MEAPs along with the Imply of Device Agnosticism
Mobile Enterprise Application Platforms are pre-built environments that allow an individual to fabricate a mobile application with the intended purpose of deploying the application to multiple mobile operating systems. The mobile application development environments are usually fairly straightforward and require minimal programming experience to develop functions for the application. A lot of the higher end MEAP environments utilize a WYSIWYG UI, allowing for features such as “drag and drop” for developing functions for the application. MEAP environments are great for device-agnostic solutions that span multiple types of devices. Because they’re agnostic, they don’t cover the unique elements of a particular device but for 80% of the generic business applications, a MEAP environment should do the trick. The average IT-savvy user can typically develop and turn around an application with roughly 4-5 days of training, and deploy to any platform within a company. Applications also
