Pendragon Software, a leading provider of database software for Palm OS(r) handheld devices, today announced the launch of its Pendragon Internet Forms software.
Pendragon Internet Forms is a Web-based development platform for building database applications for Palm OS(r) handheld devices. Based on the company's highly successful Pendragon Forms development tool, the new platform enables users to design, deploy and manage mobile database applications via a Web browser. The Pendragon Internet Forms platform delivers new levels of productivity, scalability and security for information workers with the need to share mobile information.
The software is so easy to use that end-users can build basic forms themselves. Typical applications for the software include surveys, inspections, work orders, scientific research, patient tracking and asset management. Users of the software will benefit from improved data collection accuracy and from savings in time and effort associated with traditional re-keying of handwritten documents.
An integrated synchronization server enables secure synchronization to Palm OS handheld devices over wireless TCP/IP connections, as well as from remotely connected desktop and laptop computers. Pendragon Internet Forms applications are also accessible via micro-browsers on other mobile platforms.
A New Mobile ASP
In addition to selling server software, Pendragon Software will host customer applications on its own servers as a mobile Application Service Provider (ASP) for a low monthly fee. This service is ideal for small organizations that need to collect and manage data from mobile workers.
The modularity of the system makes the Pendragon Internet Forms Server perfect for building mobile ASP's. In anticipation of the strong demand for such systems, Pendragon Software will offer a partnership program for vertical market Internet sites that will benefit from an integrated mobile data collection application.
"Pendragon Internet Forms represents a new paradigm in mobile application development," said Ivan Phillips, CEO of Pendragon Software Corporation. "The new development platform takes the pain out of development and deployment, and simultaneously builds mobile and Web-based solutions."
Pendragon Internet Forms server is priced at $4995 for a 100-user license. The Pendragon Internet Forms hosting service starts at $50 per month plus $10 per month per user.
