Everywhere you look you see apps. There is an app for almost everything ranging from finance to writing and even cooking, if you can think of it, then there is an app for it. As of the first quarter in 2021, Google had over a mind-boggling 3.48 millions apps on its playstore.
To really understand the impact of apps, one would have to look back to around 2 decades ago. Those were the days before the dawn of digitalisation. As a Nigerian, one of the most difficult errands to run was the bank. It was long, tedious, time consuming amongst other things (Gen Z might not understand what this feels like).
Mobile applications have carved out a niche for themselves in our daily existence. They play an integral role in banking, finance, communication, media, lifestyle, governance and healthcare. The pandemic brought a slew of new apps into the market. It also made it a necessity for businesses to evolve away from conventional business models.
With the adjustments we made because of Covid-19 appearing to be the norm for the foreseeable future, businesses have to adapt fast or be left behind. Part of the necessary adaptation is continuous digitalisation of service offerings. Businesses will no longer rely on face-to-face to get work done.
Mobile applications have definitely made life easier – while reservations still remain about privacy, security and loss of data, one clear fact is that businesses will have to leverage more on the digital sphere to reach their target customers.
