SolarSystem Mobile Application Builder

No-compromise mobile business application development

The challenges of mobile business application development are notorious:

• Multiple operating systems (BREW, Java, WinMobile)
• Endless stream of new devices with varying capability and a short lifetime
• Unique carrier network policies regulating application update and distribution policies
• Constrained screen size, limited user input capability
• Multiple device services to integrate (or interrupt)
• Limited access to carrier data, voice, message, and location infrastructure
• Multiple enterprise applications to integrate with
• Workflows devised for the office, not the field

The result is compromise. Applications either target one device and one carrier or use a lowest common denominator, such as SMS, significantly limiting application functionality. Often applications are simply “micro-laptop” versions of office systems, not suited to the mobile worker or mobile device.

Introducing SolarSystem™ mobile business application builder

Core to the appmosphere™ platform is the SolarSystem™ (Simple Object Language for Application Rendering) mobile business application builder.  Now, business application developers no longer have to compromise.

SolarSystem enables rapid development of maintainable, extensible mobile business applications that capture the workflow relevant to the mobile worker, composite information from the multiple enterprise databases and applications, and test, certify, and deploy effortlessly across carrier networks and devices ranging from laptops and Blackberry’s to flip phones and blackboxes.

Moreover, with SolarSystem, carriers, enterprises, and software vendors can create mash-apps that tap the differentiating elements of the carrier infrastructure, such as LBS and push-to-talk, and integrate the growing number of mobile widgets, such as navigation, weather, and point-of-sale.

SolarSystem includes:

• SolarScript™ – the core of the SolarSystem enabling rapid creation of mash-apps by leveraging the SolarServices library built on a common object model.

• SolarServices™ – comprehensive set of services that abstract the behavior of the underlying systems to facilitate maintainability while exposing key features needed to leverage the power of underlying infrastructure.

• SolarDesign™ – click-to-create design tools to speed the development of web and mobile user interfaces, data models, workflows, and enterprise integrations.

• SolarThemes™ – pre-built mobile business application themes that can be configured, combined, and run out-of-the-box
