Multi-Platfrom App Toolkit Vendor, 5app, Provides Guidance for CTOs Looking to Reduce Costs for the Rapid Development of Enterprise Apps
LONDON, November 5, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
5app - http://www.fiveapp.com - the app toolkit vendor, has today released expert
guidance for CTOs looking to commission a mobile enterprise app
[http://www.fiveapp.com/business/enterprise-app ] for their business, but who struggle to
understand the extortionate price tags often associated with the development process.
Organisations are increasingly looking at cost-effective ways in which to interact with a
mobile workforce and 5app advises CTOs to be vigilant when deciding how to go about the
rapid development [http://www.fiveapp.com/business/rapid-development ] of multi-platform
apps [http://www.fiveapp.com/business/multi-platform-app ] or risk facing large
development fees.
Dr Tim King, Chief Technology Officer at 5app, explains, "Whilst there are no hard and
fast rules when it comes to developing an enterprise app, there are four key areas that
impact directly on the cost of developing a robust and reliable multi-platform app. By
being made aware of potential cost-saving processes, CTOs can avoid unnecessary
expenditure, especially when it comes to deploying across multiple mobile platforms and
operating systems."
For CTOs looking to exploit the enterprise app development market and invest in the
rapid development of an app, four key areas to carefully consider are:
1) Determine your target devices right at the start, covering both OS and
screen resolutions. Don't start on iPhone and then work round to the others as costs
can double or triple.
2) Consider a single source in HTML, CSS and Javascript and use a framework that
supports this.
3) Consider the communication requirements. For example. Ajax doesn't work well
with mobile data connections because they are unreliable.
4) Ensure that your chosen framework provides high-quality debugging to get the
job done faster.
