Stay on Top of Today’s and Tomorrow’s Mobile App Trends
It’s time to go beyond basic mobile apps and start offering innovative and valuable solutions.
- The days of offering baseline mobile capabilities such as email, enterprise storage, and collaboration are behind us. Today, businesses are looking at mobile as a means of offering improved and innovative business services and capabilities to remain competitive.
- The mobile landscape is continually evolving. It is hard to predict which trends will make a significant impact and difficult to prepare for them.
Our Advice
Critical Insight
- Mobile innovation has its risks. Exposure to sensitive enterprise systems, the rise of new attack surfaces, and the relative nascence of some mobile development frameworks adds to the complexity.
- Tomorrow’s trends can be a complete shift from what they are today. Without a strong mobile dev foundation, apps are developed with broken functionality which results in low user satisfaction and adoption.
- Enable today’s mobile trends in your existing apps to remain competitive. Offer value to the business in the form of new or enhanced services. You run the risk of losing out on significant opportunities if not examined.
- Prepare for tomorrow’s trends with emphasis on security, performance, and API dev competencies. Misaligned dev may limit the scalability and availability of your platform for future dev.
Impact and Result
- Learn about trending mobile technologies that will give you a competitive advantage: Select the trends that are aligned and support your overall business strategy and value creation objectives.
- Strengthen your mobile dev components and competencies to ease your trend enablement: Assess the integration, dependencies, and data of your mobile stack, and identify the necessary components and skills that will enable development of today’s trending mobile capabilities.
- Look beyond today’s trends and prepare: Stay informed with the evolution of mobile technologies and prepare your teams and stack for future mobile enhancements with tomorrow’s mobile trends.
