Curt Sigfstead serves as head of West Coast technology investment banking with JPMorgan and engages with diverse corporate clients in revenue and account planning capacities. Among the areas in which Curt Sigfstead has extensive knowledge are software as a service (SaaS) and cloud and mobile technologies. With the iPhone having pioneered the concept of the apps powered by cloud connectivity a decade ago, enterprise-grade applications are now a part of many workers’ daily life. Featuring simple, user-centric interfaces, mobile apps feature ever-increasing power under the hood. The cloud is an ideal environment for hosting mobile apps for a number of reasons, including a distributed infrastructure that incorporates localized data centers that cache content in as close a proximity to on-the-move physical devices as possible. Cloud platforms also are advantageous for the way they employ lightweight APIs and XML and JSON formats, which are geared toward smaller data bursts than traditional applications and are ideal for mobile devices. In addition, because of the way mobile users transition between network connections, the traditional session-based security model is becoming outmoded. OAuth and other token-based authentication models that fill that security gap are designed specifically for cloud-based architectures.
