Appeon Mobile

** Hot News **

Novalys and Appeon announce partnership
 to distribute Appeon Mobile worldwide!

    Novalys SAS announced on March 7, 2012 that it has entered into a strategic partnership with Appeon Corporation to distribute the first-ever mobility solution for the PowerBuilder community. Leveraging Appeon’s over a decade of experience in PowerBuilder web deployment and its core technology platform, Appeon is developing a mobile deployment solution for PowerBuilder – Appeon Mobile. Appeon Mobile will offer the simplest, fastest, and lowest-cost mobile development option for the PowerBuilder developer community. Under the agreement, Novalys will market, sell, and support Appeon Mobile worldwide.

   In response to growing demand from the PowerBuilder community for mobility, Appeon Mobile will enable developers to rapidly build mobile applications exclusively with the PowerBuilder and using existing programming skills. This empowers developers to leverage their existing investments in PowerBuilder and the unbeatable productivity that PowerBuilder offers. Now mobile applications can be built in just weeks instead of months using one development tool for the iOS and Android based mobile devices.

  "Appeon Mobile is really exciting for PowerBuilder; it allows developers to meet evolving business needs, as mobility becomes a necessity” said Christophe Dufourmantelle, CEO of Novalys. "Now, PowerBuilder developers can build data-driven enterprise apps without the productivity loss and headaches inherent to using standalone tools like Xcode."

   From the PowerBuilder IDE, Appeon Mobile will automatically generate native mobile applications that deploy universally to all supported mobile devices, including iPhones, iPads, Android phones and tablets. DataWindows, nested reports, and many rich PowerBuilder functionalities previously unimaginable on mobile devices will be at users’ fingertips. These rich mobile applications are database-driven, powered by either a Java or .NET middleware that is compatible with leading commercial databases, including Sybase, Microsoft, Oracle, and IBM. Server-side integration is also supported with Java, .NET, Web Services and/or Sybase Unwired Platform (SUP).

    "Novalys is the best source of PowerBuilder companion products, offering high-value-add solutions, such as VisualExpert, VisualGuard, and Customization Studio," said Armeen Mazda, CEO of Appeon. "Appeon is excited to have Novalys as our PowerBuilder mobility partner.".
