The app toolkit vendor 5app has released expert guidance for executives looking to commission a mobile enterprise app for their business, identifying seven pitfalls to avoid during this process.
5app's Chief Technology Officer, Dr. Tim King, explains, "To the uninitiated, the process of creating a mobile business app looks pretty simple. However, there are several pitfalls that executives need to be aware of. By being made aware of these pitfalls, executives can avoid them when their organization begins to devlop a mobile enterprise app."
They are:
1. Remember that a mobile device is not always connected
2. Are you really in the entertainment business?
3. The diversity of operating systems can pose problems
4. Focus on function, not looks
5. Don't lose control of your content
6. The future is closer than you think
7. Don't forget the end user
5app is also providing an e-book, available for download, to anyone who wants to find out more about these seven pitfalls. They also have a mobile app toolkit, the 5app Factory, to develop and test apps.
