The Most Challenging Product Development – Mobile Application Development
We live in an age where technology changes the way we perceive the world everyday! Almost everyone owns a mobile phone and we use these not only to communicate but also for a variety of other tasks such as browsing the internet and so on. The business and marketing opportunities open because of the widespread use of the mobile phone are also numerous and growing by the day. Little wonder then that the growth of the mobile application development sector within the software industry has been phenomenal in the last few years. This sector has created the maximum jobs and revenues in the industry, contributing to 60% of the total number of jobs and the total revenue of the industry, according to a 2013 analysis report.
When it comes to this particular kind of software product development, there are many challenges that need to be overcome. These can be used not only on mobile phones but also in all kinds of low powered hand-held devices like personal digital assistants and enterprise digital assistants. Because of the wide variety of devices they are used for, various considerations like many different screen sizes, hardware specifications and configurations must be considered. There is intense competition in this field and this increases the level of the challenges that must be overcome too! These can either be pre-installed in the device during manufacture or they can be downloaded onto the device using mobile software distribution platforms. Many changes also take place within these distribution platforms, thus increasing the challenges faced by the developers of these applications.
Any software vending company, be it a large multinational multimillion dollar corporation or a small start up firm, faces the same challenges – continuous innovation and catering to the continuously changing needs of the market. One of the most important considerations in this field that should be prioritized by all enterprises is reducing the time to market. The product must reach the market at the right time because of the high levels of competition present in the software development industry. Given the rate at which customer requirements change, time is of absolute essence and any delay can make even a newly developed product null and void in the market. This is why it is essential for such companies to partner with capable technology partners for product development tasks and keep the focus on their core strengths such as innovation and customer acquisitions.
When it comes to mobile application development, there are numerous platforms in which these will be used and each of these platforms also provides an integrated development environment. These environments provide tools to allow the developers to write and test and ultimately deploy the application onto the target platform environment. Most applications are targeted at multiple mobile platforms and this increases the challenges faced by the developers. The best option available to ISVs (Independent Software Vendors) is to partner with the right technology consultants who will function as an extended technical arm for the company and remain focused on core strengths. Choose the right technology partner and enjoy the best benefits of this growing sector!
