MobileFrame Announces Release of Version 4.5 of their
Configurable Mobile Application TM Product
Suite
MobileFrame Adds Instant Messaging, Enhanced Device
Support and a Variety of Other Features to its Smart
Mobile Computing Platforms
San Jose, Calif. -- Feb. 3, 2009 - MobileFrame,
LLC (www.mobileframe.com) today announced release of version
4.5 of their Configurable Mobile Application TM
Product Suite. MobileFrame's solution is the only truly
Configurable Mobile Application TM Platform in
the industry that enables novice users to create and deploy
custom mobile applications without custom programming.
MobileFrame's software platform is an entirely
self-contained mobility system that provides full
functionality out-of-the-box, with no custom programming, no
third party mobile gateways, synchronization engines or
SDK's required. With version 4.5, MobileFrame has added a
slew of useful features such as real-time instant messaging,
the ability to capture device snapshots, and support for the
latest hi-resolution devices.
Instant Messaging. With MobileFrame's proprietary
secure end-to-end instant messaging capability,
administrators have full control and authorization over
message senders, recipients and message grouping including
full message audit record logs. In addition, this messaging
operates in both connected and disconnect modes. MobileFrame
is the only mobile platform on the market with fully
integrated, Sarbanes Oxley compliant secure Instant
Messaging built-in.
Enhanced System Administration. The Server Manager
functionality has been enhanced to provide for increased
scalability. The User Administration screen now supports
grouping for better organization of large numbers of users.
For example, you can now group device data by device name,
OS version, device platform, device OEM, etc.
Device Snapshots. MobileFrame's Device Snapshot
feature gives administrators the ability to capture a
screenshot of a remote device's current screen.
Administrators now have the ability to see exactly what the
field worker sees on their device; a great resource for
training, oversight and troubleshooting.
Enhanced Device Support and Graphics Handling.
Version 4.5 now provides enhanced support for recent mobile
computing advances including high resolution devices and
landscape mode. Version 4.5 also includes advanced graphics
handling that conserves device memory, renders transparency
even on Windows Mobile Devices, and provides a
thumbnail-list of all graphics in use. The expanded
capability to use graphics in applications allows customers
to present a more compelling user experience to facilitate
acceptance by field workers.
Other features of Release 4.5 include:
- In-Field Annotation of Photographs.
MobileFrame now provides field workers the ability to
capture a photo in the field then annotate the photo
on-the-fly. For example, a mobile worker might take a
picture of a damaged product then circle areas on that
picture to highlight the damaged areas.
- Improved MobileFrame Remote Manager. The
Remote Manager now provides the ability to view data in
groups (such as group by device, employment role, etc),
allowing better organization of information. The remote
manager now displays the remaining battery, free memory,
free storage, database size, last connected date/time
and pending activities for each user. Version 4.5 also
has added the ability for administrators in the
back-office to initiate a synchronization of the mobile
device. In addition, the Remote Manager allows full
auditing of MobileFrame Instant Messages and export of
all Remote Manager Data.
- Secured PDF Documents. An updated PDF
workflow now supports the generation of password
protected PDF documents allowing restriction of viewing,
editing, printing and copying.
- Updated URL Operations. In addition to
allowing opening a URL in the browser via workflow, the
updated URL Operations now also allow sending of an HTTP
request and receiving a response back from the URL
(e.g., screen-scraping a website).
- Enhanced Synchronization Engine. The Sync
engine has been enhanced to improve performance and
scalability.
- Memory Use Optimized. Several optimizations
throughout the platform have led to a more efficient use
of memory.
