5app Launches Its Reliable Mobile app Toolkit for Mobile Enterprise app Development
LONDON, July 26, 2012/PRNewswire/ --
- The new '5app Toolkit' enables enterprise-scale software developers to
design, develop, debug and deploy any mobile app across all types of smartphones and
tablets with assured communications -
5app - http://www.5app.co.uk - today launches its enterprise-scale,
multi-platform, rapid mobile app software development environment - the 5app Toolkit -
which has been specifically designed for mobile enterprise app development.
[http://5app.co.uk/business/mobile-enterprise-app-development ] 5app's reliable mobile app
[http://www.5app.co.uk/business/reliable-mobile-app ] toolkit will enable businesses to
communicate effectively even when reception is intermittent. Enterprise apps
[http://www.5app.co.uk/business/enterprise-app ] are written only once and the same
version will work on all types of smartphones and tablets e.g. iOS, Android, BlackBerry,
Windows and Symbian.
Dr Tim King, Chief Technology Officer at 5app, explains, "C-level executives are
beginning to understand the value of having reliable mobile apps
[http://www.5app.co.uk/business/reliable-mobile-app ] to communicate effectively with a
mobile workforce. This has resulted in software developers being tasked with demanding
design briefs to develop multi-platform enterprise apps
[http://www.5app.co.uk/business/enterprise-app ]. But unlike fixed systems, the
communication mechanism is unreliable and unless care is taken, data can be lost or
transmitted twice."
As a result, 5app is bringing to market a mobile enterprise app development
[http://5app.co.uk/business/mobile-enterprise-app-development ] software toolkit which is
designed as an environment for the rapid application development of robust, real-time,
enterprise-scale, mobile business applications with built-in workflow, geolocation
reporting and full data reliability.
The Product
The 5app Toolkit comprises the 5app Engines and the 5app Factory. A developer uses the
5app Factory to create a multi-platform 5app Fig; which in conjunction with the 5app
engines, then runs without the need for alteration on any type of mobile handset.
5app Engines are subsystems that load a mobile application developed in the 5app
Factory and run it on the mobile device, providing a reliable two-way communication
mechanism. Unlike Ajax technology, which was designed for always connected systems, the
5app Engines provide communication synchronisation whenever data connectivity permits,
uniquely allowing apps to be developed that work well both online and offline. If data
changes occur while the device is sleeping the deployed app is informed and data is
synchronised.
The 5app Factory is a cloud-hosted rapid mobile application software development
environment that enables software developers to use standard web-programming tools, such
as HTML5, CSS and Javascript, and to connect to any enterprise system using a standard
Application Programming Interface (API). 5app's built-in workflow and transactional
management capabilities are major benefits for software developers, greatly simplifying
the design of reliable mobile apps [http://www.5app.co.uk/business/reliable-mobile-app ],
or the addition of mobile functionality to existing enterprise apps
[http://www.5app.co.uk/business/enterprise-app ].
5app has spent the last year developing its unique 5app Engines which run on any
remote handset. Besides the reliable communication mechanism, the 5app Toolkit removes the
need for app store-style downloads of new or updated software. It ensures that users
automatically have the latest version of software available, and provides complete control
over which applications run on any particular user's mobile device.
King continues, "The market is awash with frameworks - often free - promising easy
mobile enterprise app development,
[http://5app.co.uk/business/mobile-enterprise-app-development ] so much so that virtually
every brand is now offering consumers free apps. But such developments are a world away
from the corporate solutions that must be integrated with legacy applications and support
two-way reliable information sharing. With employees increasingly preferring to use their
own mobile devices, business mobile apps must not only run across an astonishing number of
mobile platforms and operating systems, but also offer the performance, reliability and
availability demanded by any critical corporate system."
Pricing and availability
The 5app toolkit is available immediately as an online service at
http://www.5app.co.uk [C:\Users\Tim\AppData\Local\Temp\www.5app.co.uk ]. Use of the 5app
Factory to develop and test apps is completely free of charge. Once enterprise apps
[http://www.5app.co.uk/business/enterprise-app ] are ready for deployment there is a small
charge per user, which varies with the number of end users. In addition, there is a
'freemium' option, which allow apps to be deployed free of charge; in this case, the apps
do not include 5app's real time communications feature, but are otherwise fully
functional.
About 5app -http://www.5app.co.uk
5app Limited is a mobile application software developer, headquartered at the new
Bristol and Bath Science Park and with offices in London.
The 5app Factory is a cloud-based environment for the rapid application development of
robust, real-time, enterprise-scale, mobile business applications with built-in workflow,
geolocation reporting, data reliability and transactional integrity.
5app enables businesses to develop applications once only and then to deploy a single
version across all types of smartphones and tablets (e.g. iOS, Android, BlackBerry,
Windows and Symbian) thereby avoiding the need to develop native applications for each
device.
Developers use standard web-programming tools - HTML5, CSS and Javascript - and can
readily connect their apps to any enterprise system using standard calls. Through the use
of innovative real-time communications, data reliability and transactional integrity are
guaranteed even when remote mobile devices are 'sleeping' or phone reception is
intermittent.
5app is designed to provide robust, enterprise-scale applications through the use of
its in-built workflow editors, geolocation reporting, and highly reliable data
communications.
5app's unique 'engine' runs on any type of remote handset and removes the need for app
store-style downloads of new or updated software, whilst ensuring that all users always
have the latest version of software. The 5app system manages the deployment of apps,
ensuring that each end user only has the appropriate apps; additional security is provided
through user authentication and optional encryption of communications.
