What is Mobile Classic Blend

Wireless Internet Application Challenges

Deploying wireless Internet applications is currently a difficult and costly endeavor. Simply deciding which networks, devices, and deployment platforms to use can be a daunting task. Wireless Application Service Providers can provide a solution but they are expensive, provide minimal capabilities, and lock you into a long-term solution that is costly to initiate, modify and maintain.

Finally, most users do not find the rudimentary solutions available today to be very useful. In fact, research by the Meta Group indicates that 80% to 90% of users have abandoned WAP-based applications because they are too slow and cumbersome to use.

Enter Mobile Classic Blend

Whether it is sales or field force automation, financial transactions, e-mail, or groupware applications, they all reflect up-to-the-second conditions as they change inside your enterprise.

Key Benefits:

• Applications reflect live, up-to-the-second enterprise conditions on wireless enabled PDA devices such as the Kyocera Smartphone, Samsung I300, and Handspring VisorPhone and Handspring Treo.
