DESCRIPTION
The rapid proliferation of mobile devices and apps are radically transforming our expectations and how we interact with and use technology. Before CIOs and IT directors tune this out as just another “consumer” trend, it’s important to note that we are all consumers, and this new mindset is permeating the enterprise, forever shaping what business users expect from business apps.

Think about your own
experience as a
consumer…
Is there a single app on your phone that manages your entire life?

Enterprise Implication:
Rather than a single monolithic software suite, business users today expect multiple lightweight apps focused on specific business processes or needs.
Do you spend weeks in training or hours reading documentation before using an app?
No. Consumer apps are so intuitive you can use them immediately. Just press play.
Enterprise Implication:
Business users have experienced what it’s like to use simple, intuitive, and beautiful apps. Clunky software with a long learning curve simply won’t be adopted.
Are you willing to wait months or years for awesome new features?
No. Consumer app developers issue new releases constantly—often weekly.
Enterprise Implication:
Business users today won’t tolerate long app development cycles. Nor will they wait weeks for simple change requests.
