A Few Agencies Use Internal Apps to Boost Mobility, Collaboration

Agencies are still in the early stages of mobile app development and adoption, with most strained by the lack of staff, leadership and resources to develop enterprise mobile apps and stores, according to a new report.

The new guide – “Making Mobile Matter” – released by GovLoop, found that most agencies do not yet have a mobile strategy in place. Only 25 percent said they have a mobile strategy, while 26 percent said they are developing one. Those results are based on a GovLoop survey of 155 government innovators and employees leveraging mobile. In addition, the majority of agencies (73 percent) have not leveraged mobile apps for internal use, and most (87 percent) are not planning to adopt or develop internal apps.
