2Mobile Apps Keep Arriving
3Typical Response–Secure, Protect, Lock Down
4Design for User Experience
5Layered Security Approach
The modern, mobile enterprise must be nimble and responsive, but also secure and trustworthy. Often security means lock down. Instead, the enterprise should evaluate their risks and adopt a layered approach to enterprise security that allows for flexibility and responsiveness to the pressure to innovate.
6Handling App Updates and Change
Mobile often means releasing fast and releasing often. Sometimes organizations compromise on releasing changes because they don’t have the tools and process to support it and guarantee quality. They need to rethink agile and DevOps to enable rapid, responsive app creation and delivery. Embracing change and rapid, small releases, lowers risk and delivers value faster.
7Maintain High Quality
In the rush to get the app out of the door to remain competitive, the fundamentals of quality apps are compromised. Seeing to it that the app functions, performs and is secure will ensure that your mobile apps enhance your brand versus undermining it. After all, 50 percent of users will delete an app if they encounter a bug or issue.
8Embrace Your Users
9Future-Proof Your Strategy
The one thing that is certain about mobility is that it accelerates change. The landscape will be different tomorrow. Enterprises must plan for and embrace a future where the pace of change continues to accelerate. That means new platforms, devices and form factors—not to mention faster release cycles and more competitive pressure.
