This document discusses the top 10 challenges in developing enterprise applications and provides tips to overcome each challenge. It introduces WisdmTREAD, a modular architecture and agile development technique that can help build quality applications more quickly. WisdmTREAD incorporates pre-made modules and an intelligently planned design to create scalable and modular applications that reduce time and costs compared to traditional development. Adopting frameworks like WisdmTREAD that use modular architectures can help developers overcome common challenges in enterprise application development.

1. Overcoming Top 10
Challenges in Enterprise
Application
Development
- Be aware of the challenges to get your
product right
- Explore about WisdmTREAD, a smart
technique that helps build quality
applications
- Pro Tips with each challenge to give
more perspective

2. Expectations from a Enterprise
Application (EA)
● Enterprise Applications are complex systems
● Enterprise Application should have seamless integration between
all subsystems despite of any changes
● It should be scalable, flexible, robust, easy-to-maintain, secure
and stable
● It should be capable in achieving the required goal i.e., high ROI

3. #1 Challenge - Changing Business
Requirements and Environments
● Technical transformations and Economic disruptions keep taking
place
● Meaning new requirements and workflows keep coming up
● Enterprise Application must be flexible to adopt these changes
● Modular Architecture greatly helps as it uses handy read-to-use
blocks of code
● Changes can be implemented without affecting other
requirements
PRO TIP

4. #2 Shifting to the mobile platform
● Global market for enterprise mobility projected to reach US$218
billion this year
● Mobility directly increases productivity as it fastens information
sharing
● Employees enjoy mobility
● Make sure mobile application isn’t heavy and has a user-friendly
interface
● Requirement of mobility will reach your business, if not already
PRO TIP

5. #3 Security
● Security is about controlling user access and protecting
resources of application
● Having encryptions and firewalls at application, host and network
level
● Make sure privacy of user information is protected
● Web and mobile application more prone to cyber attacks
● Conduct Application Vulnerability Tests regularly to check
security of website, server and back-end services
PRO TIP

6. #4 Big Data
● Total Data will increase to 44 zettabytes in 2020 from 4.4
zettabytes (2018)
● Big Data increases storage costs, data centre costs, network costs,
etc. and slows response rate for end-user
● Correctly locate and rationalise company’s data and narrow down
sources of data
● Once data is centralised, conduct Big Data projects
● Move inactive data to platforms like Hadoop to save bigPRO TIP

7. #5 Changing Technology
● Enterprise Application should be ‘future-proof’
● Enterprise Application can greatly benefit from AI
● 15% of Enterprises use AI today and 31% will be using in next 12
months
● Modular Architecture helps in adopting new technology
● Keep eye on latest trends
● IoT and micro-services are trending topics for Enterprise
Application
PRO TIP

8. #6 Interoperability
● Systems must be well-linked in Enterprise Application
● Smart links between systems that use same data
● Interoperability standards should be followed
● Use and follow an Enterprise Interoperability Framework
● Common interoperability frameworks are European
Interoperability Framework, ATHENA Interoperability Framework,
etc
PRO TIP

9. #7 User Interface
● Good user interface increases employee productivity and
employee satisfaction
● Application must be fast and comfortable to use
● Better engagement of employees directly increase value to
company
● Default setting and automatic form-filling makes Enterprise
Application fast and friendly
PRO TIP

10. #8 Low Return-On-Investment (ROI)
● Enterprise Application Development and maintenance is costly
● Bad results can be frustrating
● Be clear on objective of Enterprise Application
● Goal can be to improve sales, increase employee productivity or
optimise internal processes
● Set relevant KPIs (Key Performance Indicators) with respect to
goal
● Conduct regular measurements and comparisons
PRO TIP

11. #9 Time and Cost
● Enterpise Application Development normally takes 5-6 months
● Modular Architecure is the solution to long development time
● It can cut short time to one-third
● Use a regulatory framework like WisdmTREAD based on Modular
Architecture
● WisdmTREAD helps save time and money
PRO TIP

12. #10 Maintainability
● Maintainability means correctly operating products and detecting
and correcting faults
● Maintainability should be a fast process
● Modular Architecture helps speed up maintenance tasks
● This is because it requires changes to be made in a particular
module
● Modular Architecture can thus save time and money in
maintainability
PRO TIP

13. A smart practice to overcome
challenges is…
● Using frameworks that use intelligently planned architecture
● Design should be modular and scalable
● WisdmTread incorporates these qualities
● Using WisdmTREAD can help create quality Enterprise
Application quickly
Let’s Understand How….
