What are enterprise applications?
Enterprise applications are on-premises software or cloud-based apps that serve the needs of large, often global, organizations such as corporations, banks, and government agencies.
Challenges in enterprise app development
Traditional application development is time-consuming, cost-intensive, and requires a sizeable workforce of developers. Outsourcing of app development frequently leads to less than desirable results and can cost more to fix than to develop. To make issues more complex, each app has to be designed for web browsers, tablets, and smartphones individually, increasing costs and reducing efficiency. These challenges can be overcome with the low-code approach to enterprise app development.
Enterprise application benchmarks
Scalability
Must work across multiple devices, networks, and teams distributed over continents and time zones..
Security
Should allow users with varying levels of permissions to access information they need, while securing confidential data.
Efficiency
Must be easy to build and update. Should reliably handle large amounts of data and many concurrent users.
