Despite the increasing interest in mobile apps at the enterprise level, we’ve realized something interesting in our time within the industry: many companies have no idea what it costs to create and support an app (for the record, from development, to testing, to support, an app could cost in the ballpark of $50-100 thousand over […]
Just last Friday, word got out that Burstly, who makes the popular mobile app testing platform TestFlight, was acquired by Apple. This news came just after an announcement that Testflight would be ending its Android support on March 21st, that it was discontinuing its SDK, and finally, that it was shutting down FlightPath, Burstly’s mobile […]
Less than two years ago, 51% of consumers believed that inclement weather would interfere with cloud computing. Although there hasn’t been a follow-up survey to determine that number today, we hope that the general public has made progress in their knowledge of the cloud. Bad weather aside, there’s still a lot out there that even […]
A BYOD (bring your own device) policy that enables employees to work outside the office on their own devices works well for many companies, big and small. If you’re looking to expand into foreign markets, a BYOD policy provides several advantages, including increased flexibility for you and your staff and access to the business network […]
Love is in the air. Or maybe that’s just us imagining the smell of the fresh flowers that are definitely going to be delivered here to the office later this week. Either way, love it or hate it, Valentine’s Day is almost upon us. For many of us, that means date night, Hallmark cards, and […]
It’s that time again. Time to celebrate another year as enterprise mobile app management pioneers. For App47, it’s our 3rd anniversary since starting in January 2011.

What’s the definition of mobility? If you ask me, that question used to be a lot easier to answer. We had our standalone PCs, and then we had cell phones, and eventually, smartphones—but that was it. There was a static element in the PC, and a mobile element with the smartphone, but there wasn’t a […]
Over the last few weeks, we’ve covered the three most common software deployment models in use today: the public cloud, on-premise, and managed service. Each deployment model got its own detailed post, but we get it—sometimes you just want a simple, no-frills breakdown of how different options compare. To lay things out and give you […]
When we posted part II of our series about software deployment models last week—about on-prem deployment—you may have thought that we were done, and that on-prem and the public cloud were the only two options available to companies looking for an enterprise mobility solution. But as a matter of fact, the saying that you can’t […]
When we continued our series on software deployment models last week, we discussed a very popular option for most of our clients: deployment via the public cloud. But in terms of available software deployment models, the cloud only tells part of the story. Prior to the ‘invention’ of the cloud, we had mainframe computing. Mainframes […]
