Hybrid Mobile App Development Services

Enterprise mobility and collaboration are increasingly becoming a key focus area for companies. From that perspective, it has become more vital than ever before for companies to be present where their stakeholders are. That means enterprises need to be easily accessible across multiple devices and platforms. With smartphones and tablets reaching more and more hands, mobile apps seems the most logical way ahead.

However, the big question companies need to address is the type of mobile app best suited to their businesses –native, hybrid or web apps. Each brings their own pros and cons. While native and web apps are great bets, hybrid apps sit neatly between the two and are perfect for companies looking at a cost-effective and quick deployment solution across multiple platforms.

As the name suggests, hybrid apps offer the best of both – native and web – worlds to consumers. In the hybrid app development approach, the code is written in cross-platform web technologies (JavaScript, HTML5 and CSS), along with access to native features as per requirement. This enables hybrid apps to leverage all the phone’s features such as accelerometers and camera which is not possible with web apps.

Should you consider hybrid apps? We bet you should! Gartner predicts that half of all the enterprise mobile apps will be hybrid by 2016. With multiple technologies such as Android, iOS, among others in the fray, it makes perfect sense to give your stakeholders the best experience on all the platforms available.

Some people still think native apps offer the best value to customers. While native apps do offer faster performance and speed as compared to hybrid and web apps, they are significantly more expensive and complex to develop and manage. The native apps need to be rewritten every time for different platforms. Thus, the road to market is a lot longer in case of these apps. As far as web apps are concerned, they do not match up to the performance of native and hybrid apps, but are a lot easier and cost-effective to develop. No wonder then that hybrid mobile apps increasingly seem to the preferred way out for customers.
