Enterprise Apps vs. Consumer Apps
The back end (Cloud) is the
key differentiator for
enterprise apps as opposed
to consumer apps and

apps typically have more
requirements than
consumer mobile apps and
need to be handled by the
back end servers.

reasons to run and develop
mobile apps in the Cloud is

network authentication
servers, it should also be
able to integrate with
social networks
themselves including
Facebook, Twitter, and
LinkedIn.
