Why Your Company Needs Mobile Applications

It's hard to imagine that a little over 10 years ago, there were a number of companies that still didn't have websites. Many of them were practically fighting the trend. Nowadays, that would be unheard of. Any company that doesn't have an online presence is basically on life support, just waiting for a competitor to put them to rest. Unfortunately, many businesses are in the same boat at the moment as far as mobile applications go. In years to come, people will look back at organizations that didn't make it and point to the fact that they didn't embrace the mobile age. If your company is at risk for doing the same, now's the time to make a change.
Mobile Means Access from Anywhere
This probably won't come as any great surprise, but mobile applications make it possible to access the software from anywhere in the world. After all, that's why it's called mobile. It makes sense, then, that any of your Linux applications you can add mobile functionality too will immediately benefit your company by allowing users to leverage it no matter where they are.
Maybe you have employees who take frequent trips for work. Others may operate remotely. Having a lightweight feature for your Linux applications like mobile functionality means that your employees are never technically "out of the office" if they don't want to be.
Information Is Always Available
One reason many companies finally took the plunge and offered mobile apps to their market was because they learned how easy it was to give their potential customers vital information whenever they wanted. Nowadays, practically everyone has a smartphone and they're almost never without it. That's why apps are such great assets for companies that wish to stay in touch with their market.
However, the same can go for your employees. Whether it's their phone or tablet, you can get them mission-critical data wherever they are at the drop of a hat. Without a mobile Linux application, you'll need to wait until they can get somewhere that has a computer you can trust with this info.
Lightweight and Easily Created
If you think mobile applications will be a lot of work to create, and thus not worth the time or money, you're mistaken. Of course, there will always be countless ways any endeavor can cost more. However, more times than not, you'll find that a streamlined Linux app isn't going to be much of a burden, especially if you have the right software for the job.
Almost by their very nature, mobile applications are meant to be structured in the most efficient way possible. Even though mobile devices are becoming more and more powerful, apps can't afford to become too demanding.
Legacy Modernization Is Always an Option
It's also worth pointing out that legacy modernization can go a long way toward creating ever-better mobile applications. As time goes on, your Linux apps will need a facelift. With a legacy modernization strategy in place, you can refurbish them as necessary, quickly and affordably, so your business isn't suffering for long.
Don't let your company make the mistake of treating mobile applications as anything but a priority. Otherwise, it's only a matter of time before competitors with mobile apps put you out of business.

Our Culture And National Identity

Our Culture And National Identity Our country, Ghana is a multi ethnic, multilingual and multicultural state: it contains many ethnic groups, many languages and therefore, many cultures. There are several problems generated by the ethnically and culturally plural structure of our nation. One problem is how to weld the consistent ethnic groups into a new,certainly, larger socio-political association for the welfare and benefits of all the groups, how to create a unity out of plurality; in short, how to integrate the constituent ethnic groups into one nation: this is the problem of nation – building, which is expected to result in national integration. Another problem is how to avoid ethnic conflicts which can tear the nation apart. There is also the problem of how to create a national culture that we can describe as “Ghanaian culture”, rather than Akan culture or Ewe culture or Dagomba culture or Ga culture, and so on. A further problem is about the creation of a national identity, so...
