Organizations are increasingly adopting Mobility for their business processes which has ultimately fueled the need of Enterprise Mobile Applications. In such a scenario, software vendors need to work harder not only to produce similar mobile applications as are already present on mobile devices but also need to mobilize their existing software offerings.

The objective is to create enterprise mobile applications that enhance business value for mobile end users, reduce costs, offer seamless connectivity to the corporate network and result in improved customer satisfaction.

To achieve the above mentioned objectives, organizations need to ensure that the following requirements are met:

• Privacy & Confidentiality: Since corporate data can now be accessed by various devices like smartphones and tablets from beyond the boundaries of the organization, data privacy has become a major issue here. Hence it’s important that your mobility solution partner puts special emphasis on security areas like data confidentiality, encryption, device level security and remote wipe etc.
• Technical expertise across multiple mobile platforms: Since employees as well as customers use a variety of mobile devices including smartphones, laptops, tablets etc. with different underlying platforms, it is important that you choose a service provider who has strong technical skills across multiple platforms and has the ability to develop and port hybrid applications with ease.
• Faster time to market: With changing market conditions and emerging opportunities, business processes change much faster and clients require improved mobility applications with new features in a shorter time span and with frequent changes. For this, it is important that the mobility provider utilizes efficient development models like cross platform app development, reusable code and automated testing procedures to produce faster applications seamlessly at the right time.
• Industry /Domain expertise: Mobilization of business processes goes much beyond just technology interfaces and faster applications. Enterprises value business partners who can help them understand the client work processes in a better way and the issues their clients might be facing in the day to day operations of the business. For this to happen, the mobility partner should be well versed with the industry processes and should be able to lead business transformation initiatives while implementing mobile strategies.
