Mobile BI: The Smart Strategy For Today’s Smartphone-Driven World
Whether you’re trying to book a cab to get home from work, or simply need an appointment with your favourite hairstylist, all you need to do is tap on the icon on your phone to avail the service. With several payment options also being made conveniently available on an app, more and more organisations are looking to extend their services to cell phones. In a world that is increasingly dependent on smartphones and tablets for services that are beyond basic communication, Mobile BI plays an important role in developing mobile applications for use now as well as in the future.
What Is Mobile BI? Mobile Business Intelligence is, simply put, a smart way of extending software designed for desktop usage to a more convenient platform—mobile phones. BI applications started off by being shared to personal computers. With advancements in technology and development of newer devices, mobile BI was modified to fit the requirements of pagers and eventually smartphones and tablets. Depending on screen size, resolution, memory, and processor, the mobile BI app varies from device to device. Both web as well as mobile platforms are frequently used, but the mobile BI is gaining popularity and support with tremendous changes seen in software development.
