We at RITS work out utilising a lightweight and low cost approach to mobile development for our clients. Mobile application development is absolutely different from typical desktop or browser based applications. We would like to point out few important reasons why you need to switch to a native mobile application if you have a large base of customers.
- A mobile application gives you ability to be connected and target your users any time.
- A native mobile app gives a great user experience(UX).
- The mobile users are not bound to go to computer to use a feature of an app so your app gives your flexibility.
Trusted mobile app developers like RITS will work with you and your team figure out the best way to mitigate these issues, including if a mobile app is the correct choice for your organization.
In many scenarios, it is likely that existing infrastructure (databases, web services, and content storage) can be reused when building a mobile application. We have built several mobile applications that leveraged existing code or web services from legacy projects, or integrated directly with databases from other LOB software products. Our process includes reviewing and investigating what can be used as is and what needs to be re-built. We have also reviewed and augmented mobile solutions created by other mobile app development companies.
Custom software developers offer a couple of alternatives to a pure mobile development using the native iOS or Android technology stack. Web applications can be made to be “mobile-friendly” meaning the web app will scale/shrink based on the size of the mobile device or tablet. This a great stepping stone for many organizations that have a modern web application to move into the world of mobile applications development.
A second option is to build a “cross-platform” application – or “build once deploy anywhere” app. This allows mobile apps development to be done with a single technology stack, but the finished product can be deployed to iOS, Android, and possibly Windows Mobile. Many companies prefer this approach to save on money and efforts. However the UX is not good as it is with native mobile platform applications.
