Step-by-Step Approach To Enable Enterprise Mobility for Your Organization

An Expert to Advice You Which Technology Options to Choose?

You will need to understand which solution is good for your organization - native application development or/and cross platform development.

Parameter Cross-Mobile Platform

Fully Native Comments

Cost of Development

► Cross-mobile platforms (e.g. PhoneGap) will reduce the development costs, as the application can be built for multiple platforms

Multi-Platform Compatibility

► Cross-mobile platforms (e.g PhoneGap and RhoMobile)

support multiple platforms

Usability

► Native provide best user experience. Mobile Apps developed using cross-mobile platforms may not give the best experience on all phones, and may provide web-app look and feel in some cases. Scrolling and touch response are slower in apps built using cross-mobile platforms

Summary and Recommendation:

• If the requirement is to build predominantly for iPhone and Android, there may not be cost benefit using a cross mobile-platform. If the requirement is to build for all platforms including BlackBerry and Windows Mobile, Cross-platform development can provide cost benefits, albeit at the expense of usability.

• If the requirement is to build iPhone and Android apps providing best user experience, taking the native apps route will be best for your organization.
