DEPLOY or DEPLORE?
You have to ~deplore~ mobile apps for your business (nonstandard).
You have to *deploy* mobile apps for your business (standard).
If you deploy something or if it deploys, you use it effectively or it works effectively.
I ~deploy~ my own action (nonstandard).
I *deplore* my own action (standard).
If you say that you deplore something, you think it is very wrong or immoral.
The words must be carefully used as they can both be meaningful in the same sentence with opposite meanings:
The government deeply *deployed/deplored* rigging in the last election.
