Despite the turbulent backdrop, the data tells a surprising story of growth this year. We found that organisations are prioritising security, increasing efficiency, and helping employees stay on top of their mental and physical health. Travel is also well and truly back on the map.

Here’s a deeper look.

Security and collaborative design are top of mind for organisations in the Asia Pacific (APAC) region. 

 

Whether it’s protecting the workforce, giving products a fresh makeover, or equipping businesses with the tools to succeed, a few app categories stand out.

Fastest growing apps by number of customers

Diversity is the name of the game

This year’s fastest growing list globally features a diverse pool of apps, ranging from tools for collaboration, communication, corporate travel, and HR, to a cloud platform, a developer tool, and a security tool. In fact, the big winner this year is Kandji, an Apple mobile device management tool, with 172% YoY growth by number of customers.

There's not one app to rule them all

There’s not one app to rule them all

Organisations rely on a large, diverse set of apps to deliver on their mission, and large companies (> 2000 employees) lead the pack with an average of 211 apps apiece. Companies continue to add best-of-breed apps - such as Zoom, Slack, and Box - on top of productivity suites.

"It's critical for organisations to double down on workforce efficiency, invest in security, and innovate their customer-facing initiatives to thrive in todays' business environment. And as our latest Businesses at Work report shows, many companies are embracing uncertainty to do just that"

Todd Mckinnon, CEO and Co-Founder, Okta
