Extended Systems (NASDAQ:XTND)
Historical Stock Chart
From Nov 2019 to Nov 2024
Extended Systems (Nasdaq:XTND), a leading provider of
mobile software solutions, announced today during TechEd 2005 the
availability of enhanced developer tools for its OneBridge Mobile
Platform. OneBridge Mobile Platform version 4.5 now enables developers
to easily retrofit existing applications with push capabilities. With
no re-architecting for legacy applications necessary, OneBridge can
detect database changes and push them to a mobile device in the field
in real time. This enhancement enables developers and independent
software vendors to quickly and easily build solutions that bring
enterprise information to mobile workers, while significantly reducing
development time.
Utilizing the new OneBridge Mobile Application Acceleration
Toolkit (OMAAT), version 4.5 also enables developers creating mobile
solutions in .NET or J2ME environments to embed Extended Systems'
synchronization, web services and push engine technologies into their
application, eliminating the need for separate components on the
client. This reduces client footprint requirements and makes these
processes invisible to the end user, resulting in a more elegant and
streamlined user experience. The embedded toolkit is now available for
.NET, .NET Compact Framework (CF), and Blackberry J2ME.
CAS Software, a developer and distributor of CRM (customer
relationship management) software solutions from Germany, utilizes the
OneBridge platform to mobilize their solution.
"We are excited about the new release of OneBridge Mobile Data
Suite, especially the features that allow applications to synchronize
data from smartphones, SyncML devices and Blackberries," said Ludwig
Neer, CTO at CAS.
Enhanced device management tools have also been incorporated into
the 4.5 release. OneBridge now supports a full-fledged engine capable
of running scripts, enabling custom product development. In addition,
OneBridge now supports over-the-air install capabilities and
"kill-pill" features that disarm stolen or lost devices easily.
"The 4.5 release further validates that we offer one platform that
can fulfill the needs of the enterprise both today and tomorrow," said
Charles Jepson, president and CEO at Extended Systems. "That's an
important consideration for any organization interested in future
proofing their investment in mobile technologies."
