It is the customer or customer who runs the business and not the business owner. A deeper insight would reveal that the data pertaining to these customers is very business-critical. Data related to other aspects of business management are equally important. If you want your business to be successful and perform as desired to achieve your stated goals, the database is an essential element. If you want all company departments (such as marketing, finance, human resources, and production) to work in harmony, database applications become a must. When the database application is made to work from different locations, it is called a mobile database application.

Confusion between mobile apps and online apps:

There are many people who think that these two terminologies are one and the same, but in reality both are quite different. The main difference between the two is related to their dependency on the external server. While online applications must be connected to the external server, mobile applications are independent of it. When there is no network connectivity to any external server, the online application will stop working, but the mobile applications will continue to function despite being disconnected. This implies that mobile applications must be available from anywhere with or without a network connection to the external server.

Access to data:

It is known that data can be stored on a local storage device or on an external server.

Optimal mobile app efficiency is possible when it comes to local data storage instead of external server. For a mobile application, accessing data from the local data storage is easy. Also, the app cares less about the network connection. Mobile applications of this type are very fast and make the user feel very comfortable.

The only weak point of mobile applications is that the design and implementation part are very complex. A mobile application cannot work in isolation forever. There needs to be some data exchange at one point or another between the application and the data source. The application data needs to be updated periodically and this becomes difficult especially when the application does not have any network connection.

Generally, it takes more skills and more time to develop mobile database applications.

Costing:

Mobile database applications have proven to be much cheaper than online applications that rely on the browser for data. The dependency of the mobile data application is very limited, whereas in the case of the online application, the data is constantly sent and received between the server and the data storage device.

One may feel that the cost of the mobile database application is higher just because of the higher initial cost, but in the long run it turns out to be much more affordable.
