Technologies

There is an ever increasing onslaught of ways to build a mobile app and the environment is constantly changing.  These technologies can be broken down into four categories:

Hybrid vs. Native?  (Try our Assessment tool to see which is best for you.)

Depending on who you ask, the question of ‘Hybrid vs. Native’ may spark a minor religious debate.  However, we don’t believe that any one is the ideal choice for everything.

In general we feel that HTML5 and Hybrid applications are easier to build and allow you to build for more than one platform, but they have a limited user experience and access to the device hardware.

Native frameworks are more expensive to build, but offer the ideal user experience.

These are some of the questions we can help answer:

“You’ve just realized that you need a mobile application, now what?” 

“Do I really need an app, or will a mobile website accomplish the same goal?“

“I need to make sure that my Intranet application can be used from a mobile device.  What is the best way to support the tablets my employees are bringing?”

“I need to support Apple and Android, but can’t hire a teams to support both platforms, will a Hybrid or Phonegap application work?”

“How do mobile applications fit into my long-term strategy?”
