Mobile Apps Rule in 2012 as Service Providers Enhance Offerings

K. Weldon

Summary Bullets:

• Recent announcements confirm our predictions that mobile apps for the enterprise will continue as a big theme this year.
• New offerings from IBM and AT&T focus on mobile application development and application delivery through enterprise app stores.

We predicted in our January 5^th blog entry (“Enterprise Mobility 2012: What Can Businesses Expect in the New Year?”) that the heated debates in 2011 about the best way to develop and manage applications and the rise of the enterprise app store would continue in earnest in 2012.  In early February, we are already seeing new products and services available from some of the leaders in the enterprise mobility ecosystem.
