• Mobile application development is more important
  to the enterprise than ever before. Development
  organizations are increasingly looking for a
  Mobile Application Development Platform (MADP)
  that can support their needs for both current and
  future projects. It's a broad field and vendors
  offer a wide array of capabilities.

SAP

• Compared with other major independent software
  vendors (ISVs), SAP bet early on mobility. Its
  latest mobile offering, Sybase Unwired Platform
  (SUP), has matured rapidly since its initial
  release in 2010, providing a flexible application
  development environment with plug-ins for Eclipse
  and Visual Studio, along with a proprietary
  studio.

Syclo

• Acquired by SAP in June, Syclo initially
  specialized in field service and enterprise asset
  management (EAM) applications for ruggedized
  devices, but has over the years extended the
  reach of its platform to all popular mobile OSes.
  However, enterprises with needs around EAM and
  field-service-based users are likely to get the
  most out of Syclo.

Antenna

• Antenna's Antenna Mobility Platform (AMP) is a
  good fit for organizations that need to build
  multiple applications for various types of mobile
  devices and deploy them as a cloud service.

Kony

• When it first debuted in 2007, Kony focused on
  consumer-facing applications, but has since added
  B2E capabilities, through organic growth. Kony's
  platform is a good fit for projects that require
  the use of native features on an array of mobile
  devices.

Adobe

• Adobe Systems acquired Nitobi Software, maker of
  the PhoneGap framework, in the fourth quarter of
  2011. PhoneGap is used to wrap HTML5 apps in
  native containers, making it a strong choice for
  media-rich enterprises with requirements for
  mobile clients, or organizations that want to
  wrap mobile Web applications developed with other
  platforms like Sencha, Dojo Mobile, jQuery Mobile
  and others.
