Productivity, Field Access, and Data Analytics
Enterprise apps are typically defined as inwardly facing mobile apps designed solely for use by your employees. Apps designed to interface with your customers or the public are valuable additions, but their merits will not be addressed in this post. This article will be focused on the key benefits your business can gain from enterprise apps and why now is a great time to have them built.
- The development of enterprise apps have never been easier. The large-scale adoption of consumer apps has led to technological advances that make it faster and easier for developers to create mobile apps, whether the client needs an internal or external app. New programming languages and tools for cross-platform development help developers deliver apps in less time and at lower prices.
- Any business that wants to stay ahead of the curve must embrace mobile technology. The results of repeated studies have shown that mobility increases productivity for individual employees as well as the business as a whole. Businesses typically report lower operating costs, increased sales and reduced inventory levels after an enterprise mobilization effort.
- Enterprise apps give personnel in the field immediate access to critical information. For example, service technicians can access troubleshooting manuals or schematics, while sales reps can gain valuable insights on a customer or industry immediately before an appointment. In addition, field personnel can feed information back to the office in a timely manner, reducing delays in invoicing or order processing.
- Enterprise apps help you leverage big data and analytics to keep your business ahead of the competition. Businesses are collecting more data than ever before, but less than one percent of it has ever been analyzed. Marketers have a virtual gold mine residing in their systems. New technology has made it possible to create apps for predictive analytics as well as apps that make extracting meaningful business intelligence easier.
The use of enterprise apps has seen dramatic increases over the last two years, and use is expected to continue to increase. Furthermore, it is not just large corporations who deploying them; small businesses have realized the potential benefits as well.
Enterprise apps make sense for any business that wants to improve productivity, empower employees in the field and combine analytics with big data to fuel growth and profitability.
