Develop Low Cost Business Apps

The year 2015 was a great year for mobile app development as it saw massive market growth and adoption rates. The smartphone app boom has resulted in an enormous opportunity for businesses to develop their own apps and stay connected to their customers at all times, while benefiting from increased ROI.

Building a mobile business app was an expensive affair in the past but not anymore. Small and medium-sized companies can develop business apps at a very low cost.

The smartphone shipments are increasing at a very rapid rate and it is important for businesses to capture this market by developing apps on different platforms.

5 Ways to Develop Low Cost Business Apps

Most app development companies these days are startups which provide app development services at a very low cost. So how do they manage to cut costs and provide services at such reasonable prices? Here are some of the methods which have been proven to save both time and money, and can help in affordable business application development -

  1. Cloud Based Apps - This new technology is being adopted by most businesses in order to avoid large data center costs. Since app development and testing are done on the cloud, major investments in data center hardware and softwares can be easily avoided. The app development team is also able to access the cloud from anywhere, thereby ensuring better productivity
  2. Scrum - This framework is part of the agile application development methodology that aids joint development of business apps, amongst other things. It helps in smooth movement of the project development process as the development team works as one unit to develop the app ensuring that it meets all business requirements. This method reduces the risk of app failure to a large extent, thereby saving costs
  3. Virtual Databases - Business app development has become an inexpensive job due to the easy availability of virtualized databases. Instead of creating multiple databases, it is now easy to store all your data in one place. By using virtual databases not only do you reduce the overall load on your project, but also save big on costs
  4. Prototyping - This method is used on a large-scale by businesses to cut costs during the app development stage. With prototyping, the majority of the product is not built but a rough layout is presented for the end-user to experiment and provide feedback. The objective of this process is to ensure that the app fulfills the desired business needs. New prototypes can be designed based on the feedback before developing the entire product, ensuring heavy cost savings and the ability to dodge significant delays
  5. Virtual Operating System - This method is used by mobile app developers to address issues of incompatibility. By adopting a virtual operating system, the changes made by you will reflect in all the operating systems. The software used automates the process by verifying the changes; thereby reducing human errors caused during manual verification and thus reduces cost

The Future of Low Cost Business Apps

Developing countries are the next frontier for the ever-increasing mobile phone market. Though a very booming industry, these markets may pose some challenges for mobile app developers. Majority of the mobile phone users in these countries live in areas with less network connectivity or very slow internet speeds.

Mobile app developers need to take into consideration the size of screens and reduced processing capability of low-end phones in these developing countries. In order to gain popularity in these areas, apps should address issues such as cultural barriers, language, and literacy of the local population. The apps should be easy to use with minimum number of steps to follow, and minimize the battery usage.
