Develop and host rich mobile business solutions
quickly and securely

Leverage your investment in Web technologies

Native development is great for games and consumer applications, but most forward-looking enterprises want to use HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript for mobile B2B and B2E solutions. The Rover platform lets you use the Web skills and code you already have to extend your applications to the mobile world.

Create great user experiences on multiple mobile platforms

Toolkits like jQuery Mobile and Sencha Touch, which are fully supported by the Rover platform, help you create great mobile apps with Web technology. You can start by restyling existing Web apps to make them “mobile-ready”, and then move on to mobile-specific workflows and features.

Avoid security issues and connectivity hassles

When you build your application on the Rover platform, you get great security and behind-the-firewall connectivity automatically. Your customers can be up and running in minutes without reconfiguring their networks.

Access to enhanced device capabilities

Usually, mobile Web applications can’t take advantage of device features like the camera, location services, and local storage. But Rover’s business-class secured browser, Rover Retriever, incorporates PhoneGap technology so your HTML5 solution can use all those features and more -- even across platforms, without writing device-native code.

  • Host one or more PhoneGap apps inside Rovers secured container
  • No app-store hassles, just deploy to the Rover Gateway
  • Everyone gets the latest versions instantly

Server-based application deployment

In the past, you had to build and distribute native apps to get these advantages. That means you had to deal with app store approval policies and delays, or go back to the pre-Web days of software distribution and management. With the Rover platform, though, you simply deploy your code to your Web server, or use the Rover Gateway’s built-in ability to run “connectors”. There’s no need to deal with app stores or “push” app updates to users. Rover brings the intranet advantage to full-featured mobile apps.

  • Simple to deploy mobile front-ends to existing systems
  • Give users a menu of mobile ‘apps’ they can use
  • Easily integrate with existing systems
  • Centrally managed and controlled

Secured, managed browser

For all those scenarios where building a mobile-optimized solution is too much effort for infrequently accessed systems or views, you can instantly leverage the power of the secured browser to provide a means of accessing those solutions. Centrally managed and configured, users are carefully guided to the pages they need to access. Learn more
