Companies invest in mobile apps

A recent study by Red Hat has shown that 90% of respondents want to invest in developing mobile apps in the coming year. The results also show that these same respondents predict their organization’s investment for mobile application development increasing at an average growth rate of 24 percent during the same period.
The transformative power of mobile is important as organizations mature. One-third (35 percent) of respondents say mobile apps change the way they do business by reinventing business processes and an additional 37 percent say apps are primarily used to automate existing processes. Still, 24 percent of respondents are mobilizing existing web applications, showing potential for further maturity in their approaches.
