Mobile Enterprise Application Platforms Global Overview
Definition
Summary
Mobile enterprise application platforms (MEAPs). MEAPs combine software and services to create a computer infrastructure that allows buyers to extend apps, messaging and data out to employee or customer mobile devices. MEAPs serve as a solution for integrating multiple mobile applications, operating systems and data sources into a single back-end system. Although MEAPs can come in standard prepackaged or cloud-based varieties, most buyers will require a customized platform to fit their specific mobile network configurations and needs.

Global Mobile Enterprise Application Platforms Procurement Trends
Discover the top international trends affecting procurement in the global Mobile Enterprise Application Platforms market.
Warning Trends
Russian invasion of Ukraine is putting additional strain on US chip supply
- Until recently, the United States sourced nearly all of its neon gas (an essential material in the laser imprinting process to produce semiconductors) from Ukrainian and Russian producers. Previous conflicts between the two nations, specifically related to the Crimea conflict in 2014, resulted in a nearly 600.0% increase in the price of neon.
- The Russian Ministry of Industry and Trade announced in early June that it would be limiting neon gas exports as part of its sanctions against countries it views as unfriendly. This move will add to lead times and prices for neon.
- Downstream semiconductor manufacturers keep stockpiles of neon gas that have allowed them to continue manufacturing chips, though it is unknown how long these stockpiles will last. Semiconductor manufacturers will likely pay higher prices for neon gas outside Ukraine as global supplies dwindle.
Neutral
GSA memo asks agencies to review consulting contracts
- The General Services Administration (GSA) recently issued a memorandum asking government agencies to review their consulting contracts with the ten highest-paid firms. The ten firms are Accenture PLC (Accenture Federal Services), Booz Allen Hamilton Inc., CGI Group Inc. (CGI Federal), Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu (Deloitte Consulting), General Dynamics Corporation (General Dynamics IT), Guidehouse Inc., Huntington Ingalls Industries Inc. (HII Mission Technologies), International Business Machines Corporation (IBM), Leidos Holdings, Inc., and Science Applications International Corporation, Inc. (SAIC).
- The memo states that agencies are strongly encouraged to cut non-essential consulting contracts, providing a list of those intended to be terminated by March 7, 2025. By April 19, 2025, agencies must submit their reviews of non-GSA consulting service contracts.
- According to the GSA, the ten consulting firms identified are set to receive $65.0 billion in fees in 2025. The Department of Defense (DoD) has stated its intention to terminate or descope contracts non-essential to the DoD’s purposes; some of the largest market players with high-value DoD contracts include Booz Allen Hamilton, Deloitte, and Accenture.
- According to the Government Accountability Office, in the fiscal year 2023, government agencies spent $478.0 billion on services, with the DoD accounting for $230.0 billion and non-defense agencies accounting for the rest. The DoD spent $21.3 billion on support, professional, and engineering and technical services, while non-defense agencies spent $21.4 billion on professional services, which includes consulting, training, and support services.
- The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) initially cancelled 875 contracts (amounting to around $2.0 billion) but has currently paused efforts. However, contract terminations across most agencies are expected to continue.
Positive Trends
The DOJ proposes Google breakup in latest tech antitrust action
- In August, Google was found guilty of operating as a monopoly and engaging in anti-competitive practices through the operation of its search engine business.
- In response to this ruling the Department of Justice (DOJ) has stated it will seek a breakup of Google’s business segments, among other similarly harsh penalties. While the actual penalty Google receives must be approved by the judge, the DOJ’s proposed penalties signal a zero-tolerance policy toward tech monopolies.
- During the last few years, the Federal government has significantly increased its enforcement actions against major technology companies in an effort to contest the high level of market share concentration in this sector.
- These actions include high-profile anti-trust lawsuits against Amazon, Apple, and Meta, in addition to the case against Google. Consequently, the results of these lawsuits could significantly affect the structure of a wide range of tech markets.

Vendor & Supply Chain Analysis
Vendor risk is minimal in the market due to the large size of the vendors and the diversified offerings of the top suppliers. As a result, low vendor risk reduces the likelihood of a discontinuity of service.
High market share concentration occurs in the market due to the high level of barriers to entry into the market. As a result, buyers may struggle to leverage competition in the market during the negotiation process, reducing buyer power.
Due to the labor-based nature of the market, supply chain risk is low. Consequently, buyers benefit from the reduced likelihood of a discontinuity of service.
The United States is a net importer of computers, meaning it imports more computers than it exports. While lower manufacturing costs abroad drive down prices for imported computers, relying on imports can lead to potential shortages or price increases if there are supply chain disruptions due to geopolitical tensions, trade disputes, or global crises.

Procurement Management KPIs for the Mobile Enterprise Application Platforms Market
Managing vendor performance throughout the contract period is easier when tracking specific key performance indicators (KPIs). For example, buyers should monitor Average Resolution Time and Employee Engagement. Buyers may experience better performance throughout their contracts if they establish service level agreements (SLAs) based on Pricing and other factors.
| KPI | Level of Importance (1-5) | Measurements | Key Considerations |
|---|---|---|---|
| Average Resolution Time |
|
Average time to resolve a minor issue Average time to resolve a major issue |
The supplier’s ability to resolve technical problems quickly and effectively is key for MEAPs. Vendors should be able to resolve minor issues within 4 hours and major issues within two business days. |
| Employee Engagement |
|
Number of meetings Average number of participants per meeting |
To ensure that MEAPs are providing value to the buyer’s organization, buyers should assess how many employees are making use of the platform. The average number of participants using the software and how often they are using it can be a useful gauge of employee engagement. |
