Centura(R) Software Corp. (Nasdaq:CNTR), a leading global provider of solutions that mobilize the enterprise, today announced that Securicor Information Systems (SIS), a mobile systems integrator, has named Centura's revolutionary eSNAPP 2.0 as its mobile application server of choice. In today's fast-paced business environment, companies that want to maintain a competitive edge must be capable of making split-second decisions. Working with eSNAPP, SIS helps corporations succeed by providing instant access to the most up-to-date enterprise information. The combined solution will deliver cost-effective mobile data solutions, which can quickly and powerfully connect to enterprise systems and existing customer business logic.
Commenting on the contract, Jason Brickell, Technical Director of SIS said: "At SIS we have recognized for some time that the market for mobile IT solutions is changing. eSNAPP enables us to address the requirement for systems that support both on and off-line working. At the same time, we are able to provide those systems to a wider market on the new breed of commodity mobile devices, in contrast to the industry specialized devices that we have been deploying throughout our 15 year history of mobile data solution provision. As airtime revenues diminish, eSNAPP crucially enables us to move up the value chain with our customers and to extend our ASP offerings into new wireless markets. We look forward to forging a long and highly profitable relationship with Centura, not only in the UK, but in the US as well."
SIS is a leader in the field of information technology and communication systems, with a growing reputation for providing complete business solutions to its customers, who include the UK emergency services, local authority and corporate sectors. eSNAPP's combination of a consistent development environment for both Windows CE, Pocket PC and Palm O/S, back-end legacy connectivity options and secure local data storage capabilities, in the form of db.star, will give SIS a huge competitive advantage in its chosen marketplaces. With eSNAPP, SIS will be able to provide its customers with systems that can deploy accurate data to large numbers of mobile operatives in real-time -- making it possible for business-critical information to be accessed securely from remote locations.
The online, server-centric nature of the solution provides access to multiple enterprise applications on the back-end with options for connecting various handheld devices and Information Appliances on the front-end. Its real-time direct access to the enterprise eliminates the risk of duplication and removes the need to maintain dynamic data locally on thousands of devices. As changes to enterprise data are made, they are immediately reflected on all eSNAPP-enabled devices.
"We're very excited about the potential for a long and highly successful relationship with SIS. Their decision to offer mobile enterprise solutions based on eSNAPP exemplifies the power behind this product," said Scott Broomfield, President and CEO of Centura Software. "SIS is a leading mobile systems integrator and as such, this win shows that there is a great potential for eSNAPP to be adopted by similar organizations."
