2. ”WE NEED AN APP”
IS NOT A MOBILE STRATEGY
At Flow Pilots, we believe that the smart use of mobile technologies will be a
key driver in the success of modern companies.
That is why we don’t just develop apps. We carefully design, build, deploy and
manage the digital tools that help our customers increase revenues, decrease
costs or bring freedom and flexibility to their employees.

HUGE challenge: BYODSingle platform = easy, but no platform is perfect!* Also: no single device fits everyone
Fight the urgeto put everythingintoyour mobile app!Add “complete later” functionality(cfr cross-device thinking)
Also:THINK CROSS-DEVICESome actions are easiest on a small device, others are better on a PC.Decouple the 1 app - 1 device relationsip
