target=\"_blank\">predicts Ovum<\/a> in their 2015 Enterprise Mobility report.<\/p>\n<p>Enterprise mobile apps have lagged far behind consumer apps. \u00a0Many independent software developers just haven&#8217;t tried because the consumer app market is easy to enter and has been relatively lucrative. \u00a0<a title=\"Only 15 percent of developers target the enterprise market\" href=\"http:\/\/www.visionmobile.com\/product\/developer-economics-q3-2014\/\" target=\"_blank\">Only 15 percent of third party app development<\/a> has been devoted to enterprise related development.

apps that target the enterprise:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Enterprise mobile apps aren&#8217;t built with the mindset of performing small well-constrained tasks. \u00a0They often try to replicate existing large monolithic enterprise apps.<\/li>\n<li>Mobile apps built to use backend enterprise APIs, if not done right, can easily expose the business to risks by accidentally opening security holes relative to user privileges.<\/li>\n<li>Poor design of the app can lead to low adoption. \u00a0As many as 78 percent of enterprise mobile apps are abandoned after the first use.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>What will happen
