I recently read a very interesting article in Computerworld that described the ways the rules for enterprise software applications are changing.  Computerworld offered 3 new rules for enterprise software to be successful.  These included:

1. Make it appealing – Enterprise software must be user-friendly and work well on all commonly used browsers and mobile devices.  According to Gartner analysts, business strategies for application development need to consider three user groups: B2B, B2E (employee) and B2C (consumer).
2. Make it transparent – Real-time data is more important than ever before.  Employees that have access to up-to-date information have a competitive advantage.  In addition to real-time data, users are also interested in having information presented in graphical form with tables and charts.  These analytic tools help users discover trends and improve decision-making.
3. Update it often – Employees expect and want frequent updates to the applications they use. And with the increasing use of cloud-based software, updates are easier than ever to push out to users.

During a recent webinar, presented by Retail TouchPoints, titled “The Road to In-Store Mobile Commerce,” Steve Rowen, of RSR Research, shared key findings from the company’s 2011 edition of its annual store benchmark survey.  Survey findings showed that 70% of respondents have utilized technology-enabled touch points for store associates for more than a year, a significant increase from 49% in 2010.  And 25% of respondents said they now are providing store managers with mobile technology-enabled touch points, up from 14% in 2010.

According to Rowen, mobile technology presents a prime opportunity for retailers to increase foot traffic and drive in-store engagement.  In fact, 73% of retailers said “deeper customer engagement that builds loyalty through mobile channels is the most valuable opportunity we have today.”
