The cloud has become a tentpole in enterprise IT, as many organizations move their systems off premises and acquire software-as-a-service solutions instead of relying on licenses. This move to cloud computing could not have come at a better time, especially considering that mobility is tantamount to success in modern business. Nowadays, companies demand services that improve their workflows, while employees require mobile-specific apps and developers request platforms that are easily integrated.
The all-in-one solution
With all of these needs in mind and a focus on innovating the future of business-to-employee mobile workflow management solutions, Mobilengine is proud to make our mobile workflow app development platform-as-a-service publicly available at mobilengine.com/developers. This innovative, unique and proven approach to mobile enterprise business-to-employee app development – currently leveraged by organizations such as Siemens and 3M – will allow IT professionals to cost-effectively build mobile workflow apps with speed and ease, as well as enable these developers to deploy mobile apps at scale for both Android and iOS devices without disparate languages or multiple tools.
The mobile app development PaaS provides IT professionals with a software development toolkit, including simple scripting languages, and a hosted development environment for testing mobile apps before deploying them at any scale. The combination of a PaaS solution with an easy-to-use build tool is unprecedented and useful across many verticals and industries, as more employees and their managers demand workflow apps to improve productivity. Developers can easily create numerous workflows to meet everyone’s needs, making this PaaS a cost-effective and streamlined approach to enterprise mobility.
Additionally, this PaaS offering does more than just deliver an SDK: It supports an ecosystem. The platform hosts a management portal, developer portal, connectors and analytics systems, acting as a one stop shop for IT professionals. Furthermore, the backend infrastructure is enterprise-grade, ensuring that corporate data is secure and always available to employees.
With the inclusion of the new mobile workflow app development site, Mobilengine PaaS is an all-in-one platform to develop, launch, manage and monitor mobile enterprise business-to-employee workflow apps.
The platform detailed
Mobilengine’s mobile workflow app development PaaS solution is free to sign up for, allowing developers to get started right away creating enterprise business-to-employee apps with this revolutionary platform. For no cost, IT professionals gain access to the developer cloud, which allows developers to test drive their mobile workflow apps before deploying them.
In addition to the test environment, by signing up, IT professionals will be able to leverage the Mobilengine Build Tool. The tool provides developers with languages for every aspect of the project, mitigating the need for developing separate mobile apps for each mobile operating systems, as well as allowing those IT employees to focus on improving business rather than building an interface, integration API and test environment.
At launch, developers will have access to multiple development languages for each required step in the mobile workflow app creation process. This not only ensures a speedy build process, but the accessibility of these languages makes Mobilengine’s PaaS SDK perfect for IT professionals of all backgrounds and disciplines.
Markup languages are for designing and creating forms, while scripting languages facilitate form processing and keep apps in sync with databases. Integration languages ensure that data travels to the appropriate systems and software, and database dedication languages allow IT professionals to administer the apps. Developers can write code in any plaintext application, such as Notepad , which guarantees that even with lackluster enterprise tech, mobile workflow apps can be easily and cost-effectively developed.
In the cloud
After creating a mobile workflow app, developers use the Mobilengine Build Tool to compile and publish to the cloud. They can choose to deploy it in the Development Cloud test environment or live in Production Cloud, which is either hosted by Mobilengine on a dedicated, shared or on-premise server. Moving between those two environments is as easy as selecting a URL, and the mobile workflow app will work on both Android and iOS devices without any modifications or adjustments.
The cutting-edge, one-a-kind Mobilengine PaaS SDK is available here at mobilengine.com/developers, and developers can get started today for free, only paying when the workflow app is deployed on the Production Cloud. This approach to mobile enterprise business-to-employee app development will revolutionize the enterprise IT standard, and getting started as soon as possible is key to success in an increasingly competitive business world.
