Enterprises Are Moving to Custom Mobile Apps To Meet Their Needs

Richard Rabins
A recent editorial in Fierce Mobile IT cites interesting statistics about the growing demand for custom business applications for mobile.

The article is based on survey of 500 IT managers  and states:

 "According to a survey of 500 IT professionals by Citrix's Zenprise, 81 percent of organizations expect to deploy custom apps in next 12 months, 40 percent will use a third party to develop apps on their behalf, and 41 percent will develop custom apps themselves."


The significance of  this article for developers of business applications is simple:



If you want to be sure you are valuable to your company - get proficient in mobile application development.


In the same vein, independent developers who commit to becoming mobile proficient in terms of building business applications, will be kept as busy as they like! There will be no shortage of development projects!
