Develop Enterprise Mobile Applications With Realistic and Relevant Performance
Leverage web technologies to build better performing mobile applications that end users will actually use.
View Storyboard
Your Challenge
- Developers are time-constrained when building mobile apps, which results in poor performance from the very beginning.
- Developers lack the expertise, processes, and proper tools to effectively enhance applications for mobile performance.
- Underperforming mobile applications can cause your employees to be unproductive and unsatisfied, limiting uptake.
Our Advice
Critical Insight
- CEOs see mobile for employees as their top mandate for upcoming technology innovation initiatives.
- Organizations are looking to go beyond current development practices to provide better performing mobile applications that end users can be productive with.
- Enable your developers with the 11 key optimization techniques from Info-Tech’s development toolkit.
Impact and Result
- Create a repeatable process for your developers to continually evaluate and optimize mobile application performance.
- Build capabilities within your team based on Info-Tech’s framework.
- Support ongoing usability and performance improvements through monitoring and metric analysis.
