According to a recent study conducted by Appcelerator and analyst firm International Data Corporation (IDC), about 60% of developers are already using or are considering the use of cloud services in their mobile applications. Meanwhile, about 80% of enterprise apps are expected to be deployed on cloud platforms.
“Not only are the tools accessed through a simple interface, the platform also helps developers cut down on costs,” Appcelerator principal analyst Michael King told Mashable.
