Let us go through top seven trends of business mobility solutions that are capable of changing the ecosystem of your organization:
- From BYOD to Multiple Devices
The Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) policy is made to implement mobility in the enterprises and entrepreneurs tend to adopt this concept swiftly with custom enterprise applications. These applications can work well on multiple devices irrespective of display size. On one hand, employees can easily download and access these apps in their devices and get the seamless connectivity. On the other hand, businesses can save big bucks on purchasing smart devices for their employees.
Here, the biggest challenge is the safety of critical business data. However, customized enterprise mobility solutions can address this challenge effectively while offering all the benefits of mobility to the business.
- IoT Gets Mainstreamed
The Internet of Things (IoT) is a futuristic technology that remains mostly in the form of smart sensors and connected devices. But, this scenario is going to change quickly because IoT has started exerting a significant influence on enterprise applications. As this tech trend gets mainstreamed, we can see that enterprise apps are becoming smarter than ever.
These days, companies use the IoT- enabled mobile apps irrespective of industry sectors and business model. Such apps let them control and manage various smart devices while promoting automation in the workplace. What’s more, the key persons can get the valuable data on their smartphones obtained from connected devices. They can also analyze the data on the move to plan and implement business strategies to make processes more effective and result-oriented.
- Cloud Becomes a Norm
A few years ago, the adoption of cloud computing concept was considered as a choice. But, in today’s data-driven world, it becomes a compelling necessity for the enterprises worldwide. Business mobility solutions are also no exception in embracing the cloud services as the technology gets matured. It is possible to access information for the companies irrespective of time and place in a cost-effective way all thanks to the cloud technology.
As enterprise mobility is primarily aimed at providing a seamless and anytime data access to the users, it is imperative for the enterprise mobility applications to shift to the cloud. Though data security concerns loom large in the current age of cyber attacks, the hybrid cloud concept can help companies deal with these concerns effectively.
- Performance-oriented Approach
Business apps need to excel in every parameter lead by the performance. Entrepreneurs want apps that can load fast and run seamlessly irrespective of network connectivity. Only such apps can give a higher RoI with an optimum outcome. This rule is applicable to enterprise mobility applications as well.
It also implies that these apps are powerful enough to serve the current needs of the users and flexible to include the features to address the future needs. In other words, the mobility applications should perform the useful functions seamlessly, and these apps can run in an offline mode also.
- Augmented Reality Becomes Prevalent
Gone are the days when the Augmented Reality (AR) technology was used to make games. Since the last few years, the AR technology has risen in prominence across the various industry sectors, and today, it is one of the fastest growing enterprise mobility trends. It can make the user experience more pleasant and lifelike.
Today, technological advancements in AR and VR (Virtual Reality) act as a bridge between the real and virtual world. When AR is integrated into the business mobility solutions, it can create a simulative experience for the users and can be used for providing training to the employees from a remote location in an interactive way.
- More Apps for Different Objectives
A sudden spike in the number of applications has made enterprise mobility a huge domain. This increase is in line with the growing number of smart devices like tablets and smartphones in the market. Another reason for increasing number of mobility apps is the industry’s trend to invest in context-based or apps made for specific reasons.
For example, a few enterprises opt for knowledge-sharing apps to train the employees working at remote locations, whereas, some companies select marketing apps that categorically focus on promotional activities. In future, we can certainly expect that more process-specific mobility apps will come.
- Security Holds the Key to Success
When it comes to accessing the confidential business data, security concerns loom large on the enterprises. Perhaps this is the reason why the trend of focusing on security remains the same though mobility trends keep on changing over the years.
Growing incidents of data theft and security breaches, keep both entrepreneurs and mobile app developers on their toes. The solution to the concern of data security comes in the form of end-to-end mobile device management that includes the effective monitoring and management of mobile devices, apps, data, and network used in the enterprises to leverage mobility solutions.
Bonus Trends
AI is Arriving
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been integrated with the latest technologies and gains ground with the advent of machine learning. To leverage the benefits of full automation, it is necessary for the enterprises to implement AI in business operations. These days, every company wants to adopt AI to serve customers in a better way by improving processes. Voice-activated assistants like Siri and smart industry are the concepts that are driven by AI.
Cross-platform Apps will Prevail
For implementing the BYOD concept in the full swing, the enterprises need to get prepared for the devices with different OS. It is possible that some of the employees use Android phones while the other have iPhones. Therefore, companies must have developed the mobility apps that can run on both Android and iOS. Google has also initiated a push for cross-platform application development by introducing Flutter SDK.
It is safe to say that enterprise apps with customized features are ready to serve the global enterprises that are expanding at a fast pace. Though there are a number of challenges in the way of adopting mobility, the business owners can get the full rewards after implementing and use it effectively. It is, therefore, advisable for the companies to get robust and result-oriented enterprise mobility solutions with the latest trends to take their business to the next level.
