Mobile Apps Strategies for Your E-Business Suite

Many a times, a brilliant mobile app completely loses its worth because of clueless path knowing not where to start and how to take it forward. No matter hiring an internal team or finding a mobile development company, sticking to a thorough strategy for mobile apps for the E-Business Suite can change the mobile space, itself.

Here is a mobile app strategy to release standalone apps for specific product modules.

Platform Specific


Having worked on web, mobile brings with it an additional complexity to develop for multiple platforms, each with their own native capabilities. For those starters, iPhone app has become the "must have" entry point for mobile applications but then depending on how you want to engage your customer.
Retailers may decide to expand to Android phones in order to engage the largest number of customers before and after they transact.

Mobile Approvals for All OS

Whilst the major objective is to support small as well as large screens versions, you need to possibly deliver these as universal apps. Say for instance, Oracle’s Mobile Field Service app allows field service technicians to remotely access all information related to customer, product, service request, while providing a richer experience for tablets.


Globalizing the Apps

Despite the fact that the initial release of mobile apps should necessarily be in English, do include translations for all left-to-right languages supported by the E-Business Suite. Besides, the most obvious problem at recent times is the cross-platform development. And, there are must do three things to solve this problem:

* Deliver the best user experience regardless the platform.

* Deploy mobile applications across multiple operating systems and devices, including the mobile web.

* Leverage investment in web development so that you don’t want to sacrifice quality to make some cookie-cutter app.

Guess, you get it. Consider the development team, releases, and time required for your project.
