Hi Community,
I was just wondering - who would like to have an ARIS MashZone App for the brand new Apple iPad? Do you believe that in future process owners will design there as-is processes using the iPad? Looking forward hearing your thoughts.
Cheers
Joerg
I would love to see! In this case I would really think about buying an iPad to see my heating dashboard "always on" ;-)

Hi Joerg,
I think you have the similar dream as I have seen about 3 mnths back.
I was wondering how much sense it will make to develop BPM application or tool for handheld devices or smartphones. It might be iPhone or iPad or any other handheld device.
Follow the discussion on this link:

I'll appreciate your ideas.

I am the happy owner of an iPad, and MashZone is an obvious (and I would expect potentially very usefull) app. on iPad / iPhone.
There are multiple examples in the app. store of what is really "customizable data aggregation app.s" (e.g. the Roambi or the Bloomberg), and the on-the-move, always-on, intuitive nature of tablets/SmartPhones make them great for this sort of use.
However, I think there is even greater potential is the creative phases of BPM work. Take a look at iBrainStorm, and imagine working like that with Aris.. Now imagine linking multiple people developing ideas like this, projected on a big screen..
Off course a moderator would have to stop everybody now and then to gather and group ideas, but this - I think - is the closest we will come to the intuitive "post-it / wall" process.
Mashzone on a tablet would be really awesome. :-)
But how could we by-pass the fact that Apple doesn't support Flash? I think there is one solution. But it's not very Apple friendly. There are some competitors on the tablet market and one rival is Samsung with his "Galaxy Tab". It uses as operation system Android which is very promising and it official supports Flash since version 2.1

Short of cracking the iPad, a solution could be to migrate Aris to a non-falsh format, or building an application that runs flash (I would imagine that is possible without Apples intervention).
Alternatively, other tablets would be a solution (although I have yet to see anyone seriously challenge the usability of the iPad).
Though we can say that iPad is used for business purposes, there are also numerous people who would want buying it due to its portability. Gladly, the Apple iPad is now available at Amazon, the cradle of Kindle, an e-reader the iPad has blown out of the water. The iPad debuted at Target last week and Amazon is the first online retailer to sell the "Kindle Killer" other than Apple. Making the iPad accessible on Amazon extends Apple’s lead on a legion of wannabe rivals and sets up a mutually beneficial relationship between the two companies.
