Mobile application development has been ushering in huge numbers with consumer centric applications taking the center-stage of most of the development. There are more than two million applications that have been created for different platforms as emphasis is being laid on mobility solutions. There are many analysts that believe that overall approach of mobile app developers taking a shift from consumer centric applications to enterprise centric applications looking at the stagnation of applications taking place. Enterprises have always been cautious in implementing a mobile first strategy putting huge emphasis on security aspect. this is the reason why many organizations tend to follow mobile Device management approach. In the current market economics there is a huge burden on enterprises due to rise in global competition and various volatile forces to take cognizance of resource and asset management. This is the reason why they have moved from a mobile device management approach to a more feasible mobile applications management approach. Enterprises are now focusing on a software front rather than hardware front which eases a lot of cost implications. By allowing employees to bring their own device to the company, organizations are not only managing their resources but also making it easy to stay updated with latest technology. This however is also posing the issue of data infringement. It is a major concern for enterprises to ensure security of their corporate data, which is why mobile developers have to put a lot of emphasis on security protocols while creating applications for the organization. There is a huge difference between the approaches taken by developers while creating applications for consumers and enterprises. While consumers regard performance as the penultimate criteria for the application, enterprises put a lot of emphasis on security. The back end data sharing and the business solutions differ in both cases. Organizations and business adopting BYOD strategy want to ensure that their corporate data is safe and letting employees use their personal smartphones within the enterprise ecosystem doesn't pose any threat to their data integrity. Putting a mobile application in place that can work on a range of devices is a better approach rather than buying mobile devices for all the employees. This not only streamlines the overall business process, but also bring diversity to the overall ecosystem of the enterprise. Secure solutions and better application encryption is the need of the hour, and developers have to adhere to them in order to attain the same success of consumer centric application. Enterprise Mobility Solutions holds a vital key towards future business work-flow as business become more competitive and demand for more productive solutions increases. A hassle free ecosystem for information sharing without the dependence upon mobile device management, is triggering the next phase of mobility solutions. There is a need for virtual sand-boxing around applications so that devices are able to communicate seamlessly with back end sources and keep the integrity of overall data in place. Although there are a lot of limitations currently face by developers to ensure seamless integration of their applications in the enterprise ecosystem, the overall development process is evolving profusely to reach that level of security.
