Mobile is the future (or is it?)

One of the many advantages that web applications (SaaS is my favorite kind!) bring is this of mobility. Before web business applications you had to login to some server using several cumbersome technologies like Remote Desktop etc. to gain access to those apps.

Also, you could now utilize a powerful laptop or even work with a device (PC or laptop) that wasn’t yours. Now, this is the 2010’s, where smart phones (and other devices) gain ground but also users are becoming more and more demanding when it comes to their desk-independence and mobility. They need mobile applications that (like the web before) offer more and more functionality, without serious (or any) compromises in security.
