Enterprise Mobile Applications: Managed, Secured, and Controlled
Enterprise mobile applications operate in a fundamentally different environment from consumer apps. Devices are managed by MDM platforms with enforced security policies. Authentication flows through corporate identity providers via SAML or OpenID Connect. App distribution bypasses public app stores in favour of managed enterprise deployment. Data on devices must be remotely wipeable if a device is lost or an employee leaves. The application must integrate with corporate systems — ERP, CRM, line-of-business applications — through secure, authenticated channels. And in many sectors, the application and its data handling must satisfy regulatory requirements.
We build mobile applications designed for this enterprise reality. Not consumer apps with an SSO login screen added on, but applications architectured from the ground up for enterprise device management, corporate identity integration, and the security and compliance requirements that regulated industries demand.
Our Enterprise Mobile Development Process
Enterprise mobile projects require coordination with IT security, device management, and corporate identity teams — not just end users and product owners.
- Enterprise Environment Assessment: We assess your MDM platform (Intune, Jamf, Workspace ONE, SOTI), corporate identity provider (Azure AD, Okta, Ping), device estate (iOS, Android, or both), network policies, and security requirements before designing the application architecture.
- Security and Identity Architecture: SSO/SAML integration design, app protection policies, data encryption strategy (at rest and in transit), and remote wipe capability designed in collaboration with your IT security team.
- React Native Development with Enterprise Controls: Cross-platform build with MDM-managed configuration, certificate-based authentication where required, VPN integration for on-premise system access, and offline data handling with encrypted local storage.
- Enterprise Distribution and Rollout: Internal distribution through your MDM platform, phased rollout to pilot groups, user training materials, and managed production deployment across your device fleet.
What You Will Receive
A production-ready enterprise mobile application deployed to your managed device fleet, with full integration into your corporate identity and device management infrastructure.
- React Native application with MDM app configuration and management
- SSO/SAML authentication with Azure AD, Okta, or your corporate IdP
- Offline data capture with encrypted local storage and background sync
- Remote wipe capability and app protection policies for data loss prevention
- Enterprise distribution via MDM — no public app store dependency required
Enterprise Mobile Scenarios We Deliver
A facilities management company needs field engineers to complete inspection reports on managed iPads — offline-capable in basements and plant rooms, syncing to the central system when connectivity resumes, with photographic evidence attached and GPS-stamped. The application must be distributed through Jamf Pro and integrate with their SAP PM work order system.
A financial services firm needs relationship managers to access client portfolio data on corporate iPhones during client meetings — authenticated through Azure AD, with Intune app protection policies preventing data from being copied to personal apps, and the ability to remotely wipe client data if a device is lost.
An NHS community health trust needs district nurses to record patient observations on managed Android tablets during home visits — integrated with their EPR system, compliant with DSPT controls for handling patient data on mobile devices, and operating reliably in areas with poor mobile coverage.
Why Software Development London
We understand that enterprise mobile is as much about IT governance as it is about software development. Our delivery process includes working with your IT security team on app protection policies, with your device management team on MDM configuration, and with your identity team on SSO integration. The result is a mobile application that your IT department can manage, your security team can approve, and your end users can rely on.
