What are Apps?

app
ap/
nounCOMPUTING
plural noun: apps
a self-contained program or piece of software designed to fulfill a particular purpose; an application, especially as downloaded by a user to a mobile device.
"apparently there are these new apps that will actually read your emails to you"

Now that we defined App

What we do with them?

• Collect Information

• Scan Codes
• Mapping & Coordinates

Get the idea!

Apps built for mobile devices can often leverage the tools that already exist on the device. Camera, GPS, Mail, Messaging...... you get the point. So you can quickly capture location data for example for a delivery service. The Devices GPS system makes it possible to route your drivers in real time leveraging google mapping and traffic analytics.

Cloud Based SaaS

Gartner defines SaaS(software as a service) as software that is owned, delivered and managed remotely by one or more providers. The provider delivers software based on one set of common code and data definitions that is consumed in a one-to-many model by all contracted customers at anytime on a pay-for-use basis or as a subscription based on use metrics.

Utilizing a common coded base features continuous improvement to all customers as new features are added.
