Mobile-centric strategy: From hype to reality

Mobile applications have become pervasive. We have apps for shopping, banking, and fitness—even apps that remind us where we parked our cars. In a pirate voice.

Enterprise mobility has become mainstream, too. If your business is moving to a mobile-led strategy, there's a lot to consider. We've pulled together resources to help you navigate mobile app development for business, including a cost calculation guide, case studies, and insight into how the healthcare industry has taken the lead in mobile adoption (spoiler alert: it's all about using an open approach).

Taking care of business

What's the true cost of mobile apps?

When quantifying the cost of developing and maintaining a mobile app, the details matter. From planning and design to back-end integration and front-end services, you have to anticipate the components you'll need and the variables that might influence their cost.

There's no single way to calculate the price tag of mobile app development, but we know 2 things for sure: Doing nothing will cost you, and building apps tactically is more expensive.
