5 Enterprise Web Application Trends to Lookout For In 2017

As internet takes the center stage for all major business decisions and transactions, companies are now witnessing the immense potential enterprise web applications hold in terms of optimizing their internal operations and consequent efficiency. While these systems have been around for decades and being offered by a significant number of web development companies, the recent advancements in technologies are now all set to add a whole new dimension to the web development services.

Clearly, the overall procedure for the enterprise app development will probably remain the same; however, the final product being deployed will be highly enhanced in many metric terms. Since there is only so much that can be covered in the scope of this article, we have listed out 5 prominent areas in which web application development will witness major overhaul:

Security

With a major chunk of sensitive information floating on the web and major enterprises suffering from hacking attempts and leakages every other day, this is one domain which will see some serious efforts from web development companies to make their applications more secure and reliable. Since a security breach not only causes major financial and legal troubles, it also falters the faith users have on the entire web ecosystem.

Though there is no such thing as a ‘hack-proof’ application, the developers are sure to make efforts in preventing data leakages and without compromising with the confidentiality of users.

Integrated Solutions

Companies that rely heavily on enterprise web applications for managing their internal operations and tracking their business trajectory have continued to suffer the pain of fragmentation and delays these applications often introduced in presenting relevant data.

Started a few years back, the trend of real-time, unified enterprise web applications is expected to get into full swing in 2017, giving enterprises the convenience to analyze every dimension of their business from a single application and thus, taking wise decisions on-the-go.

Progressive Apps

This idea, initially coined by Google, has been gaining momentum for quite some time now and is expected to go mainstream. To bridge the conflict between exponential growth in mobile users and lengthy, expensive process of creating an app, the idea is to create progressive web apps that essentially are as responsive as native mobile apps but are quick and easy for development and maintenance.

Speed

A survey revealed that 47% users expect a web page to load in 2 seconds or less. While 40% will abandon the site if it takes more than 3 seconds to load. Additionally, Google search is known to deploy algorithm which takes into account the page loading time as a factor to decide the rank. With this level of user dissatisfaction and potential monetary losses at stake, web development companies are out to explore more technologies like http/2 to make their products faster and more responsive.

New Ventures

With ever-evolving technology, the scope for creating innovative products and services is virtually limitless. As technologies like NFC, AR/VR are refined and coupled with new array of wearable and IOT devices, we can expect some of the most intriguing and engaging web applications being developed, that are sure to capture user’s attention across the spectrum.
