Speed up mobile application development

One of the best use cases for cloud is mobile application development because of the dynamic nature of the content as technology and user preferences continue to change, said Tim Burke (@CarpathiaHost), federal cloud product manager, Carpathia. As developers integrate cloud and mobile, their focus should be first on the business problem that they are seeking to solve not the end vision of the app that they are trying to build, advised Michael Henry (@DigitalRealty), CIO, Digital Realty. This means having a willingness to pivot at a moment s notice, and not being afraid to change focus or abandon concepts that appear to be losing viability. It s a matter of business survival. Overnight a new app or feature can emerge that could completely disrupt or turn competitive revenue models upside down, added Henry.
