Connect With Your Mobile Workforce Using an Enterprise App Development Toolkit Which Guarantees Mobile Data Security

PR Newswire LONDON, December 10, 2012

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 theirmobile 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 anenterprise appthat actually deliversmobile data securityand 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 commun ication as standard. After all, reliable communication and mobile data security is the key to mobilising the enterprise.
