5 Most Promising Mobile Application Vendors - 2014

Mobile application development market is growing at a rapid pace under the influence of advancement of network technologies, restructuring of revenue-sharing pattern, lowering of mobile data usage cost, growing adoption of smartphones, and increase in application usability. In addition, the mobile application advertising opportunity has allowed publishers to partly or fully subsidize applications, and further expedite the adoption of mobile applications. With growing mobility requirements, companies today require a large number of mobile apps going forward.

However, the surge in the number of applications has increased the risk of data theft through delivery of phishing and spyware in applications. The lack of meaningful business applications and specialized mobile applications for specific industries has restricted the growth of mobile application development. As the number of vendors in the mobile application development (AD) market grows, differentiating is becoming increasingly difficult. There is a need to select vendors that align their solution to an organization’s mobile strategy in the best way. Enterprises also need to standardize viable vendors over the next several years to contain costs and complexity. To learn mobile best practices and avoid pitfalls with initial applications, organizations can look at using co-development practices with the selected vendor. In the end, weight must be given to automation, management and deployment tools and the cross-device, cross-packaging provided by the mobile application vendors.
