If a company aims towards a mobile-first strategy, it cannot afford to miss the opportunity an app presents for a better customer engagement. There are more than 1.6 billion apps on Google Play Store and more than a billion apps on iOS. In fact, 85% of the smartphone market is dominated by iOS and Android.
There are two major categories of applications, i.e. Native and Hybrid. Native apps are platform specific apps written in native language. On the other hand, hybrid apps are written in web language and thus, supports multiple platform.

Focus on big data analytics and popularity of cloud-computing is fueling the rise of enterprise apps and mobility.
