These are tough times for the oil and gas industry. With oil prices dropping, capital expenditures slashed, projects put on hold or cancelled, and smaller companies going into bankruptcy, every dollar counts. At the same time, companies are looking to mobile app development to gain efficiences, save on costs, and remain competitive. As your organization evaluates vendors, there are key questions to ask that can save you from big costs down the line.
When you hear: "We do offline."
Understand that all "offline" capabilities are not equal. Be sure to ask:
Can your solution do data synchronization and intelligent conflict resolution (aside from "last-in wins"?
If the answer is "No," then it means your apps will likely have severe limitations that could hurt your ability to intelligently capture store and sync data.
When you hear: "We can connect to data."
Data integration is one of the most difficult and important aspects of app development. Be sure to ask:
Does your software easily connect to common data sources such as REST services, JSON Data, XML, SOAP and oData without extensive coding?
If the answer is "No," you'll likely burn a lot of time and money on data integration and security issues.
When you hear: "We're cross-platform."
Understand that responsive isn't necessarily cross-platform. Be sure to ask:
Do your apps offer a native-like experience on smartphones, tablets and desktops?
If the answer is "No," then users experience will most likely not have a native-like experience on the apps.
