Student’s Last Name 2Introduction In an effort to successfully deploy mobile solutions, businesses face a hard time. Mobilitypresents an extremely multiplex hitch, which requires experience, focus, and competency that most companies, regardless of the outsourcing provider or bench strength, just lack. Further, the adoption of the mobile solutions is a complicated process which affects all the departments of thebusiness. A few months before the deployment of mobile solutions, the organization needs to notify the HR, finance, logistics, sales, and any other key stakeholders about the incoming changes, what applications will or will not be used, candidates for mobilization, and how the onboarding process of the employees will take place (Heitkötter, Hanschke, and Majchrzak, 2012, pp. 120). Indeed, smartphones have unlimited capabilities, and consumers tend to spend more time with phones on their hand rather than the pocket. Additionally, the increase in the number and quality of mobile business applications has increased the dynamic nature of the smartphones. Having noted this, therefore, it is an oddity that only half of the medium-sized and small businesses have truly and fully begun to deploy the intelligent mobile solutions into their model. Nonetheless, the recent past has seen an upward trend in the number of organizations thatare willing to take this crucial step.Technologies of mobile solutionsIn the modern world, anyone can pop into meetings through Skype, dial at the comfort of their homes and email important documents such as reports to the desired recipients. Mobile technology is viewed as the game changer. Businesses are striving to ensure that employees complete the allocated tasks effectively and at the given time, using the mobile solutions that fit them. And, there are some technologies that have made this possible. First, mobile solutions have

Through direct messaging, tap and pay technologies and so on, companies have been brought closer to their customers. The marketing world, in particular, has been shaken by the new technologies. The Samsung’s Gear 360 camera is one of the unique gadgets that enable the businesses to create a memorable and eye-catching 360-degree video for marketing purposes (Osseiran, Braun, Hidekazu, Marsch, Schotten, Tullberg, Uusitalo, and Schellman, 2013, pp. 5). Another special device is the Gear VR virtual reality headset that allowsthe clients to “teleport” to other destinations swiftly, just by using a smartphone.A host of metrics has shown that organizations using mobile solutions such as mobile payments and cloud collaboration have hit export and growth milestones faster. The mobile-first solutions and the cloud-based tools have created a cheaper and easier way to start and scale a venture. According to a report by CB Insights, the cost of starting a small business in 2000 was £3.3 million, and by 2011 the figure had reduced to £3200. Other tools such as Google Drive, PayPal, and Slack have cut in half the time taken for businesses to venture into the international market. For businesses founded in 2003-2008, it took 41 months to go global, whereas it took only 22 months for businesses started in 2009 and onwards.Slack is a messaging service that helps to keep the employees in touch with each other. The messaging service connects the workers who are mobile and also offers a valuable method to keep connected with customers and ensure the different segments of the business are linked. The Slack messaging service works across a variety of platforms including desktops, tablets, and so on. The messaging service also offers a single channel where the customers can ask questions regarding various products and services.

For a business to remain competitiveand continuously innovate in the current mobile society, a mobile app development platform is essential. One of the major decision that managers have to make is choosing the best mobile platform that will ensure the implementation process is successful. There are two options to choose from which include a mobile application and a mobile site (Ruffini, Wosinska, Achouche, Chen, Doran, Farjady, Montalvo, Ossieur, O'Sullivan, Parsons, and Pfeiffer, 2014, pp. 32). Mobile sites are found inside the browser of devices that are connected using the internet. The iPhone, for instance, makes use of the Safari browser. One of the benefits of the mobile websites is that almost all of the internet-enabled devices have access to them. Users do not have to download anything, and if a proper setting up is done, the content and format of the platform can be viewed clearly. The adoption and advent of HTML 5 has made mobile Web sitesappear more like apps and possess the same capabilities (Xanthopoulos and Xinogalos, 2013, pp.214). On the other hand, the mobile applications are device-specific and must be downloaded from an identified marketplace, which includes the Android Market or the Apple App Store. Applications have native capabilities which provide improved capabilities such as scanning, offline usage, and GPS-enabled location services. Organizations, therefore, need to choose the best platform that will ensure the smooth implementation of the mobile solution.Success factorsThe modern business world requires the employees to work anywhere, anytime and conveniently. According to HPE Aruba, a wireless firm, 39 percent of employees have identified
