Your company decides to implement a mobile application initiative and has chosen which database, handheld, and software packages to use. They're ready to start creating a mobile solution when someone asks, 'How do we deploy a new version?'
Historically, the applications that we developers have written are targeted for desktop computers. Our clients have been confined to computer terminals, surrounded by four walls and connected to a network.
