January 19, 2021

Overview

Companies today require efficient, agile and integrated business applications to ensure their operations run better than ever. The majority of progressive organizations are delivering a wide mix of complex applications to appeal to both the end user, employee, and customer.

With so many complex applications to manage, IT organization often refer to a range of challenges including executing the various ecosystems and integrated platforms, software, and technologies efficiently to serve the needs of an organization.

 

4 Common Challenges in Application Development

Changing Requirements and Environments

Sudden changes in the business landscape are to be expected. Technological disruptions can rarely be fully planned for. However, ensuring a scalable and flexible application architecture is in place is more critical now than ever.

Explosive Growth of Big Data

May the data be with you! Yes, data will always be with us and the amount of data that exists is growing at a tremendous pace. The challenge is to manage this data intelligently by curating, organizing, and centralizing big data projects and ensuring it is turned into insightful, useful and actionable information.

Interdependency of Systems

Systems in any organization must be linked carefully in order to work together. For instance, payroll and time off systems must be consistently receiving the same information. Sales, marketing, and customer management systems must also receive the same information to operate well and effortlessly.

Minutes and Money

Application development is a time-consuming process. If not clear from the outset, it can also cost a considerable amount of money. An application that is designed and customized to fit the needs of the organization and properly linked to other systems will cut time and money by at least one-third.

Questions to Ask When Considering an Application Development Provider

1) Does this provider support the right platforms?

It is important to know what type of integrations and technological support is offered before making a decision.

 

 

 

2) Does this provider offer automatic or manual database syncing?

Understanding this can help you to decide how much storage will be needed to access, store, and transmit data correctly.

 

3) Does this provider offer top-notch security for my application?

Security is of paramount concern these days. Even for the best companies, breaches still happen. Things such as authentication and read/write access should be top of mind.

 

4) Does this provider offer an agile and adaptable model?

Flexibility will help to dictate whether your model operates in an efficient manner. Additionally, when it comes to improvements and tweaks, agility will determine how far you can go.

 

5) Does this provider ensure data conflict management?

Conflict management will differ for almost every system. If the same data can be modified on multiple devices, it will create a conflict. That’s why understanding the resolution mechanism is so important.
When choosing an application development provider, take into account the above critical to help you build a secure, flexible and manageable business application that works seamlessly.
