** SUPER Hot News **

Appeon Announces General Availability of Appeon Mobile

Hong Kong - May 3, 2013 – Appeon® Corporation today announced the general availability of Appeon Mobile, the first cross-OS native-technology MEAP (mobile enterprise application platform) for SAP developers.  Appeon Mobile works with most SAP technology infrastructure products, including SAP PowerBuilder, NetWeaver, Afaria, SQL Anywhere, Adaptive Server Enterprise, IQ and HANA.  Unlike typical MEAP, Appeon Mobile is powered by native technology that delivers the best performance, memory management, application features, and user interface.  Appeon Mobile is also the first MEAP to deliver new multi-tasking user interface paradigm that empowers users to work with multiple screens of a single application in an intuitive and familiar manner. “SAP PowerBuilder is the easiest and most productive IDE I have ever laid eyes on,” said Armeen Mazda, CEO, Appeon Corporation.  “We chose to leverage PowerBuilder for the design-time of Appeon Mobile so we could truly make building mobile apps a piece of cake.  This allowed us to focus our engineering efforts on the performance and features.  Our early adopters confirm that Appeon Mobile is superior in performance and features to popular mobile frameworks, such as Titanium, Phone Gap, and Sencha.”  Appeon Mobile enables SAP developers to rapidly build mobile applications with the PowerBuilder IDE.  Existing programming skills as well as existing code and DataWindows can be leveraged.  Now mobile applications can be built in just weeks instead of months using one development tool for all popular mobile platforms: iOS, Android, and Windows Phone.   Appeon Mobile Features From the PowerBuilder IDE, Appeon Mobile generates native mobile applications that deploy universally to all supported mobile platforms. DataWindows, nested reports, and many rich PowerBuilder functionalities previously unimaginable on mobile devices can be at the users’ fingertips. These rich mobile applications are database-driven, powered by either a Java or .NET middleware and is compatible with leading commercial databases, including SAP, Oracle, IBM, and Microsoft. Server-side integration is also supported with native Java or .NET technology. Powerful Desktop-like Apps – Develop powerful data-driven business apps with virtually the same level of functionality as traditional desktop applications, plus take advantage of mobile functionality, such as GPS, camera, microphone, etc. Codeless UI Resizing – Adapt applications, quickly and easily, to display properly on any mobile device without having to modify any code or perform any calculations. Multitasking User Interface – Take advantage of the highly productive MDI multitasking user interface on mobile devices, which is uniquely offered in a familiar yet touch optimized manner. Cross-OS Native Mobile – Deploy a SINGLE code set as native mobile apps to leading mobile OS (iOS, Android, Windows Phone), even if using the mobile device SDK (camera, GPS, printer, etc.). Always Up-to-Date – Keep apps automatically up-to-date (including on iOS) without any additional client software or user intervention. Cross-platform Server – Deploy to either leading Java or .NET application servers as well as leading public clouds powered by Amazon, Microsoft, VMWare or Rackspace.   Availability & Pricing Appeon Mobile is now available for purchase from Appeon Corporation and authorized Appeon distributors and partners worldwide.  Development licenses are available at a cost of $850us / developer.  Production server licenses depend on the # of users, and can be as low as $20us / user.  The license fees are one-time and an unlimited number of applications can be deployed to the server. Appeon Corporation is offering a special worldwide promotion for a limited time.  Customers that purchase Appeon Mobile before June 30, 2013 will be entitled to a 30% discount.  OEM partnership is also available for qualified software vendors.  Please check with Appeon Corporation or authorized Appeon partners to receive a price quote.
