Abstract

The Enterprise mobility communication technology provides easy and quick accessibility to data and information integrated into one single touch point device. This device incorporates or integrates all the processes into small applications or App and thus increases the workforce capability of knowledge workers. “App” which is a small set of programming statements installed on a mobile device. It facilitates the easy retrieval of information while the users are mobile. A single touch point can be loaded with the required data and information all the time. The readiness and availability of data facility can reduce the turnaround response time. The application of mobile technology has already picked up the market in distinguished domain worldwide. In the Indian education sector this technology is yet to be adopted. This paper aims at showing how enterprise mobility can facilitate the University system and user preferences in the mobile App. The paper also highlights how data mining techniques can be applied to various processes, hence exploring user patterns. A new model using data mining techniques is proposed.
