1. Fully Implemented Mobile App Strategy

Red Hat's survey outlines a rapidly growing mobile app space as more companies shift toward a collaborative approach between their businesses and IT while adopting newer, more agile technologies to enhance mobile development.

Currently, 52 percent of respondents to Red Hat's survey said they have fully implemented mobile app strategies. That's a huge increase from a 2013 survey conducted by app development platform provider FeedHenry, which Red Hat acquired in 2014. According to the 2013 survey, only 7 percent of 100 respondents had fully implemented mobile app strategies, meaning that more than seven times as many companies are now recognizing the importance of mobile apps.

Partner Takeaway: The mobile app development space is rapidly becoming a lucrative market for solution providers as more businesses look for industry-specific solutions and apps to automate business processes.
