Challenges In Mobility And Cloud

Although a majority of enterprises are focused on expanding initiatives with mobility and cloud, there are also many complications. The survey results about the biggest challenges with mobile strategies and cloud computing are in this infographic.

“There are several challenges in terms of mobility strategies,” said Edwin Yuen, senior analyst with Enterprise Strategy Group. “The first is application development, where traditional desktop/web applications are increasingly being updated. Enterprises need to ensure that their mobile application development stays in synchronization, and making sure that the UX stays consistent. Decisions will also need to be made in terms of balancing mobile specific applications and the push for adaptive web applications for mobile. All this is impacted by the continued adoption of CI/CD for application development and ensuring that mobile applications are part of that rapid development process.”
