Like the lyrics from a No 1. chart-busting blue-eyed soul tune from the when you were still looking at girls:
“She’s a craze you’d endorse, she’s a powerful force
You’re obliged to conform when there’s no other course,
She used to look good to me, but now I find her . . . wait for it . . . simply irresistible!”
It started with Google and WordPress getting together. And Google decided that your company web site needs to be “mobile-friendly”. Same with your company blog. And, of course, WordPress has a custom template for that to make sure you can be found on the net when your prospects, employees and colleagues are searching on their tablets or smart devices.
And now it’s really official. A few months ago, IDC publicized their FutureScape web conference to address the following; ten essential imperatives enterprise mobility stakeholders must address as they prioritize, develop, and execute their mobile app strategies in 2015-2018. Their top decision imperatives covered topics such as:
- Solving for the top barriers to broader enterprise “appification”
- Extended desktop, standalone, or custom: The right app for the situation and the right resources to get there
- Getting ahead of the intelligent service delivery wave
- Taking advantage of the mobile API economy
- Security’s new perimeter(s)
- Organizing IT for its new mobility and 3rd platform charter
- Additional topics included: winning over the mobile-only generation, emerging app architectures, the role of the cloud, service-enabling the mobile line-of-business, mobile application lifecycle management and app development distribution in a heterogeneous client environment.
Recently, we have noticed more buzz you need to know on custom app development trends;
- Studies show that 70% of companies are embracing mobility and building out their own custom solutions. Have you delayed your own app development projects for cost or security concerns? If so it’s time to get started. According to new research released by IDC, 2016 may just go down in the books as the Year of the Enterprise App.
- IDC found that data integration troubles will cause 45% of app development initiatives to be delayed or go over budget. With an established APIs tier, companies can mitigate many of these issues and add velocity to every mobile app development project in their program.
- There’s no way around it: mobile apps are taking over businesses of all sizes. According to these trends, it’s looking like 2016 and beyond will be huge for “appification.”
