In the current move to remote work environments, the need for apps that work on a range of desktops, laptops, tablets and smartphones will only increase. Mobility will no longer be a new initiative or project, but a daily routine across the business, as employees, contractors, partners and customers demand dependable mobile solutions for their daily business interactions and workflows.
