Enterprise Software Application Management

There is a growing market trend whereby organisations are placing a new focus on creating software that is specific to their organisational needs and goals – often referred to as enterprise software.

By definition, enterprise software “handles a number of operations in an organisation, for example to enhance the business and management reporting tasks, or support production operations and back-office. The systems must process the information at a relatively high speed.

With the increasing number of employees working from home, there is an importance for organisations to have productive mobile working conditions and tools in place. As a result, we are developing more custom (mobile) software applications for our customers. By creating innovative mobile applications, companies are realising the important role that software applications play in their digital transformation. Find out why taking this next step in your digital transformation journey will help secure your organisation’s evolution to the modern workplace.

Enterprise Application Management Challenges

An infographic with the text “Growing demand creates security issues. Why companies release vulnerable code to production… 54% to meet a critical deadline. 49% consider the vulnerabilities low risk. 45% discover the issues too late in the release cycle.

Through our clients, we have found that as more organisations look to create and manage a mobile application software solution, there are certain challenges that arise. These challenges include but are not limited to:

  • Struggling to deploy, update or remove custom apps on (new) employee devices​.
  • Apps that stop working as a result of system updates ​
    (operating system, access management, endpoint management)​.
  • Apps that stop working because the app renewal certifications process is not managed​.
  • Lack of resources and expertise to manage third party app development providers​.
  • Use the Unified Endpoint Management [UEM] solution to its full potential (SSO, encryption, config management, VPN, deployment).​

At CWSI we prioritise security in our approach. When developing mobile apps, it’s crucial to minimise security vulnerabilities. This helps prevent scenarios like the theft of authentication credentials, malicious actors taking over user sessions, and compromising your data.

Unfortunately, vulnerable code often makes its way into production because security issues are overlooked. This oversight is typically due to companies facing critical deadlines (54%), considering vulnerabilities as low risk (49%), and discovering issues too late in the release cycle (45%).

Benefits of an Enterprise Application

The skills shortage in cybersecurity is a topic that is widely discussed. It is an important factor when businesses consider which processes to develop in-house vs. seek external partnerships. With business processes being the center of your organisation, it is important to identify the most important processes to you and nurture, monitor and optimise them.

A mobile software application has the ability to nurture your processes as it connects your different organisational departments and encompass your most important business processes, all in one platform. Some of the key benefits are highlighted in the diagram to the right and include:

  • Workflow Automation
  • Flow of Information and Accessible Data
  • Process Standardisation
