The era running right now is of mobile phones. We want everything done automatically. Our bills are paid from our mobile, our tickets are bought from our mobile and ourfood is ordered from mobile phone. It has become as a virtual personal assistant, which does everything we says without blinking and stays with us the whole day. How can one describe a personal assistant than this? So when we are doing everything through mobile, wouldn’t it be great to get some help in the management issues from it? It would be great to just have someone co-ordinate all the management issues if once we provide our preferences and guidelines.
Since a decade we are using web based documents, calendars, planners etc. these business apps expand the radius of the help provided by these digital applications to a further level. These apps can handle multiple management tasks and allows the user to have instant contact to associates at once. One can share documents with multiple associates at once with just one click and the medium of communication becomes faster and efficient than any other conventional media.
The key functions performed by an ideal business app:

A project management technology called, Prince2 resources was found by a UK company and is used as the standard project management technique by the UK government since then.
