Enterprise Mobile Applications Offer Technology Giants New Opportunity

Posted: April 1, 2010  | John Fildes

We have seen an explosion in the world of consumer applications on smart phone devices. Now a new trend emerges in the next generation of mobile applications – applications for enterprise businesses.

As software developers continue to concept and release business applications a new group of players will soon emerge as leaders of the business application revolution. Most likely to lead the pack will be the enterprise technology leaders – including IBM and Microsoft.

Already rich in the resources required to plan, develop, deploy, and manage enterprise systems it is a logical next step for the technology giants. Throw in the need for enterprise level security and long-term vision that is agile enough to adapt to the client’s ever changing business requirements and no other class of business is positioned as well to deliver on client’s demands for enterprise grade mobile business applications.

The real question becomes how do telecommunications companies transform their business strategies, mobile devices, and operating platforms to take full advantage of this growing opportunity. After all, businesses will be looking for solutions that offer the most flexibility – cross platform, cross operating system, and ability to run multiple applications at a time – and few companies are currently addressing enterprise client’s expectations.
