Key concern areas of users

Do I have to remember multiple URLs and login

passwords?

Are these applications validated and have secured

access?

Does the application comply to all regulatory

requirements?

How to install, access, and apply latest upgrades?

Can I access it on iOS devices, or android devices, or

both?

How do I take advantage of existing Point-to-Point (P2P)

integrations?

Can I access applications both online and offline?

How will my data get synchronized?

Can I personalize my view?

How can I use it for socialization, communities, and blogs?

Proposed Idea
and Solution

Proposed idea and solution

This paper discusses the opportunity to develop an Oracle Life
Sciences portal solution using Responsive Web Design
(RWD) via Oracle Mobile Platform leveraging HTML5, CSS3,
and JQuery 1.9 concepts. So it can run on both Apple iOS and
Google android devices.

Secured and centralized portal

Unified view
Device-agnostic
Hybrid application

#InfosysAtOOW

What is RWD?
Responsive Web Design (RWD) is an implementation strategy aimed at designing applications that respond to the users behavior. It
provides an optimal viewing experience independent of screen size, platform (Android, iOS), and orientation, enabling its usage on desktops,
laptops, tablets, and mobile devices.

One URL

Single content

One code

jQuery mobile

CSS3 media queries

Key features of RWD

Flexible grid
Flexible images
CSS3 media queries
