Enterprise mobility is a tough problem requiring a big investment in the IT infrastructure, skills, and processes. it has become easy to create mobile applications, there's a trend in enterprises to create lots of small apps – one for each department and each business process seems to be the norm.
Users don't want a folder of 10 different applications that they had to download one-by-one just to write a proposal, share it with their team and set up a meeting to review it. In this case, they should really only need a maximum of two applications: one to write their proposal and one to setup a meeting. Everything else should be a micro app – and here comes the key part – embedded within these two applications. Apple's integration between its core OS-level apps is a key example.
Enterprise companies need to think of micro apps as components to integrate and interweave in a single installable application to fulfil work stream-level needs for employees. The end goal should be to deliver full-scale competitive applications that enable a user to be more effective and more productive; incentivizing them to use these applications instead of other apps that are not guaranteed to follow security requirements. But they need to do this quickly in a cost-effective manner without starting each application from scratch.
Micro apps offer the perfect balance: enterprises can build dozens of niche solutions, from backend services all the way to a crafted front-end UI, and integrate them together to build full-scale solutions for their users as they would think of doing with micro services.
