Many of the solutions provided by MEAP overlap with the several features of management based on the platforms based on mobile device management.

Platforms for Mobile Business Solution

The platforms based on MEAP precede the smartphones whose roots are based on personal digital assistants (PDAs). The core elements of a MEAP solution consists of two major form of components. The solutions based on MEAP would be helpful for offering an environment based on the development of applications and various forms of backend services, which would be helpful for managing the mobile applications and thus link them with the various forms of applications based on the enterprises and databases. The centralized form of management system would be helpful for different business administrators for controlling the access for different users (Abolfazli et al. 2014).

Before a proper form of implementation of MEAP, the business organization should be able to determine whether they would need the platform. Some of the vendors of enterprise applications would offer mobile versions based on their products (Verburg, Bosch-Sijtsema and Vartiainen 2013).

Some of the success factors of different kinds of applications are:

Ease of the usage of the application – The easy usage of the application would be helpful for the users to for easy navigation and fulfilling the varied forms of purposes (Nikou and Mezei 2013).

Friendly Mobile Experience – The mobile users based within several business are mainly classified as professionals and new individuals. Hence the developers of the mobile applications are solely responsible for designing uncomplicated and smoother form of services. Hence the applications should be developed with the main focus to provide an interface for building an easy interface that would be easy to understand for every user.

Performance – The developers of the various mobile applications meant for businesses should ensure that every application should work flawlessly before releasing them in the market. These applications should have a powerful functionality and should be able to stand out within the international market.

Agility – The application should perform fast processing of several functionalities. The application should be able to provide seamless forms of transitions between several pages of the application. There should not be any form of impractical accompaniments between the several forms of pages that would lead to unnecessary forms of memory occupancy within the mobile device (Verburg, Bosch-Sijtsema and Vartiainen 2013).   

Success Factors for Mobile Business Solution
