It cannot be emphasized enough how important enterprise mobile apps are to every business of every size but it can sometimes be hard to convince the puller of the purse strings to see the same light. Executives are notoriously and irrationally stingy when it comes to investing in technology and it makes us want to pull our hair out. Why wouldn\u2019t they want to invest in something that will create more productive employees, a secure mobile experience and save them money in the long run?<\/p>\n

Because of executive\u2019s inability to pull the trigger on newer technology, it\u2019s necessary for you to build a very convincing case on why you need an enterprise app and why it\u2019s a good investment to make. A good point to start off with is a solid statistic: More than 75 percent of organizations surveyed plan to build 10 or more mobile apps this year, according to research conducted my Apperian<\/a>. \u00a0It also wouldn\u2019t hurt to remind them that this includes potential competitors that will become much more efficient and organized than you, forcing you to keep up or be left in the dust.<\/p>\n

<\/h5>\n
\t\t\t

<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><\/div>\n

If you\u2019re maybe looking to be a little less blunt, here are a few things you will want to include in your business case for enterprise app development:<\/p>\n

Present the ROI of the enterprise apps \u2013 Like I said before, executives care first and foremost about money. Not that this is a bad thing, but it sometimes gets in the way of productivity especially when there\u2019s an investment to be made. \u00a0How much is it going to cost and how will the investment impact the company\u2019s top and\/or bottom lines?\u00a0If your company is in sales for example, you need to clearly present how this app will increase productivity of sales people, creating more sales and ultimately leading to more revenue. If your app isn\u2019t intended to directly increase revenue, it\u2019s very important that you emphasize the productivity of your app.<\/p>\n

Make sure you keep the tech lingo to a minimum- If you lose them in the presentation because they don\u2019t know what you\u2019re talking about, chances are your app dreams will be dead in the water. People who aren\u2019t in IT have a hard time using context clues to figure out what you\u2019re talking about than with almost any other subject because they can\u2019t visualize what you\u2019re talking about. Most people don\u2019t know how to understand something if they can\u2019t visualize it, and with tech in particular, people either don\u2019t know what things look like, or things are virtual so they have no reference point and are easily lost.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t forget about security- Last and certainly not least, you need to emphasize that these apps aren\u2019t like normal apps. They will have security measures in place that will keep corporate data safe and provide options like app wrapping and usage policies. Employees won\u2019t be able to easily exploit your data and it gives you significant advantage over shadow IT.<\/p>\n

Even though it may take a lot of convincing, it\u2019s important that executives understand the importance of enterprise mobile apps and the role they can play in taking your business to the next level.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
