Why build mobile apps?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"smartphone<\/a><\/p>\n

As of January 2022, there are over 6.64 billion smartphone<\/a> users in the world with an 83.96% penetration rate<\/a>. As is well known, people spend 90% of their mobile time in apps. Now picture this. After at least 8 hours of work and 8 hours of sleep, most people are left with less than 8 hours to spend for themselves \u2013 4.8 hours every day<\/a> of which they are spending in apps! That\u2019s half of their life\u2019s independent time. Are you able to fathom the power of mobile apps?<\/p>\n

So if there\u2019s any way forward for businesses, its mobile apps. Now that you can appreciate this fact, let\u2019s move on to the more pressing questions.<\/p>\n

How to develop a mobile app?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

When we say a startup or business is building a mobile app, it usually means they are either hiring an in-house team to build their app, or they are outsourcing app development to an app development agency. Some tech startups may have founders who are app developers themselves and can get the job done on their own, but even they need some outside help with development once the business grows and time shrinks. So the first decision you need to make is \u2013<\/p>\n

In-house team or outsourcing app development?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

An in-house team is a good option for businesses that are heavily into tech development and are going to need a steady stream of apps and other digital assets to be developed. Otherwise, if you need an app development team just for the initial development cycle, the team would be sitting idle on your payroll for the\u00a0rest of the time,\u00a0because apps aren\u2019t developed every day. Once the app development is complete and your app is launched and up and running, the in-house team can become a liability.<\/p>\n

Outsourcing app development sounds like a much better option for most businesses small and large because you can contract the team for the duration of project and let go of them once your needs are met. Not only is this extremely cost efficient but it also allows you to choose from some of the best app development companies around the world and pick the one that perfectly suits your needs. You can take your pick from the most experienced to the most modern teams.<\/p>\n

Some of the biggest companies in the world have come to a conclusion repeatedly that outsourcing app development is the best strategy in the long run.\u00a0Successful examples<\/a> include\u00a0the likes of\u00a0Alibaba, Google,\u00a0Basecamp\u00a0and even Microsoft.\u00a0That\u2019s right, this technology stalwarts outsourced multiple parts of their business offerings in order to make sure that their business stayed on track and cost efficient.<\/p>\n

Some successful examples of app development outsourcing<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Alibaba<\/strong><\/p>\n

When Alibaba began to grow as a massive global company<\/a>, Jack Ma realised\u00a0that the kind of talent he would need to keep the apps running would require a great deal of scouting and a lot of money. Outsourcing to developers who are more qualified for the job even if not available locally turned out to be the better business decision\u00a0for Alibaba.<\/p>\n

Google<\/strong><\/p>\n

The world\u2018s leading tech giant Google is in fact one of the biggest fans of outsourcing app development. For a company that has dozens of products and services to offer, it isn\u2019t quite possible to develop every single product in house. According to a Bloomberg report, in the year 2018, Google had more contractors<\/a> than the number of in-house employees they have. Google uses app development outsourcing to develop several of its products from virtual assistant work to IT development.<\/p>\n

Microsoft<\/strong><\/p>\n

Even with his 131,000 in house employees, Microsoft\u2019s often uses outsourcing to develop a number of projects that run parallel to its traditional scope. Outsourcing niche development projects to outside teams allows Microsoft\u2019s to keep their in-house employees focused on their core projects and enhance their creativity.<\/p>\n
