How Do We Bring Mobile Apps Into The Enterprise Fold?

Apps usually start out as simple, one-celled organisms that begin to grow in complexity. In fact, even the top iOS Developers find it difficult to make money on App store due to varied reasons. This is why it’s predicted that most mobile applications are not designed to generate profits.

As a result, it becomes much more important and urgent to apply enterprise development approaches to enterprise mobile apps. Here are 5 best considerations before getting into mobile app development.

What To Consider In Enterprise Mobile App Development


The Application Governance Process: Starting from idealization till maintenance, Mobile App Development should be spelled out. It is not only about identifying the professional developers to conceive and build the apps but also provide guidelines and describe how apps need to be distributed and updated.

Mobile App Testing:
Unlike traditional software testing, app testing might seem complicated. Everything from the cross-platforms, operating systems and devices on which an app needs to run, it needs to be taken care of. Moreover, the general expectation among users lets you update it more frequently.

Security Standards And Practices: Similar to desktop and laptop applications, mobile apps require some additional security considerations to address “containerization”- means the apps should be downloaded in a secure and isolated area in a mobile device’s memory to enable data loss prevention. Also, establish an own secure VPN connection to a company computer. This way it is possible to isolate the app and the company’s network traffic from all other apps running on the same device.

Enterprise App Store: Also known as Enterprise app catalog, this communicates the n number of mobile apps available within the store and proactively push apps and updates out to employees so they don’t have to remember to download them.

Usage Metrics: It helps you determine if a particular mob app is truly useful and pinpoint functionality that could be improved or added in future updates. Isn’t that Great? To facilitate more, Mobile App Developers need to include other metrics like what happens after installing it and how often it can be used and at what situations.
