Being associated with Branex, a mobile app development company in Dubai, I got a chance to have a look at the new innovations and trends that are being fervently followed and adopted by enterprise apps developers. So, without further ado, I’ll get down to business and share how the enterprise app development scenario is transforming and what are the latest enterprise app development trends that will make an impact in 2017.

1. Security Will Be Top Priority

If you ask any app developer about their app development priorities and they will tell you security comes at the bottom. Due to this, more than 85% mobile apps are facing serious authentication, access control and confidentiality issues. This makes them more vulnerable to identity theft and cyber-attacks.
Thankfully, businesses will start to take app security more seriously in 2017 and make it their top priority to establish foolproof security for enterprise apps. Not only businesses, app developers will develop the apps with security in mind. The focus would be on identifying and fixing the loopholes that undermines security of the user.

2. Data Storage on the Cloud

We have all been hearing the term “Cloud computing” for a long time now. We will see its true applications in enterprise apps in 2017. In order to enhance accessibility, reduce cost and improve efficiency, businesses will harness the power of cloud app development. Businesses will not have to purchase additional hardware to run operations.
Businesses will use cloud platforms such as Microsoft Azure, Google App Engine and VMWare Cloud Foundry to develop, manage and deliver enterprise apps. It provides the flexibility businesses are looking for. With ready to use tools and fast development process, the future of cloud computing looks brighter than ever.

3. Rise of Hybrid Apps

The demand for enterprise apps will skyrocket in 2017. With billions of mobile devices, different screen sizes and multiple mobile platforms, the demand for cross platform and cross-functional apps will grow. Hybrid enterprise apps that can work on variety of mobile operating systems and deliver a native experience will come into its own in 2017. What’s more, businesses can develop hybrid apps quickly with fewer resources. This means that your hybrid enterprise apps will hit the market much quickly as compared to traditional enterprise applications.

4. Wait for Citizen Development Avalanche

Back in the day when the concept of enterprise applications was a novel idea, lack of coordination and synchronization among business units and IT departments was quite apparent, which resulted in app development delays. Today, the situation has completely transformed. Business units are following shadow IT processes with readymade apps, instead of depending on IT department to give them one.

The biggest drawback of this shadow IT application is that IT will not have any control over data and system. To overcome the issue, citizen development will pick up, where end users can build applications using shared services, fourth-generation language (4GL)-style development platforms and cloud computing services. With citizen development tools readily available, businesses can create an app without worrying about security vulnerabilities.

5. Reliance on Front-End Technologies Will Grow

We might see many enterprises ditch the client server architecture and model to make way for front-end technologies such as JQuery, Javascript and Angular JS takes center stage. You do not need to rely on high performance servers anymore. As front-end technologies evolved and web browsers become more capable, hybrid apps started using web browsers for storing data.
This resulted in a paradigm shift in the app development landscape. Tools like GitHub and programming languages and frameworks like Angularjs and JQuery are making it all possible. Extensive use of front-end technology in developing enterprise level apps will become the new norm.

Conclusion

There is no denying that the aforementioned enterprise app development trends will dominate in 2017. Enterprises riding on the waves of latest trends can take the first mover advantage and reap the benefits.

Probably the first element that contains most importance is the business logo design of your newly found company.

One that is dark and dull and second one that is vivid and lively. Which one entices you more? Naturally the bright one. Similar is the case with logo designs, the more intuitive and attractive a logo design be, the more power it will bestow to your business in standing out among competition and making a quick recall in the minds of your customers.

To make clear the visual conceptions that make a logo design unique and creative, here are few examples for you to consider, that also shows the newest trends being followed in the logo design industry.

Purple Infinity

A logo design that is the amalgamation of color yet creative and effectively delivers the concept of a nurturing brand by having a butterfly as the logo symbol.

GM Agro

GM Agro is an agricultural business and their logo instantly supplied the much needed information to the logo viewing prospect. This is a very important quality of any logo design to instantly communicate the business industry it belongs to.

Robustness

The brand name along with the logo design instantly suggests that it has something to do with strength and fitness. The logo symbol is created while playing with the grid lines and then providing color to the space left within to create “R” of the brand name. The font used in the logo design is one that is not going to fade its glory in future and will continue to serve as the right typography for the logo design in long run.

Iron Duck Clothing

Did you recognize in a glance that the logo belongs to a clothing brand? Most people say yes, because of the logo symbol. The choice of symbol is carefully made. It has been crafted while transforming a hanger into a duck and vice versa by keeping the brand identity and personality in mind.

Dog Care Veterinary

Dog care veterinary is an animal hospital that specializes in dog care. Their logo idea was to be one that conveys the nursing and caring abilities of the hospital while signifying their target audience as well. The logo clearly makes a connection between dogs and care by using imagery of hands while creating a dog like figure in the middle.

Killed Productions

Killed productions demanded a logo design that conveys the idea of the business in a dramatic way and it is exactly what is provided to them. Killed production received a logo design that featured a horizontal ‘I’ as if dead. The grey color of the logo designed makes it easier for print designs and to be mixed with other color forms depending on the mood of the occasion.

Octopus Café

Probably one of the logo designs that is really close to my heart. Octopus’ logo very creatively delivered the idea of a café while intuitively using Octopus as the logo symbol and tweaking it into a tea cup.

Conclusion

Logo designing is an art and only those who continue it reach to the master level. The secret behind a professional logo design agency’s success lies in following the creative briefs provided by the clients and refining it to a more appealing look.
