Convenience
Basically, apps are easier to update, manage, use and sell. The operating systems are being optimized to decrease device driver and platform issues adding to the preference towards apps.
Easy to deploy
If your app is a simple business application, there are tools like Xamarin, PhoneGap, and Titanium which allow cross platform app development by compiling a core app for multiple platforms.
The App Model offers a great opportunity for the present day organizations to tap consumers on the go in new and creative ways. However, user experience is the key to user engagement. Not only this model provides better accessibility to the target audience but provides insights on improvisation. From improving lead times to cost optimization, the benefits are innumerable.
