The market for enterprise mobility has grown over last few years and now enterprises are adapting mobility and realising the potential of tablet and smartphone apps for their businesses. This triggers the need for quickly developing apps for multiple platforms with easy maintainability for enterprises. The idea of cross platform mobile development in such a scenario made a lot of sense.
Mobility for Enterprises:
The current proliferation of mobile devices has made enterprises realise that sharing information via mobiles can be an effective and productive way for use within and outside their organizations. Today entrepreneurs and organizations are all making sure they finalize their mobility roadmaps as per the latest trends well in time. This is because the need was to develop enterprise driven mobile applications that are adaptable on various platforms so that people can use it when they are mobile- wherever they go and however they go.
While deciding a mobile strategy it is imperative to know about the audience of your mobile application. When the majority of your target audience is using the same mobility platform, then it becomes quite easy to choose the platform. But when your target audience involve users using iPhone, Android, Windows, Blackberry and other operating system phones and tablets, the decision gets complex and getting to a comforting conclusion becomes tricky. Also, it is important to know beforehand how much the inside-app animations, interactions and smoothness mean to you. If you need to use Native mobile hardware features like Camera, Light Sensor etc then it might be better to go with the Native mobile application development.
Benefits of Native App Development:
- Increased User Engagement
- Smoother User Experiences
- Easy Integration With Hardware Device Features
Benefits of Cross Platform App Development:
- Greater Reach To Potential Users
- Cost Effective Deal
- Uniformity
Verdict:
A system where you are looking to provide an app and the user device’s OS is unknown, the idea of cross platform application is the way to go. An example of this is the typical BYOD system. Most enterprise apps are built on this model- the target customers of your mobile app would be organization employees with undeclared set of devices! Decisions of the same are often based on the cost and maintainability factors and it does makes sense at times for enterprises to favour Cross Platform apps compared to Native for apps.
