May was mCommerce Month at Mobile ID World, and in addition to the constant stream of financial identity management industry news, we offered up some on topic interviews and two feature articles.
Here is a look back on what we talked about as we talked about mCommerce.
Getting Started
On the surface, it’s tempting to reduce mCommerce to it’s most basic explanation: mobility plus finance. That doesn’t even come close to doing the topic justice. What kinds of strong authentication are helping bring this innovation to the mainstream consumers? What do relying parties get from it? What are the expert opinions.
We started the month off with an in depth mCommerce primer so that you had all the examples you needed for a crash course in the holy grail of consumer mobile ID.
mCommerce Month Feature One: The Primer
Convenience and Security
Of all the most interesting topics under the umbrella of mCommerce, nothing seems to be as simultaneously important and overlooked as the end user experience. In our mCommerce Month feature article, we take a look at what a real life physical mobile payment solution and a smartphone banking application need to address in order to gain traction in the consumer marketplace.
mCommerce Month Feature Two: The Importance of the End User Experience
Ask an Expert
Nothing quite helps illustrate what an area of application really means to a company producing solutions for it than an actual discussion with an expert. Just this week, Mobile ID World president Peter O’Neill interviewed Julia Webb, vice president of marketing at VoiceVault. The conversation begins with Julia explaining how use cases of VoiceVault’s technology have evolved since their initial deployments in the financial space.
