Mobile applications are inherently complex. They need to be implemented using a multi-tiered architecture which creates many challenges for developers in several key areas; handling complex client-server occasionally connected communications issues, providing reliable data exchange, middleware infrastructure, backend data integration, device and peripheral programming, scalability and security.

Benefits of the BrightXpress Mobility Suite:

• Flexible easy-to-use drag-and-drop mobile forms development environment : With the built-in IDE, you can create mobile applications and deploy to mobile devices in hours.
   

• Simplified mobile device programming: BrightXpress Mobility Suite hides many of the complexities of mobile device programming and provides a simplified programming environment to design, develop and deploy wireless mobile solutions.
   

• Built-in powerful data synchronisation engine : Helps you to synchronize only the changed compressed data to and from back office systems.
   

• Data integration to and form backend systems : Exchanging data to and from your back office systems is only a click away by using the drag-and-drop visual designer.
   

• Automatic application distribution and updates to field devices : Handles application distribution, updates and patches to your remote field devices.
   

• Handling occasionally connected networks over limited bandwidths : The platform handles all the low level communications issues including optimised data synchronisation, security, scalability and more.
   

• Various operating modes : Supports offline, occasionally connected, or online (always on) modes.
   

• Security : The built-in authentication and authorization modules protects your business data with 128 bit encryption on device and transmission.
   

• Scalability : BrightXpress allows you to deploy solutions to 100s of users on a single host.
   

• Built-in support for mobile peripherals :  Including printers, barcode scanners, card readers, and more without the need to learn and drive vendor specific SDKs. 

For successful mobility solutions, one would need more than a generic programming language. A mobile development platform that specifically addresses the requirements of a mobility solution allows the development teams to focus on the real business requirements rather than the low-level technology specifics of mobile computing. 

At Bright Software, this is exactly what we seek to deliver: the BrightXpress Mobility Suite provides the much needed solid platform, and ideal starting point from which application developers can start building cost effective mobile solutions in much shorter time frames.
