Flowfinity Applications are easy to buy and deploy to meet customer demands
Wireless Enterprise Symposium, CHICAGO - Flowfinity Wireless Inc, a leading provider of wireless application products and platforms, is showcasing its "out of the box" applications at the Wireless Enterprise Symposium in Chicago this week. Designed for use with the BlackBerry® wireless platform from Research In Motion (RIM) (Nasdaq:RIMM; TSX:RIM), Flowfinity Applications is a product line featuring 3 business applications:
- Flowfinity Forms: Mobile Data Collection
- Flowfinity Reports: Mobile Data Publishing
- Flowfinity Actions: Field Force Task Management
Each of these applications has "out of the box" capabilities that can be easily customized to a customer's needs without requiring any programming and integration with existing systems is quick and painless. These applications have been certified by many carriers and were recently certified by Microsoft® as the only ".NET Connected" applications for BlackBerry Wireless Handhelds.
Flowfinity has established leadership in the Mobile Forms category with its customer successes and carrier endorsements.
One recent success story is Ortho Rehab Inc.:
"It is critical for our business to get accurate and up-to-date data on valuable assets that we have deployed in the field,” said Brian Tower, Director, Information Technology at Ortho Rehab Inc. "We were very pleased to find that Flowfinity Forms provided us this capability out of the box without requiring programming."
Recently, AT&T Wireless in the United States launched a promotion featuring BlackBerry and Flowfinity Forms. The promotion features a contest where an enterprise customer can convert a paper or Web form associated with an existing business process to a wireless form on a BlackBerry handheld for a chance to win a 42" Plasma TV.
Flowfinity is also seeing success in Europe:
"Our customers are demanding out of the box application capabilities and integration with existing backend systems," said John Goodman, Development Director of Lan2Lan. "Flowfinity simplifies the deployment and integration of business applications for BlackBerry. Thanks to Flowfinity, we can work with a carrier partner like O2 and be effective at delivering an application solution that meets the customer's needs painlessly."
