A mobile application, most commonly referred to as an app, is a type of application software designed to run on a mobile device, such as a smartphone or tablet computer. Mobile applications frequently serve to provide users with similar services to those accessed on PCs. Apps are generally small, individual software units with limited function. Mobile applications are a move away from the integrated software systems.
As more employees, partners, and customers rely on mobile devices for business and pleasure, mobile applications designed to run on the latest tablet computers and smartphones provide new levels of on-the-go access and interaction. Healthcare professionals can access and update patient records at the office, hospital, or wherever they go. Traveling sales personnel can place orders from customer sites. Customers can shop your online store on mobile devices from anywhere across the globe.
