All kinds of advice is available for enterprise mobility strategies, but much of it comes with vendor bias. Weighing on the subject from a more objective perspective is venture capital firm Emergence Capital, who studies the mobile ecosystem, and invests millions of dollars in the mobile ecosystem.
The company recently highlighted some real-world tips obtained from interviews with more than 200 mobile players such as defending the freemium model "mobile application enablers" that provide mobile SDK analysis applications.
"Once a mobile application SDK has integrated analysis, the bar to rip out and replaced by a competitor is very high," said company executive Joe Floyd helped in a post on TechCrunch. "We have seen the SDK greatest success as Mixpanel have been aimed at developers early with freemium offerings. As a result, we found that getting your SDK widely distributed with freemium has enabled the early leaders such as Flurry to evolve its product offerings to other areas. "
Mobile enablers are defined as companies that offer SDKs, APIs and development platforms to help organizations create, market and monetize mobile applications.
SDK mobile application makers need to fight for mindshare, Floyd said, because "mobile application developers are simply not ready to embrace an infinite number of SDK" in the mobile arena, which has longer development cycles than their counterparts in applications Web and has devices with limited storage capacities compared to other platforms. The freemium, Emergence Capital model has shown, it helps struggling mobile facilitators who Mindshare.
The investment firm also turned to the web versus native development approaches, noting that the established leaders in the Web area are not necessarily the position in the world of mobile applications have.
"The development of mobile applications is fundamentally different Web application development - the programming languages available hardware resources to run an application and ultimately the distribution model application store," Floyd said. "As a result, incumbent’s technology web applications do not have an advantage in most categories."
The new leaders have emerged to solve specific phone, he said, offering evidence of specialist applications Crittercism as an example of a moving company that emerged focused on solving specific problems arising from the explosion of mobile devices.

"With the application stores that serves as a gateway for user acquisition and monetization, it was found that startups like App Annie (applications store data) and ZenMarketing (attribution) began to solve very specific needs than their counterparts Convertro web as comScore and were not resolved "Floyd said.
The company filed an infographic breaking the mobile landscape in three categories: technologies that accelerate application development; API layer used in mobile applications to connect to the cloud-based services; and driving user acquisition technology sales and marketing, engagement and monetization layer.
Along with the need for mobile SDKs to fight for mindshare and native vs web leadership issue, Emergence Capital provides a definitive view: point solutions are becoming en suite. He noted that Leanplum and Swrve evolved from simple A / B testing to provide more services, Mixpanel expanded analysis in marketing automation and Kahuna and Appboy spent only automation of mobile marketing to e-mail marketing, usurping some Web headlines in process.
"Looking forward, we know that the number of mobile business applications continue to grow and this will benefit the ecosystem of supporting technologies," Floyd said. "However, as the enabling technologies mature, competition will increase - both of new businesses and Web headlines that quickly try to catch anticipate consolidation within the main categories of our landscape, particularly in the first leaders expand its capabilities in product. Suites ".
