Taking Your Software Solution To The iPhone – And Avoiding Common Mistakes

August 31st, 2010

Apple has historically shunned the enterprise. Because businesses and users alike are taking iPhones into the workplace, there has been an increasing focus on enterprise features finding their way into Apple’s uber-phone. Today you are just as likely to see a business executive using an iPhone as a Blackberry or Windows Mobile smartphone.

The iPhone tsunami has had another effect. The groundswell of users carrying iPhones has meant that businesses are being flooded with requests to mobile enable their products and services. Companies that previously had a deaf ear to the mobile space are now scrambling to figure out how to get on the iPhone. But, while iPhone has garnered much of the attention the past three years, it’s not the only player. Android, Blackberry, Windows Mobile and soon Windows Phone 7 and even perhaps Web OS (with HP’s recent acquisition of Palm) mean that the mobile segment is more diverse than ever. Now that companies have ‘smelled the coffee’ and realize they need a mobile strategy, the next question is, how do we get on the iPhone and which other platforms do we develop for?

On Wednesday, September 15th @ 2PM EST Navara will hold a an Executive Webinar tackling this topic and more.

  1. How best to evaluate developer time, budget and talent availability when comparing in-house and outsourcing resources.
