In this last year, due to the global health situation in which we find ourselves, there has been an acceleration in the development of mobile applications, aimed at optimizing their operation and favoring the user experience through them.
Hyperlink InfoSystem has compile the trends that will have a great impact at the business level and will be part of the digital transformation process of many companies.
5G Technology
5G technology refers to the fifth generation of mobile networks developed that will represent a revolution in the sector of applications for smartphones and similar devices.
It will allow increase in speed up to 100 times in relation to 4G and especially the efficiency of the same, something fundamental in the tools to which a large number of users are connected or who have to load large amounts of data and graphics.
In addition, this technology will reduce latency (that is, the time it takes for a packet to be transmitted within the network) to 1 millisecond or less, according to the Presentation of 5G networks Characteristics and uses.
The implementation of this technology will undoubtedly lead to more competitive and useful applications that favor connectivity and the development of companies, both internally and externally.
Internet of Things
Internet of Things is the technology that allows the interconnection between different physical objects through the Internet. It is based on the incorporation of devices and sensors to objects, which allow them to receive and transfer information to each other.
It is important to note that its use is not only limited to the domestic sphere, through the interconnection of household appliances, but it is also a technology widely used in other sectors such as health, industrial and agri-food among others.
The implementation of the Internet of Things to business will allow greater remote control, monitoring and optimization of business processes. Likewise, in cases where the volume of data is very high, we recommend the use of Big Data to be able to identify problems, anticipate events or make better decisions more efficiently.
Cloud-based Apps
Cloud-based Apps are the next level of modernization of applications whose computational architecture is designed specifically for this environment.
They are increasingly in demand for those projects that need to improve the scale of large applications, streamlining the storage and transfer processes of all types of data.
It is also important to highlight the saving of space in the memory of the users' devices, which will allow adding more functionalities to the app and therefore improving the services they offer.
Work From Home Apps
The health situation has favored the introduction of freelancers and companies to the digital world and the use of technologies that allow them to safely carry out their daily tasks.
Teleworking has been one of the sectors that has evolved the most in the last year.
More and more companies are aware of the importance of having an application that allows working from home. That is why many of them demand the design and development of personalized apps adapted to their needs, improving, the communication and internal management of the companies.
These types of applications can also collect statistics related to productivity, equipment operation, task performance and other highly valued indicators in the business sector.
Artificial Intelligence
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the combination of algorithms focused on equipping machines with the mechanics of human thought. In this way, it is intended that machines perform tasks, make decisions and learn through the development of logical thinking.
It is undoubtedly a technological revolution that has come to stay and that will allow applications to identify and predict user behavior to create personalized offers, advise operations or hold conversations through chats or voice operators.
This technology is already being developed in many sectors such as healthcare, to promote the discovery of medical advances through pattern detection, or transport and cybersecurity to anticipate potential threats and resolve queries.
Subscriptions And Mobile Ecommerce
According to some statistics, the time we spend on mobile phones from home will increase by 43%”, a percentage that has increased in periods of confinement and that has encouraged payment through this device in both e-commerce and in subscription models.
Many users use the mobile to make their purchases. Available data highlight the growing demand for Apps that facilitate usability and allow knowing the profile of users and potential customers, promoting direct communication in their own interaction environment.
On the other hand, subscription to premium content or experiences within apps is the most successful monetization model in the market since users can decide when and for which services to pay.
When Can You Consider Building An App?
There are billions of smartphones that are actively being used. Applications represent 90% of the time spent on the mobile. But how do you know when to develop your application? You have to have a business that:
- Has a well-designed shopping path in order to offer it via the application. It's easier and faster for the consumer.
- Wants to offer a new customer experience to your consumers.
- Aims to trigger purchases and impulse actions.
- Wants to strengthen your brand image.
- Wants to increase your visibility.
- Wants to collect additional data.
But before that, you must define the target of the application, the level of digitization of the company, the format of the application and the costs.
In conclusion, the trends of this year 2021 are aimed at facilitating communication between people and with their environment, as well as facilitating their daily tasks, improving and optimizing their processes by obtaining and analyzing data.
