FAQ: Mobile Applications
As a leader in developing, deploying and managing mobile applications for the enterprise, Syclo is often tasked with helping our customers to walk the path between simply knowing that they want to mobilize a key business process and having a clear understanding of the application requirements, technical challenges and economics involved. Few companies today have internal groups dedicated to mobility initiatives, and many companies’ experience with mobile applications is limited to plug‐and‐play e‐mail and wireless data solutions. The purpose of this brief FAQ whitepaper is not to provide comprehensive answers but rather to get you asking the right questions about mobile applications, frameworks and vendors. Doing so will help you build the business case for mobile and to think more strategically about your long‐term technology prospects.
Questions discussed include:
-
Should I build a mobile application in-house?
-
What are the common programming languages for mobile? Does it matter which one is used?
-
Should I turn to my enterprise system vendor for help?
-
What application architecture should I choose?
-
Are there any real benefits of selecting the same vendor for multiple applications?
-
Should I select the application first or the device first?
