Mobile application development today has completely changed the way people work – both in personal life as well as business. There seems to be a mobile app that is available for everything you do. Personally or professionally. Businesses are also turning towards mobile applications that will benefit their employees and customers and in the long run improve productivity of their businesses.
Developing enterprise mobile apps is not easy. There are a lot of things to consider. Well, the distributed enterprises with multiple technologies that include legacy as well as new age infrastructure require a lot of planning in order to develop the most appropriate mobile app.
Here are a few do’s and don’ts for enterprise mobile application development:
Do’s:
Use Experience
Make sure that you design for the users. Mobile devices are fundamentally different from the desktops and laptops. So, do not simply port the designs. The form factor for mobile devices is different, they have less processing resources and input mechanisms are different. Optimize your mobile design to suit all this in order to provide a great user experience.
Sensors
Mobile devices of today come with G or LTE, a camera, GPS, accelerometers, Bluetooth and wi-fi (and some also include near field communication sensors too). Make the most of these features.
Empower the users
Mobile devices are always within reach of employees – develop an app that truly empowers them. A well planned and thought of app will enable users to work efficiently and be more productive.
Real Time
Mobile devices are always connected. So, any information that user wants to access or wishes to update to the organization’s central database can be done real time. Make sure you remember this while designing your app.
Don’ts:
Don’t create an app for the sake of it
Spend time identifying the purpose of your enterprise mobile application. Don’t create one just for the sake of it.
Learn From other apps – Don’t copy!
Do not copy an existing app. At the most, you can look at similar apps and learn from them.
Don’t take everything “mobile”
Identify the business processes of your organization that require to be mobile. Do not mobilize everything for the sake of it. Do not develop something that nobody will use.
