25.410]
  app with Bendix is you get that cross

  [00:20:27.460]
  platform capabilities that react native

  [00:20:29.630]
  brings to the table so you can build

  [00:20:31.789]
  once and basically deployed to two

  [00:20:33.940]
  both operating systems. Is

  [00:20:35.990]
  there something special about the native

  [00:20:38.250]
  app versus going with a hybrid

  [00:20:40.890]
  or with the progressive Web application

  [00:20:43.839]
  that made you choose the native

  [00:20:45.890]
  path versus some other options

  [00:20:48.069]
  that you have in mobile application development.

  [00:20:51.599]
  Yeah, we actually tried to build

  [00:20:53.920]
  ah hybrid at first,

  [00:20:56.579]
  So we tried to ah, drives

  [00:20:58.619]
  the harbor bath initially,

  [00:21:01.819]
  and ah,

  [00:21:02.970]
  I have to tell you building and maintaining

  [00:21:05.059]
  a mobile app that offers a

  [00:21:07.180]
  good experience in the first

  [00:21:09.410]
  place. But it’s also very

  [00:21:11.410]
  secure, as you would expect for a bank is

  [00:21:13.430]
  actually not that easy.

  [00:21:14.789]
  And in our small team, we can’t

  [00:21:16.920]
  have a lot of security

  [00:21:19.230]
  expert. He’s on the floor. So we decided

  [00:21:21.539]
  to use it off the shelf, authentication

  [00:21:24.740]
  on basically security as decayed to give

  [00:21:26.910]
  us a head start in that area

  [00:21:28.940]
  and build a proof of concept integrating

  [00:21:31.920]
  that security solution that has its

  [00:21:34.210]
  own native screens for

  [00:21:36.240]
  things like Logan and transaction signing. And we

  [00:21:38.289]
  try to integrate that with ah, hybrid

  [00:21:40.549]
  app built with Mannix.

  [00:21:43.539]
  We got it working perfectly fine in the

  [00:21:45.549]
  end, but

  [00:21:47.430]
  well, we

  [00:21:48.880]
  we realized while evaluating

  [00:21:50.880]
  that technical skills that we would need

  [00:21:53.339]
  to maintain this would be our

  [00:21:55.519]
  to facilitating, is in a small development

  [00:21:57.980]
  team because we will. We actually needed quite

  [00:22:00.250]
  a few different technical skills

  [00:22:03.180]
  to

  [00:22:04.200]
  integrate the

  [00:22:05.579]
  native part with the hybrid part,

  [00:22:08.640]
  So he uses X Ken and switch

  [00:22:10.940]
  from, Ah, hybrid screen doing native scream

  [00:22:13.230]
  and back

  [00:22:15.140]
  and, uh, come back in

  [00:22:17.460]
  the right context.

  [00:22:20.259]
  Right? And at the same time, we realized it’s well,

  [00:22:22.859]
  as you know, building hybrid app.

  [00:22:25.349]
  User experience will be,

  [00:22:28.809]
  well, average at best.

  [00:22:32.539]
  We just didn’t want to settle for that

  [00:22:36.019]
  exactly that moment

  [00:22:37.740]
  way

  [00:22:39.750]
  were in contact with mandates. A

  [00:22:41.769]
  ll the time, of course. But they they

  [00:22:44.329]
  recognized it and offered

  [00:22:46.599]
  this Ah, back then, brand new

  [00:22:48.690]
  and still beta feature of react

  [00:22:50.950]
  native

  [00:22:51.880]
  on dhe. Well, that seemed to actually solve both

  [00:22:54.180]
  the skills issue for us as well as that

  [00:22:56.240]
  user experience issue.

  [00:22:59.339]
  Perfect match.

  [00:23:00.940]
  What’s their experience been like so far

  [00:23:03.460]
  developing native Mobile with

  [00:23:05.470]
  Bendix? What? What’s that been

  [00:23:07.619]
  like and what they like about it?

  [00:23:10.039]
  Well, the team tells me, um,

  [00:23:13.269]
  that these modeling environments in

  [00:23:15.579]
  Mannix ate it works like a charm. It’s ah,

  [00:23:18.640]
  it was fully stable. Said it couldn’t actually build

  [00:23:20.890]
  the features they

  [00:23:22.089]
  they want to build in the sprint, and it works a

  [00:23:24.180]
  nice and and also there. Ah,

  [00:23:27.190]
  really excited. How are manic state?

  [00:23:29.410]
  Makes it easy to write their ah,

  [00:23:31.759]
  custom widgets to integrates with

  [00:23:34.059]
  any react native libraries.

  [00:23:36.309]
  That’s just amazing.

  [00:23:38.759]
  I’ve I’ve been working

  [00:23:41.089]
  with it now for the past

  [00:23:43.319]
  few weeks in the preparation for

  [00:23:45.650]
  this webinar and as

  [00:23:47.720]
  someone who’s

  [00:23:49.220]
  not a traditional developer

  [00:23:51.569]
  but someone who’s learned to develop

  [00:23:53.569]
  software over the years. I was

  [00:23:55.599]
  just blown away by

  [00:23:57.140]
  how easy the modeling environment

  [00:23:59.269]
  makes it for you to be able

  [00:24:01.380]
  to create these consumer great experiences

  [00:24:04.339]
  and then go ahead

  [00:24:06.539]
  and test them out and and see

  [00:24:09.329]
  the result of that

  [00:24:11.650]
  in such a short period of time. It’s just

  [00:24:14.170]
  it’s just a great experience. I imagine your team

  [00:24:16.309]
  feels very simple, amazing, with the basic

  [00:24:18.759]
  understanding of how I D developments

  [00:24:21.240]
  works

  [00:24:22.299]
  that you actually able to do so much more

  [00:24:24.609]
  with Bendix.

  [00:24:25.539]
  It helps you doing the

  [00:24:27.619]
  things that’s that

  [00:24:29.339]
  before we’re only it

  [00:24:31.430]
  could only be done by by

  [00:24:33.549]
  experience. Development,

  [00:24:35.640]
  yes, and in the platform basically

  [00:24:38.089]
  helps them through the complete lifecycle

  [00:24:40.599]
  management as well,

  [00:24:42.240]
  so they can basically focus on delivering

  [00:24:44.640]
  functionality instead of on

  [00:24:46.839]
  on all the technical things that they

  [00:24:48.880]
  also have to do in

  [00:24:51.400]
  in other circumstances.

  [00:24:54.640]
  Yeah, I’m also impressed You know, we’re

  [00:24:57.019]
  now three releases into

  [00:24:59.839]
  the general availability

  [00:25:01.900]
  of the native mobile capabilities,

  [00:25:04.099]
  and the R and D team and the

  [00:25:06.119]
  products team are batting new functionality

  [00:25:08.539]
  every month to the capability. I imagine

  [00:25:10.839]
  your team is always watching

  [00:25:13.369]
  what’s new coming out that they be ableto

  [00:25:15.990]
  take advantage of in these Absent their building.

  [00:25:20.240]
  Yeah, absolutely, absolutely

  [00:25:22.940]

  the progress that you’re making using

  [00:25:31.650]
  Native Mobile and that it’s able to do

  [00:25:34.369]
  the things that you needed to be able

  [00:25:36.470]
  to do, especially with Bendix, to solve

  [00:25:38.559]
  the problems that you have and also

  [00:25:40.940]

  [00:25:43.200]

  companies and employers engage

  [00:26:05.460]
  with us.

  [00:26:06.970]
  The smartphone is a main driver

  [00:26:09.279]
  for capturing more of our mind share,

  [00:26:12.039]
  and it’s because makers of the apse

  [00:26:14.279]
  know

  [00:26:15.230]
  that users will interact with them or

  [00:26:17.670]
  if the experience reduces friction

  [00:26:20.180]
  and makes their lives easier.

  [00:26:25.940]
  That’s why I’m Index gives you freedom

  applications, all from the same code

  [00:26:39.920]
  base, so it becomes a business

  [00:26:42.089]
  decision which technology you want to use

  [00:26:44.599]
  to make your mobile application.

  [00:26:46.740]
  What’s great is that there is this great

  [00:26:49.049]
  reusability across all three

  [00:26:51.140]
  mobile app types.

  [00:27:00.940]
  As Yost Land been stated,

  [00:27:02.940]
  Rob, a bank chose medics because

  [00:27:04.980]
  it’s team can move fast, keep
