Mobility has changed the way we have been living and doing our businesses. Our shopping, entertainment, travel, bank, decision-making, and the search of information and interactions with friends, family members, and customers or employees—the mobility is transforming everything. Today, we are living in a world, which in 1990 had 500 million telephone lines and, which will soon have more active cell-phones than people. We also have various other mobile-platform based and IoT-connected devices, gadgets, and apps. Today, we use and access all sorts of smart mobility; regardless of time and place.
The IoT-based automation for buildings has now gone beyond optimizations. The modern IoT technology has the capacity to bring a system together and add high worth, through continuous innovations, such as demand control and improving air quality.
Building management systems (BMS) or building automation systems (BAS) instantly became popular when they were introduced for the first time. The computer-based system to control several things could automatically monitor and manage a building’s largest and costliest operational components and helped the facility managers do better jobs. These systems certainly saved huge time and money, reduced energy waste, and gave a better way to facilities managers to monitor their operations. Today, we have another technology for a variety of automations, including the automation in buildings. The technology is called Internet of Things (IoT).
The mobile app development and the marketing of an app weren’t complicated tasks a couple of years back. Things were not as competitive as they are today. Developers did not need to focus heavily on the design of their apps; even mediocre UI and fewer reviews were enough to get mass’ approval for an app.
But that trend has changed now! When estimated, both app stores, the Google Play for Android and the App Store for iOS devices, would combinedly have more than 5.5 million mobile apps. A new app put in these stores can easily get lost, particularly if there is no out of the box plan followed during the development.
Smartphones are now more popular than PCs. Today, everyone you know already has a smartphone. People use these smartphones in a variety of personal and professional computing operations. This trend took place merely in the period of a decade. We would see coming decades more expressive for the smartphone mobility.
Other technologies like IoT, which was earlier not getting the desired acceptance among people because of not having the portable means of being controlled, has now ways to grow in different industries, such as electronics goods manufacturers. As of the latest estimation by IBM, the market of the Internet of Things will reach 500 million USD by 2020. A big share to this growth would doubtlessly be added by the consumer electronic industry.
In simple words, CRM is a popular form of software widely used by businesses to manage the relationship with their customers and clients. ERP is different. CRM can be just a part of an ERP, while the ERP is a unified program, which can be used by an organization, from managing business processes to maintaining stocks in a store, to handling the hiring process, to administrating the service-delivery, to processing salaries. With ERP, an organization is able to put all its emphasis on the enterprise resource planning as well as increasing the overall business efficiency, effectiveness, and economy of the enterprise.
Every business needs to stay competitive and, so is the case with businesses engaged in manufacturing, which have no choice but to face a lot of challenges. Falling to deal with these challenges may turn a manufacturing business irrelevant in the market. Businesses in the manufacturing industry have to continuously produce more value out of limited time, resources, skills, and investment. This is the only way to succeed; however, it’s not easy to attain this state; particularly for those businesses have which less involve the technology in manufacturing operations.
The visible growth of the technology of Augmented Reality in recent years can easily be attributed to those apps that let people virtually interact with products and imagine what it might feel like to own a product or experience a service before they actually buy it. The AR technology available today has become more sophisticated and cost saving with their increasing use in business applications. It is also increasing the demand and investment in AR based technology. Tech titans are also contributing a lot in promoting AR technology. In 2017, Google launched ARCore for Android, and Apple released ARKit. They both are powerful tools for developers creating AR apps. As of the latest predictions, we will have close to a billion AR technology users by 2020; however, we already have lots of successful and real-world examples of the AR technology across different industries.
Top mobile app developers across the world have already recognized apps to be the easiest way to forward the technologies of augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) to the end customers. Mobile-app based AR and VR solutions can easily be accessed just in smartphones. No High-tech head mount is required. No fancy visual gadget is needed. A smartphone plus an app is enough to deliver the experience of AR or VR.
Businesses too are taking AR and VR technologies quite seriously. They have plans to use them both as essential components for different businesses processes, such as to boost the education of employees. Businesses are also seeing the positive impact of AR and VR in forms of improvements in several business projects.
Android has already captured a huge market share and continued to run in an average of 85 percent of smart devices over the world, according to IDC. Many businesses already aware of this trend and, thus they are adopting the custom Android app development approach to enter the smart mobility segment.
Android, as an open source smart mobile platform, is capable of delivering desired quantifiability, agility, and performance. Businesses relying on Android for their mobile app implementations will certainly expose them to a number of benefits. Only Android has been successful to deliver these benefits so far. Some of these benefits are as follows:
Many mobile app development companies take the required security measures only when their apps are ready to be published in the market. As seen, they take security as the last thing to do in an app; however, they are wrong. Actually, the security should be primarily considered in a mobile app development project.
Smartphones are vulnerable. We have seen many instances of data breaches and the stealing of personal information. These devices are prone to a number of online threats and cybercrimes. Today’s smartphones are the first choice of hackers who are always in search of new preys to compromise their sensitive information. That’s why it’s recommended that developers should concentrate on the security aspects right from the beginning of a mobile app development project.
No matter what your business size is, but you have already discovered the worth of investing in mobility. Some of you have already introduced apps to your business, either as native or web, but many of you are still in doubt whether it’s the right to take this step or not.
But it’s not easy to launch mobile app development. It’s why because there are certain things that should go right to make an app successful. And if they don’t, even the best app idea would fail.
The mobile app ecosystem is proving to be quite promising. Its significance cannot be disregarded at all. Today, either you, as a user, are a businessman, employee, or a customer, you have a variety of things to do with the smart mobility. Undoubtedly, apps have made computing simple.
But apps, on the other hand, are hitting app stores at such a rapid pace as many developers are clueless about wrong and right approaches to the mobile app development. They try everything falling in their way and, this is where they are lacking.
To generate more revenue, businesses need to keep targeting more customers. And the most trending way to this is to get an app developed. Mobile application development for a business’ selling / buying-processes or enterprise operations isn’t much complex these days. You simply hire a developer, explain your idea, detail your requirements and, your app is ready. But, if you lack even at a single place; from conceiving an idea to implementation of the end-product, the cost of development will become pretty much high. If the development of your app doesn’t match with the standard development process, the cost will cross the set budget-limits. And it will happen whether you outsource your project or get it done by own in-house development team.
Mobility is turning out to be a bit larger with every passing day. The same applied to app stores and the mobile app development market. Smart mobility is expanding its reach by touching almost all aspects of the human-life. Since smart mobility has become the key technology trend, we have been hearing the saying “there’s an app for everything”. Now it’s not wrong at any point.
Now, many businesses depend on mobile technology, smartphones, and apps. The technology has certainly made an impeccable space in the ‘to-do-lists’ of many businesses around the world. In fact, users too have developed a dependency over mobility. Will it change? No, it won’t because mobility is evolving, getting its place in newer devices which we can wear and even use together with eyeglasses. Also, we have many gadgets and appliances which can be accessed and controlled with smartphones and applications.
With more than 2.6 million Android apps, Google Play is the richest app-store in the word of mobile. But these numbers may mean differently for different people. For example, Android app developers, when persuaded by these numbers, may want to launch an Android app project and hope for success. On the other hand, these numbers may put off some developers because app stores are becoming more competitive with each passing. Now there is less chance of getting recognition.
In either case, the growing numbers of apps in Google Play store are making it hard for app owners and Android app developers to get their apps noticed to the users. The Google Play store is now like a big ocean but, experts can still make strategies to dive into it successfully.
