Story: SYWARE Customers Upgrading to new businessMobile 360 Suite to be First in line to Take Advantage of Deployment Management Tool
The businessMobile 360 Suite will establish a platform that will allow SYWARE to provide powerful, enterprise-class offerings, including SYWARE’s Deployment Management Tool. Enterprises have hundreds of employees using myriad of devices and applications, yet they are not attuned to how mobile workers in the field customize individual applications to suit specific uses. If a Pocket PC goes down, IT departments can’t always restore the customized applications and forms as they don’t have a view into a user’s device. The Deployment Management Tool will enable IT staff to view disparate versions of applications and forms each user employs for their mobile needs-- allowing companies to: backup, recover and restore mobile applications and forms; understand which devices are running what versions of software and what devices are deployed in the field.
