Mobile apps are becoming the primary way that users across all demographics access and activate content, services, commerce, and critical business applications. This turns up the pressure on organizations to anchor business applications on mobile platforms.

It’s clear that enterprises no longer consider mobility the last step toward implementing a business application. Instead, they see it as the first and most crucial step for developing and deploying a comprehensive and effective strategy to empower users and engage customers. Against this backdrop, mobile apps are becoming the business tool that will reimagine the customer experience as well as supercharge sales and service channels.
