Adesso Systems previews v3 of its mobile middleware

Boston, & Orlando, April 11, 2005 -- (MobileVillage) -- Adesso Systems has announced version 3 of its Instant Mobility Platform, which allows enterprises to extend applications and information to mobile workers.

Adesso Version 3 adds the integration of external plug-ins and .NET components into Adesso-based applications, allowing customers to build applications that map to their specific business processes. The new version also adds new file synchronization, user interface personalization, Oracle database support, interactive reporting and instant surveys.

The most significant improvement in Adesso Version 3 is the Extension Manager, which allows developers and power users to extend their applications with components created using other development tools. This plug-in capability allows customers to supplement Adesso applications with custom-coded components from external programs via .NET libraries. New features can be integrated and extended to mobile devices without disrupting end-user activities or requiring re-installation of the application on a user's handheld, according to Adesso.

For example, using the Extension Manager, an organization in the healthcare industry whose data is subject to strict regulatory standards could employ a business rules engine created outside of Adesso to validate data capture by a field worker according to regulations. As the user collects and submits the data necessary to complete a task, the data is actually processed by the rules engine, and any error messages are passed back to the Adesso client and transparently presented to the user through the Adesso application interface.

The new File Synchronization feature applies Adesso's synchronization, security policy management, routing and back office integration to folders and files for mobile workers. Documents, spreadsheets, presentation, audio and video files can be distributed, managed and integrated.

The new Adesso Survey Engine aims to help customers configure and distribute surveys via an easy-to-use development wizard with advanced branching logic, enabling surveys to be built for one-or-more data collection applications or incorporated into existing applications as a part of a customer service interaction. The Interactive Reporting feature helps sort and analyze data so that companies can gain additional insight into their business process functions and aids in future business decisions.

Version 3 also improves on the user interface and navigation. For example, users can navigate through an application in a user ‘homepage’ format linking individual or work teams to their most important activities. Administrators can also embed bitmap images and other graphical elements into applications and distribute them to any combination of PDA, laptop, tablet or desktop PC without re-factoring for screen real estate, according to Adesso.

Version 3 of the Adesso Instant Mobility Platform is expected to be available in the second quarter of 2005. To learn more about the platform or company, see the Adesso Systems web site or the company's summary page on MobileVillage.
