Welcome to the modern era of business. Speed and efficiency are paramount to success right now, so organizations demand always-on connectivity between their employees and corporate data. This is achievable largely thanks to cloud computing and the evolution of enterprise mobility, but companies lacked the tools and systems needed to empower their employees with those technologies. This week, everything changed.
Mobilengine announced the public availability of its revolutionary platform-as-a-service mobile workflow app development website, mobilengine.com/developers. This new cloud-based PaaS SDK is the first of its kind in the business-to-employee mobile app market, and due to its unique capabilities and benefits, the platform is poised to shake enterprise mobility from its foundation.
With the recent addition of the hosted SDK, the Mobilengine PaaS solution to mobile workflow app development is now the perfect tool to quickly, easily and cost-effectively build and manage mobile apps that collect data in real time. If the Mobilengine PaaS SDK sounds too good to be true, we invite you to take a look at four reasons why this business-to-employee mobile workflow app development platform is different from all of the others on the market.
1. No need for cutting-edge hardware or expert mobile app developers
One of the major benefits of Mobilengine PaaS is that it is incredibly easy for businesses to get started developing mobile workflow apps for their employees. Companies don’t need huge IT teams with six month development lead times, and they don’t have to build or maintain the hardware their mobile apps run on.
Developers just need to sign up – for free – to take advantage of the Mobilengine PaaS SDK and development cloud. Once that step is completed, IT professionals from a variety of backgrounds can begin working with the easy-to-understand coding languages that Mobilengine provides for you with the Mobilengine Build Tool. From the creation of workflow forms and scripting to complete integration with only a few lines of code, the PaaS is one of the simplest tools in your IT arsenal.
Furthermore, Mobilengine doesn’t demand cutting-edge hardware or IT industry veterans with a decade of experience. The PaaS provides developers with a Developer Cloud and Production Cloud, allowing them to take advantage of enterprise-grade servers to test and deploy mobile workflow apps without any of the hassle of managing them. Additionally, IT professionals can code in Notepad, ensuring that they don’t need demanding software to create apps.
Simply put, the Mobilengine PaaS solution acts as a single point of control, allowing developers and IT professionals of all skill levels to develop, launch, manage and monitor their mobile business-to-enterprise workflow apps.
2. It’s a rapid development platform
Mobilengine PaaS allows developers to create enterprise workflow apps faster than all other mobile app development platforms. Because the platform provides IT professionals with every coding language necessary, developing mobile apps takes less lines, which directly translates to more time spent on actual business matters. In fact, creating an app in Mobilengine takes 10 percent of the line of code as that other mobile app development platforms. This means you can reduce the time it takes to build business-to-employee apps by 90 percent. Additionally, developers only need to code once for both Android and iOS, cutting the amount of employees needed by half.
After rapidly developing an app, businesses can implement it in minutes. Pushing workflow apps to the cloud and therefore employing is as fast as entering a URL.
In essence, the Mobilengine Built Tool provides the building blocks, and IT professionals can quickly stack them to meet their coworkers’ mobile needs before deploying them live over the Internet.
3. Build free, pay for what you launch
There is no cost to sign up for the Developer Cloud test environment, and this allows developers to gain access to coding languages. These professionals can then write mobile workflow apps for free. They simply start working in Notepad – another free tool – with the provided coding languages, before testing them on a hosted server. All of that comes for free. Businesses only need to pay when launching the mobile workflow app for their employees in the Production Cloud. If a company only needs two apps today, they might need 15 tomorrow, and with Mobilengine, they only pay for what they use.

And of course, the short development times will contribute massively to the bottom line, as mobile workflow apps are developed in less than half the time other development platforms require, and these apps find their way into employees hands more quickly.
4. Grow and develop at your own pace
With the Mobilengine PaaS solution, business always have access to the platform. This allows the company to constantly create and deploy workflow apps for any task, any profession and every industry. It’s free to sign up, so there is no pressure or licenses to worry about as IT professionals create apps at their own pace and according to the organization’s demands.
Additionally, the Mobilengine PaaS SDK and the mobile work apps live in the cloud on enterprise-grade hardware. There is no extra hardware required, companies simply host more apps and Mobilengine takes care of the rest, allowing you to build your business.
