Emrys Solutions, Inc. today announced Emrys Visions 1.1(TM), enterprise software that manages different devices across multiple platforms and protocols and allows the real-time sharing of applications and information between the enterprise and mobile devices.
Emrys Visions 1.1 is unique in its ability to distribute existing application functionality to a variety of devices, connected in a variety of ways. It overcomes many common problems associated with mobile computing, such as bandwidth constraints, device display size and color limitations, device user interface form factor, stateless connections, and browser / micro-browser limitations.
Device support includes computing devices connected to a corporate LAN, Intranet or Internet, such as Palm OS(TM) and Windows CE(TM) based Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs) and mobile telephones using Wireless Application Protocol (WAP).
Emrys Visions 1.1 further opens the enterprise by including support for ActiveX Data Objects (ADO) and Component Object Model (COM). Support for ADO allows access to industry leading database management systems, including Oracle. COM allows for more efficient application development, programming language independence, and re-usability of code. Additional form-factors (Palm, HP Jornada, Pocket PC) are available.
