Once enterprises figure out which approach to take based on their requirements and the way they want their user to interact with the app, the next big challenge is managing and deploying these mobile applications across multiple devices with varying operating systems.
To cater to this problem Apexon has partnered with Kony’s Mobile Enterprise Application Platform (MEAP) to help enterprises build a complete mobile ecosystem. The Kony MEAP is a comprehensive platform with packaged applications and development tools that can be implemented enterprise-wide. It represents the core platform for the enablement of mobile enterprise applications, whether they are native, hybrid, or mobile Web-based applications.
