The mobile world is a mess of different devices, operating systems, proprietary technology and consequently it is difficult to develop applications to work on all these devices. Additionally, desktop software is difficult to successfully replicate on mobile devices, and results in users having to login, navigate cumbersome menus and drain batteries with high bandwidth usage. This is frustrating and a time waster for companies wanting to deploy data across a range of devices to their users.
Existing solutions to mobilize business data and applications have often involved months of preparation, development and expensive deployments, often with mixed results as they attempt to fit a desktop application on to a mobile device.
Its future proof because it uses the messaging tools already on phones, so you'll save money on phones and time on user training.
Mobile Data Now is dedicated to advancing the mobile experience. Its core technology to connect multiple databases and web services, manage users and display relevant business data by simply using the messaging applications already on a users phone is the foundation for building mobile internet applications that deliver a breakthrough and speedy user experience.
Mobile Data Now's user interface design increases the speed of deployment for administrators to their users, delivery of data, the user experience and ultimately improves the bottom line. The ability to manage business data, set data view permissions and create custom queries for users powers the administrator to deliver the right business data in the best possible format to users.
Mobile Data Now does not require client end-users to install additional software to receive their data - the data can be received instantly via email, SMS or instant messaging. This is important in that end users do not have to learn how to use another application and administrators do not need to worry about installing third party software which may have bugs and compromise security. Additionally, it works with all of today and tomorrow's mobile phones with messaging capabilities from any manufacturer.
Mobile Data Now helps companies with the need for their users to get relevant data while mobile. Specifically, these can be broken down in to three categories.
Industries include:
Mobile Data Now is completely free for one user. This lets users try the software and experiment with it as much as they wish, without any time limits. This strategy appeals to and helps foster a larger community of users, which in turn helps make Mobile Data Now the type of application they want to use. The community Project Library lets users find a quick solution to get started with their exisiting applications, or allows users to create and offer their projects to the Project Library. Companies can add existing users as they need them.
Applications which benefit the most from Mobile Data Now share some of the following characteristics:
With Mobile Data Now, these applications reach new heights and are able to drastically improve an organization's bottom line with increased user effectiveness, satisfaction and lower costs - unlike applications implemented using thick client tools, which suffer from difficult deployment, expensive and complex development and low user satisfaction.
Mobile applications in general need to respond to the very specific communication and service usage patterns of mobile end users.
Mobile Users are mainly on the move, they just have very limited time available for service usage.
In a business environment end users often have to comply in addition to the pressure of operational efficiency which leads to even more time constraints.
Successful mobile applications in a business environment will therefore also in the future continue to be immediate, reliable, straightforward, familiar and ergonomic.
The most common services are therefore SMS and email because they fit perfectly well into the very specific communication needs and constraints of mobile customers.
The success of SMS was driven by the end users, not mobile operators who tried to impose “fancy” new services to their customers.
It is of crucial importance that mobile end users accept the services right from the start in order to avoid usage frustration which, in the mobile environment, often leads to service rejection.
Mobile Data Now lays the foundation for a new class of mobile data applications which radically improve the availability of relevant data to end users. With extensive industry experience and expertise in deploying mobile solutions, Mobile Data Now provides the only mobile data application platform which:
