2. Enterprise mobile app development projects are hurriedly
taking place all around business world. But a mobile app
developments commissioned with no full-grown scheme can
hardly have impact on anyone who uses it. That’s why there is
need of the best of the strategies for an app development,
particularly if it’s aimed at taking care of internal/external
processes of a business.
From employees’ point of view, an enterprise app must smartly
resolve issues related to phone calls, emails, and other
messages delivered in their devices whether employees are ‘off
site’ or ‘on site’.
An enterprise app is based on various forms of communications
which are created around calls, email, messages and sending
files between devices. It sounds easy to create an app with
using these communication-forms but without proper planning,
things generally fall apart.
IT department of a business may stand responsible to see
mobile app requirements for different processes. They can get
it done either with own in-house development team or by
hiring a third part mobile application development company.
Whoever is creating the app, the flow of processes or
information should happen in real time, whether it is for
product, service, customer, or data.
3. The very basic thing to be considered by a mobile application
development team is how many device they will cover in a
single project. As today’s market demands, there are three
major platforms – Android, iOS and Windows Phone for which
apps are developed. Then we have cross platform mobile app
development trend too. Also, with increasing volume of
transactions, and number of business processes, scalability of
mobile solutions will turn out to be the key constraint for the
mobile application development team if it does not carefully
select platform, development technologies and servers.
Others areas of an enterprise mobile application development
to be considered about include budget-limit, real time
information access and delivery (a critical requirement for most
enterprise apps), adaptability of app according to rapidly
changing business needs and user habits.
Apart above mentioned basic issues, there are other things in
the way of successfully implementing an enterprise app.
However we cannot address them all but major tree are as
follows:
Keep the development simple even for complex solution
While trying to cover multiple platforms, developers are
supposed to have specialized knowledge of working on multiple
platforms and technologies. Of course, the cost of whole
process will also increase with increasing number of platforms.
4. But every app, expected to do well, require individual
development of client-side UI, platform-specific navigation
flow, server-side and back-end integration.
To solve and simplify the issue of building an app for more than
one platform, developers need to use multi-channel
development tools which allow them creating different versions
of an app from single code base. By this way the cost of
development can be minimized to bottom. Here software
porting turns out to be an effective process to easily and
quickly evolve multiple versions of single app.
Robust back-end integration is foundation of whole enterprise
process to be executed by the app.
Whatever the process type is there to be executed by an
enterprise app, its front-end should be robustly integrated with
back-end so that the required information can be fetched in
real-time.
Take the example of sales order placed by customers using
mobile device. To take care of this order, the whole channel
needs to be launched. Process will touch several core
applications such as CRM, ERP, etc. and verify whether the
product is available or not. A customer using the front app
doesn’t understand this lengthy process. All he wants is that
information should appear on his device as he taps for it. There
is no issue in showing up information as quickly as possible but
5. it’s possible only in case if the back-end has been integrated to
front-app in a robust manner.
Consider the final product with possibility of various sorts of
scalabilities that a trend or technology shift can anytime put
on the whole system.
Market keeps changing time to time and so do users. But does
an app have adaptability to bear with changes? Smart
enterprise app development is one that is already thought of
every possible change that may appear in future and then
actual product is implemented. An application should have such
scalability so that it does not get easily get collapsed because of
any technology and trend shift.
