4 . Consider the whole app lifecycle Apps require frequent updates and upgrades so choosing an infrastructure that reduces the management burden by enabling updates to be pushed or pulled from the cloud or an enterprise app store will pay dividends . Using an enterprise-grade mobile back-end as a service ( MBaaS ) with an API infrastructure enables legacy systems to be easily accessed by mobile devices . The best mobile app platforms transmit a small filtered set of data from the back-end to avoid overloading the handset .
5 . Take a MAP with you RedMonk analyst , Donnie Berkholz has commented that enterprises need to find ways to speed up their app production . He warns that providers that are not truly cloud-based will find it increasingly difficult to deliver the levels of app agility now required by enterprises .
Selecting a Mobile Application Platform ( MAP ) allows enterprises to plan their mobile app strategies , without worrying about redeveloping code for every new batch of devices or new OS . With some organisations requiring anywhere from 10-100 apps to serve different business units , the time required to build apps can appear prohibitive . The right mobile platform can reduce app development time from six months to just 60-90 days . The key is to reuse application code and back-end services where possible in order to speed integration .
Conclusion It ’ s time to dispel the old myths surrounding mobile app development being too costly , complex and lengthy . Enterprises need to be aware that today ’ s technology allows for the swift creation of apps without vendor lock-ins and without compromising existing IT governance . Agile , open , collaborative and powerful cloud-based mobile application platforms enable bimodal IT and allow enterprises to become mobile-first .
