A NEW approach to creating mobile computing applications in the enterprise

The need to create strong user orientated logic has often led organisations wishing to deploy mobile computing applications to come up with something specific (read expensive) for each deployment. Scalability and robustness have often been thought of as only available to those with HUGE IT budgets.

Historically this thinking has led companies to adopt one of these approaches:
Buy an off the shelf solution

  • Traditional square peg round hole approach
  • Expensive, inflexible will no doubt need customisation
  • Technically, can become outdated quickly

Commission a bespoke application development
  • Tough to justify in house as skills in mobility not common
  • Costly, complex, and time consuming
  • Difficult to change repeat maintain and upgrade
Use the mobility module that came with the existing back end systems
  • Geared to extend ERP SCM, and CRM functions to small screens not designed
    for mobile workers
  • Not good at accessing multi-application back end environments
  • Often excludes functionality mobile workers need
None of these approaches talk much about real world sustainability or ROI, in reality how long do you expect your mobile process to stay the same??
In contrast our application platform is designed to address your need to create sustainable mobile computing applications right across an organisation:

One platform many applications.
  • Either we develop applications for you or you can take control of the development deployment and maintenance cycles
  • Development time investment and project risk is radically reduced.
  • Multiple applications 'that change' can be accommodated at any time.
    Scalable and robust.
  • Support for a wide variety of devices using WinMobile 6.1 XP/Vista/7.
Challenge us, to build your prototype application in 72 hours and show you the results on a webinar or in person.
