Business Value
Recent advances in mobile technology have made it possible to reduce capital and operational expenditures while deploying applications with greater optimization, manageability, and ease of use. Savings in operational expenses are the result of reduced staff, consolidated management and operation, simplified business processes, and various other factors. Benefits such as disconnected support, enhanced scalability, increased bandwidth optimization, and tremendous efficiency and flexibility in adding incremental services all contribute to the viability of mobile solutions as a market differentiator.
Toolset Excellence
Mobile technology is very diverse in terms of capabilities and technologies, requiring specialized skills to make it happen. Historically, the high cost, slow performance, and wavering platform standards have kept corporate adoption low. Ascendum's consultants have developed rich and responsive applications for use with mobile browsers such as Opera, IE, and Safari. In addition to our experience with Ajax, our familiarity with embedded frameworks like Microsoft's .Net Compact Framework, Google Android and Symbian gets you to market faster with a supportable and portable application. Lowest cost routing algorithms for use in dual/multi mode devices, connected and disconnected productivity, use of PIM data and GPS information, and work in low memory and power environments highlight a few areas of our expertise.
