1.1 Background
ELIT Language Centre is an established English language centre, founded in 2007. Our purpose is to provide the
best possible English Language programs for all individuals young and old, who either want to enroll in a
university or simply improve their English language skills. Our mission is based on our quest to build positive

1.2 Benefit of Mobile App

A mobile app is a software application developed specifically for use on small, wireless computing devices, such
as smartphones and tablets, rather than desktop or laptop computers.

1.3 Core benefits of Mobile applications.

 Create a Direct Marketing Channel

One of the biggest benefits of having a mobile app is that all the information you’d like to provide
to your customers at their fingertips. Through push notifications you’re getting even closer to a
direct interaction, and can easily remind customers about your products and services whenever it
makes sense.

 Enhances the visibility of your brand

In today’s competitive world, mobile apps are the best tools to enhance visibility of your brand.
The awareness and name of your brand will increase tremendously with a mobile app. In fact, it
works like a billboard sign. If you have a mobile app with great looks and features, nothing can stop
it from increasing your brand awareness.
Mobile apps have the ability to serve multiple functions such as playing games, audio & video, news
feeds, instant chat and many more. In short, it works as a direct channel that provides the user
with all the information they need.
  Stand Out From the Competition

These days, mobile apps at the small business level are still rare, and this is where you can take a
big leap ahead of your competitors. Be the first in your neighborhood to offer a mobile app to your
customers. They’ll be astonished by your forward-thinking approach!

 Reduces cost and increases customer engagement

Mobile apps reduce the cost compared to instant messages and traditional advertising. The
communications are secured and directed instantly to the messaging customers. Moreover, the
mobile apps reduce the staff work. A majority of customers tend to use mobile apps as they allow
them to connect with your business easily. Businesses are using apps to improve the processes and
increase the level of accessibility their customers have. No doubt, mobile apps are the most
valuable tools for today’s competitive business world.

1.4 Benefit of Android Mobile App development.

Android is free and an open platform built on Linux. It is also an open source solution for mobile devices offering
a complete software stack including operating system, middleware and key mobile applications

 Low Investment & High ROI

Android comparatively has a low barrier to entry. Android provides freely its Software
Development Kit (SDK) to the developer community which minimizes the development and
licensing costs. The development costs can be divided into three stages: Stage#1 – application
development, Stage#2 – testing, and Stage#3 – hardware cost for testing and deploying the
android mobile application.

 Open Source

Get the open source advantage from licensing, royalty-free, and the best technology framework
offered by the Android community. The architecture of the Android SDK is open-source which means
you can actually interact with the community for the upcoming expansions of android mobile
application development. This is what makes the Android platform very attractive for handset
manufacturers & wireless operators, which results in a faster development of Android based phones,
and better opportunities for developers to earn more. That’s the magic of Android.
  Easy to Integrate

The android platform is ready for customization. You can integrate and tweak the mobile app
according to your business need. Android is the best mobile platform between the application
and processes architecture. Most of the platforms allow background processes helping you to
integrate the apps.

 Android can be easily accessed

According to reliable recent statistics by idc.com, Google’s Android gobbled up market share to
a large extent, accounting for 80% of all smartphones shipped globally. The best part of Android
is that it is easily accessible to any Android programmer with knowledge of Java and the Android
SDK. The Android SDK can be easily accessed and has the potential and capability to create some
of the most innovative mobile apps.

1.5 Why choose Android platform over IOS for ELIT App development

Before building the ELIT App we conducted a survey with our students, and most of them use phones with
android operating system, we also took into consideration the market share of mobile platform in Southeast
Asia and in the Middle-East and the Android OS is the dominant platform in these two regions since 2015 with
over 80% of market share.
