Connect With Your Mobile Workforce Using an Enterprise App Development Toolkit Which Guarantees Mobile Data Security
LONDON, December 10, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
5app, http://www.fiveapp.com the mobile app toolkit vendor, has released expert
guidance for IT decision makers looking to connect with their mobile workforce
[http://www.fiveapp.com/business/designed-for-enterprise/mobile-workforce ]. There is no
escaping the impact of BYOD on IT departments, resulting in IT decision makers
investigating cost-effective ways in which to interact with mobile employees. 5app's CTO,
Dr Tim King, advises that it is a necessity to understand the limitations of mobile
technologies, especially the communications infrastructure, in order to develop an
enterprise app [http://www.fiveapp.com/business/enterprise-app ] that actually delivers
mobile data security [http://www.fiveapp.com/business/secure/mobile-data-security ] and
real business value.
Dr Tim King, Chief Technology Officer at 5app, explains, "When considering
commissioning or developing a mobile app, you need to look over and beyond the normal
design issues. Firstly, consider what devices you need to support from the start. If you
are going to need cross-platform, think about it early - don't start with one device type
and then consider moving to other platforms if the first is a success as this doubles,
triples or even quadruples your costs."

For CTOs looking to connect with their mobile workforce, exploit the enterprise app
development market and benefit from reliable communication with a mobile workforce, it is
vital to consider the following:
1) Apps increasingly have to run on a multitude of platforms ranging from
Blackberry and iPhone to Android and Windows 8.
2) The mobile experience needs to mirror the quality of corporate solutions -
with good performance, reliability and availability.
3) Getting it wrong can be an expensive mistake: if an app is commissioned and
written using the wrong technique you may end with an app that will not communicate
reliably, and have to start all over again.
4) Take care when choosing your framework as not all provide features such as
push data that you'll need for most of your line-of-business processes.
5) Choose a framework that supports reliable communication as standard. After
all, reliable communication and mobile data security is the key to mobilising the
enterprise.
