Enterprise outlook towards mobility has changed with time and the market landscape is orienting towards developing apps for business-to-enterprise scenario. As enterprise organizations get more indulged in the bring-your-own-device world, they need to move from a point solutions approach to an approach which takes into account the entire platform architecture.

Through its comprehensive enterprise application platform, the company enables enterprises to extend their business processes outside corporate walls. "We want customers to think of business processes in the sense of "Mobile first" rather than design processes for PC and later adopt them towards mobile." says Raja Raman, CEO, GoDB.
