The construction industry quickly realized the power of mobile applications, and mobility has spread like wildfire to all businesses in that sector. This rapid adoption is all thanks to the cloud.

Hi, and welcome to the Mobilengine video blog!

When it comes to developing and managing business-to-employee mobile workflow apps, the construction industry has demonstrated unanimous support for the cloud and hosted mobile app development platforms. But why?

For one, cloud-based mobile development tools make creating and managing dozens of mobile apps a simple process. No hardware deployments are required, no highly skilled developers are necessary and no complex integrations are needed.

Secondly, the cloud allows construction firms to scale their mobile apps based on job site size, employee requirements and other scale-out demands.

Lastly, construction companies move to the cloud to save money. Creating mobile apps from scratch is a huge investment, but with support from cloud services, apps can be created without paying salaries to dozens of developers or buying data center equipment.
