• and attendees

• View where my workspace/meeting is located

• Check in

• Cancel

21

Deployment Considerations

• Goal: Mobile API is backwards and forward compatible

• Apps from public app stores tend to get updated automatically

as soon as an update is available

• You must commit to immediately update to the latest major

release

• For large deployments, we recommend a private app store

• Mobile App: Native iOS/Android App

• Web App: Web interface for everyday users

(aka Virtual EMS)

• Mobile Web: Mobile version of the Web App, accessed

via the browser on a mobile phone
