I first heard AutoCAD’s WS, then some other apps sprung up like mushrooms. Boeing even brought its nine decades of aviation innovation to iPad. Siemens is developing its app on mobile. Upgraded MC from GstarCAD was released, just name few. The companies who already launched their mobile apps are improving their products and companies who haven’t are developing. Is it relating to the recently statements (From Eric Jackson’s article that Google and Facebook might completely disappear in the next 5 years.) that the third generation will be Mobile? Maybe it’ll become true.

Why do companies prefer to show their apps on mobile?

Good question

In short, companies will try to keep up with the latest popular trends. Up until the last decade there was a push to become more social and companies focused on social networking campaigns. Now its mobile technology.

There are many factors that have encouraged companies to go mobile.

- For a company to survive in this decade, it has to be an agile enterprise with the ability to adapt rapidly. This has never been more true since the recession.

- With the mass migration of users from PCs to mobile, now location is relevant.

- Mobile technology tears down the barriers between our business, professional and personal lives.

These factors help a company generate profit, increase demand for products/services, attract new customers, open new markets and sustains the business until the next trend!
