Cracking The Complexities In Enterprise App Development
Investing In The Future
Historically, spending has fallen into
two buckets: development and
infrastructure, with minimal amounts
being allocated to testing and
administration, i.e., discovering how
the technology works in the hands of
the user (Figure 5).
Enterprises are pouring money into
perceived solutions without testing
the market, deploying complex
apps when users are seeking
niche products to easily maintain
and accomplish day-to-day tasks.
About 20 percent of mobile app
development projects are funded
by IT and 20 percent by Line of
Business in an enterprise. A huge 55
percent of projects are jointly funded
by IT and LoB.

How Are Apps Operating,
and Where Are They Made?
A disconnect in app development
may be seen in the lack of uniformity
from the enterprise. Less than
30-percent of IT leaders said their
enterprise conducts in-house
development and design of the
apps they’re building (Figure 6).

your apps in house or outsource them?
