Custom desktop applications that resemble their mobile counterparts can simplify complex operations.

Working with a custom software developer can help organizations obtain a simple user interface for complex operations. This trend is being backed by the rise of mobile devices, because not only are more end users conducting business tasks on their smartphones and tablets, those who are still using their desktops prefer apps that mirror their mobile experiences.

"Eager for relief from some of their biggest pain points—especially their systems' lack of agility—business leaders have been pushing for software that is far nimbler than the legacy systems they've relied on for decades," wrote Accenture's Ari Bernstein in a recent post. "They have been pressing IT to give them, in the workplace, the kinds of low-cost, accessible, and often intelligent apps they use every day on their own mobile devices."

Not only do simple applications result in greater adoption numbers, they can significantly improve operational efficiency and productivity. The key in today's modern digital world is speed, and having a user interface that reacts quickly and doesn't slow processes down with complex controls is ideal.

Whether your business conducts in desktop or mobile application development, customization will ultimately deliver the ease of use your employees need to be effective at their jobs.
