Juniper Research says the number of enterprise customers using mobile cloud-based applications will rise to more than 130 million by 2014.
Connected enterprise apps benefit from the success of iPhone and App Store as there was a marked increase in both the number of enterprise apps available to end-users. Apps themselves became far more attractive given enhancements to smartphone user interfaces in the wake of the iPhone launch.
While enterprise applications will comprise the majority of cloud-based application revenues over the next five years, consumer apps including games, social networks and music services will together generate more than 25% of such revenues by 2014.
