Before we write a single line of code, we work with you to discover:
- What business problem(s) you want the app to solve. We’ll align mobile technology with your business goals and maintain this alignment throughout the development and deployment processes.
- Who your target audience is. We’ll plan your app’s user experience (UX) to serve your users’ particular needs, expectations, and behaviors.
- What kinds of devices (tablets, smart phones) and operating systems (iOS, Android, Windows) you’ll be supporting.
- How we’ll ensure security on multiple levels for your business’ unique needs. We’ll build in data security at both the device level and the network level to protect your company’s and customers’ data.
- How we’ll measure the app’s performance to give you insight into user behaviors so that you can quantify whether your mobile solution is providing an adequate return on investment.
Good mobile strategy is not a one-size-fits-all solution. Much depends on who your users are, what their pain points have been, and how your app will serve their needs. Once we have established the basics of your mobile strategy, we’ll develop a well-considered plan for the user experience (UX) of your app.
To ensure the success of your mobile strategy, Our Creative Services team designs each app based on facts and innovative ideas gleaned from extensive discovery and collaborative strategy sessions with your team. In these sessions, we determine:
- What kind of app should you build. What should it do and for whom? Who are your intended users—their needs, expectations and behaviors?
- What are the most probable desktop functions that your users want on a mobile platform? What do your users want to do on-the-go?
- With that information in hand, our team of top-notch designers then goes to the drawing board, literally. We sketch and wireframe your app, choosing the best elements to include based on mobile design best practices.
Mobile app design is a balancing act. Our team helps you find that perfect balance between functionality, usability, and security, giving your users an app they will love…and keep coming back to.
To get your company on the path to mobility faster and at an optimal cost, we’ve developed a framework called Architecture for Cross-platform Design and Development, What this means for you:
- Cross-platform apps (one backend) that support both native and hybrid, with a 35-40% reduction in dev time and cost.
- Lean server-side components (with only the required libraries); less resource-intensive on the server.
- Ability to white label your apps.
- Access to a large library of pre-built components that decrease development time; includes notification, big data, analytics, etc.
- Ability to scale linearly with ease (tested for loads up to 100K transactions/sec ); low network latency, response within 200ms.
- A cloud-agnostic platform; runs on machines, in your data centers, or in public clouds.
- OpenMEAP based (combines an industry-leading stack of technologies), no/low license costs, no vendor lock-in.
An effective mobile strategy begins with end-to-end security that keeps your company, data and end-users safe from evolving threats. From features such as geofencing and ephemeral messaging to 4096-bit encryption, we have your back. Reach your mobile goals with peace of mind that your data is safe.
To stop mobile security threats before they happen, consider the five facets of a holistic security strategy:
- Device, app and network assessments
- Bring-Your-Own-Device (BYOD) protocol
- A balance between usability and security
- Encryption best practices
- Employee training
The goal is to implement a mobile solution that protects your data, your devices, and your end-users — while maintaining a simple and intuitive user experience.
Benefits of hosting your mobile apps in the cloud include:
- Reduced costs.
- Increased performance, reliability, and data isolation.
- On-demand computing for maximum scalability and flexibility
- Managed operations: Infrastructure monitoring, operating system and app maintenance.
- Managed security services.
The wiweeki team can:
- Recommend the best hosting strategy for your mobile apps—hosted cloud (public cloud), in your own data center (private cloud), or a combination of both.
- Build your mobile app and middleware solutions in the cloud type you choose.
- Create a cloud-based supporting infrastructure, including private app store, database, media storage, auto-scaling capability, and security.
Our solutions leverage platforms-as-a-service (PaaS) from Amazon, Google and/or Microsoft.
A robust mobile analytics tool is vital to the success of your mobile strategy and gives you actionable insights into:
- How your app’s design influences user behavior and how that behavior drives usage
- Increased performance, reliability, and data isolation
- If your app is positively or negatively impacting your business
With this data in hand, you can then be proactive in future-proofing your mobile strategy:
- Rework your app’s design to better suit users’ behavior
- Fix technical issues before they become critical
- Amplify positive effects on your business and eliminate negative ones
