Be more productive

Focus on solving the business needs using the knowledge you know best: what the existing systems offer and what your business users need, using the tools you already know.

Develop server-side using .Net languages like C# or use Python to address the data sources and interact with Rover objects, you are instantly productive and can test results in literally minutes. Use the IDE of your choice, such as Microsoft Visual Studio to build, and then use the Rover Apps provided Connector Workbench to validate your code and see the exact details of what is exchanged with the mobiles.

Deploy on the Rover Gateway for complete integration with authentication and gain access to device specifics like actual orientation and resolution to fine tune your user experience, or alternatively, deploy under existing intranet server technologies like IIS/ASP .Net or Apache.

By letting you develop on the platform of your choice, using the tools of your choice, you can focus on the problem, not the tools.

High-quality user experiences

Use any of the common rich-HTML5 frameworks, such as JQuery Mobile or Sencha Touch to deliver cross-platform mobile user interfaces. Even make use of native services, such as camera pictures through the PhoneGap APIs, all managed and deployed through the server. With full control over the UI and the mid-tier, you decide on where to split the logic between client and server side for optimum user experience.

Secure and integrated solutions

Use the tools and the platform you know, integrate with the services you trust. Leverage Active Directory credentials associated with each mobile user to provide secure, centrally managed access to your business information sources.

Automatically benefit from the Rover Apps built-in encryption and compression to increase the speed and security of your transactions.

Build high-fidelity, secure and easy to deploy mobile solutions in just hours or days.
