As mobile software providers increasingly target the enterprise market, IT and business decision-makers must be able to examine the offerings objectively, within the context of the business.
This research note provides a framework for discussing and assessing mobile applications, and includes the following components:
- A broad definition of mobile applications.
- A classification approach that identifies and prioritizes the complexity characteristics of different mobile applications.
- Analysis of existing mobile applications targeting the enterprise market.
Info-Tech's complexity profiling system provides a clear, structured approach to analyzing mobile solutions and their requirements. Future notes on mobile applications will incorporate this system to offer more targeted guidance for each stage of adoption.
