Boosting Efficiency With Cross-Platform Code-Sharing Techniques

The proliferation of cross-platform app development is the new prevalent trend, witnessing widespread adoption as approximately one-third of mobile application developers opt for cross-platform frameworks as a compelling alternative to native apps. However, achieving optimal efficiency in cross-platform development presents formidable challenges, encompassing factors such as platform fragmentation, varying UI/UX requirements, performance optimization, and managing platform-specific features. 

Amidst these complexities, code sharing emerges as a pivotal factor in surmounting challenges and maximizing efficiency. Strategically sharing code across multiple platforms, developers can streamline development efforts, minimize duplication, and expedite time-to-market, ultimately empowering them to deliver high-quality cross-platform applications that exhibit native-like experiences on diverse devices.

How Pro-Coders and Low-Coders Can Find Common Ground

The Search for Faster, More Affordable App Development

In my work within the mobile app development industry, I've witnessed a significant evolution in recent years. More line of business professionals are building apps than IT teams. Everyone across the business is now seeing the potential of building an app to streamline their work and respond to market threats and opportunities faster. They want to use low-code solutions to collect, share and analyze more business data on mobile devices.

While low-code app development can deliver the efficiency and savings these business leaders hope for, it's important leaders realize the ongoing need for traditional coding and experienced developers within their organizations. Traditional coding remains important in modern organizations.

The Future of AI Is Here: Here’s How to Take Advantage of It

The future of artificial intelligence (AI) in the enterprise isn't in the hands of high-priced, high-powered data scientists. Instead, a new set of tools will put AI into the hands of ordinary developers as well as business analysts. So says the article, "A glimpse into the future of AI enterprise applications," in SearchERP.

That by itself, though, won't give enterprises what they need from AI. For that, they need mobile technology, as I'll explain later on in this blog post.

Artificial Intelligence and IoT: Why They’re a Winning Combo

Artificial intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT) have recieved a great deal of attention over the last few years, and with good reason — they both are transforming the way enterprises do business. And now, a new Gartner report says that the synergy between them will be so powerful that enterprises should consider rolling them out in tandem. The report, “AI on the Edge: Fusing Artificial Intelligence and IoT Will Catalyze New Digital Value Creation,” puts it this way:

“Artificial Intelligence and the Internet of Things are symbiotic technologies that will be the foundation of a new platform for digital business value creation. CIOs engaged in IoT initiatives should leverage these capabilities for strategic advantage.”

Companies that don't look carefully at artificial intelligence and IoT risk losing competitive advantage.

AI, IoT, and Mobile Apps for Construction

Construction has traditionally been considered the ultimate blue-collar industry, dependent on brawn, big pieces of equipment, and clipboards rather than computers and mobile devices. But all that is about to change. Artificial intelligence (AI), IoT, and mobile are making inroads into how the construction industry operates and will revolutionize it within the next few years.

In “How Artificial Intelligence Could Revolutionize Construction,” the Association of Equipment Manufacturers lays out the ways in which AI will change the construction industry. Dan Kara, research director, robotics, ABI Research, said in the article that AI will help the industry in optimizing development as well as doing quality control testing on products and design structures.

Digital Transformation Is Tougher Than You Think. Here’s What Can Help.

How hard is it to digitally transform an enterprise? A lot harder than you might imagine. That’s the message delivered by a recent survey, the “MuleSoft Connectivity Benchmark Report 2018.” MuleSoft surveyed 650 IT decision makers around the world and found how important they believe digital transformation is. The report also highlights how difficult it has been for them to digitally transform their enterprises and far they are from achieving their goals.

The report starts out warning, “To put it bluntly, those organizations that fail to digitally transform will start to lose revenue, and fast…But for many organizations, there are still huge barriers to digital transformation like integration, lack of resources, and misalignment between IT and the rest of the business.”
