PR Newswire LONDON, November 5, 2012

LONDON,November 5, 2012/PRNewswire/ --

5app-http://www.fiveapp.com/- the app toolkit vendor, has today released expert guidance for CTOs looking to commission a mobileenterprise appfor their business, but who struggle to understand the extortionate price tags often associated with the development process. Organisations are increasingly looking at cost-effective ways in which to interact with a mobile workforce and 5app advises CTOs to be vigilant when deciding how to go about the rapid developmentofmulti-platform appsor risk facing large development fees.

Dr Tim King, Chief Technology Officer at 5app,explains, "Whilst there are no hard and fast rules when it comes to developing an enterprise app, there are four key areas that impact directly on the cost of developing a robust and reliable multi-platform app. By being made aware of potential cost-saving processes, CTOs can avoid unnecessary expenditure, especially when it comes to deploying across multiple mobile platforms and operating systems."

For CTOs looking to exploit the enterprise app development market and invest in the rapid development of an app, four key areas to carefully consider are:

1. Determine your target devices right at the start, covering both OS and screen resolutions. Don't start on iPhone and then work round to the others as costs can double or triple. 2. Consider a single source in HTML, CSS and Javasc ript and use a framework that supports this. 3. Consider the communication requirements. For exa mple. Ajax doesn't work well with mobile data connections because they are unreliable. 4. Ensure that your chosen framework provides high-quality debugging to get the job done faster.
