Nowadays, almost anything can be an app or a service. If it’s not already one of your business’s kryptonite, the Internet of Things is going to do it in a second. Smartphones have become the new remote control. They can monitor whatever’s supposed to be monitored, stream video or audio from wherever it’s supposed to be streamed, and make payment for what’s supposed to be paid for. Even though most people aren’t aware of it yet, the Internet of Things is already here. Your home, your car, and virtually everything else you own is replete with devices that are supposed to perform specific tasks. Some are connected telephones; others are digital cameras; still others are smart appliances. If you own a business, chances are good that your company has an online presence or several online sites for various marketing and advertising purposes. There’s no reason why every single piece of equipment in your business shouldn’t also have its very own mobile app where company staff and customers can access information about the equipment and order parts and accessories as needed. The Internet of Things is nothing new – indeed, many businesses have been using smartphones as remote controls for decades – but with the advent of virtual reality (VR) technology and other new platforms in the computing space, companies can now build immersive apps that provide employees with a sense of what their jobs actually entail while also giving managers remote access over any urban artifact the gadget
Developing an app takes time, money and strategy
Your first step in developing an app should be to determine if there’s a market for what you want to offer. This may seem obvious, but so many entrepreneurs fail to take this crucial step. Before you design your app, you need to know what customers need and what you as the developer can deliver. This will help you determine the minimum requirements your app needs to meet in order to be successful on various platforms.
Consider the medium you want to target before you make your app
To be successful on the Internet of Things platforms, your apps need to be interface-first. This means your apps need to focus on making the user’s life easier, not adding more functionality. This is why many smart home devices and appliances don’t support mobile payments yet. It’s almost a given that the most common purpose of these devices will be to monitor and control them. In this case, the lack of a mobile app is a non-issue because the users will constantly be in control from their homes or their office.
The core task of an app is almost always obvious
Most users will use your app for one specific task: monitoring and controlling a device. In this case, you don’t need to be an information architect or a product manager. All you need to do is write a small program that does what it’s supposed to do. This is the core task of almost every app – to do something. Apps can also perform other types of tasks such as searching content, finding nearby businesses that sell what you bought online, or making scheduling decisions based on the available time. Apps should have a clear and simple goal in mind before they’re designed. This goal should be obvious to the user based on how they’re using the app. For example, if a user is in the home office watching TV and they see a news story that affects them directly, they might want to know what channel they’re on so they can change the channel to avoid seeing that news story again. In this case, the app’s goal is to make the user’s life easier. The app’s task is obvious.
How to measure the success of your apps
Once a platform is successful on your terms, it’s almost always a good idea to look at how you could improve your apps on that platform. Here are a few ways to measure the success of your apps: Compete Against Studies have shown that users prefer apps that are official or certified by official platforms to apps that are unofficial or unapproved. Wins: A quick look at the App Store shows that many people have problems with your app. In this case, you could check how many people have downloaded your app and what problems they’ve experienced. Download Rate: Another indicator of success is how many people have downloaded your app. This number will fluctuate depending on how much exposure your app gets, but it’s a good indication of how your app is doing.
Wrapping up…

Your first step in this direction should be to develop a clear business case for each platform you choose to support. You can then research the different technologies and if you think one is better than the other, you can develop your app accordingly. Ready to get started?
