Motorola Solutions’ RhoMobile Suite to Support Johnson Controls’ North American Service Mobility Strategy
26 Febbraio 2013 - 2:00PM
Business Wire
Motorola Solutions, Inc. (NYSE: MSI) today announced that
Johnson Controls, a global leader in delivering solutions that
increase energy efficiency in buildings, is using Motorola’s
award-winning RhoMobile Suite to create a highly flexible, mobile
work environment and make cross-platform application development
easier.
The RhoMobile Suite is the only true HTML 5 cross-platform
development framework on the market that brings together a
consumer-style application experience with an enterprise-grade
feature set. You get the freedom to choose the device that will
best serve each job or even bring your own, since one application
version runs on many operating systems (OS) and types of devices.
By leveraging RhoConnect and RhoElements, part of the RhoMobile
Suite, Johnson Controls enables its field service workers to use
its mobile applications anywhere, anytime.
As new OS versions become relevant for their various
applications, Johnson Controls will be able to quickly add support
for a new OS or device without having to change the underlying
business logic.
Johnson Controls has one of the largest technical service
organizations in North America. Its workforce is trained and
equipped to deliver increased energy efficiency, lower operating
costs and provide improved operations in buildings. The new
mobility enhancements will improve the customer experience by
streamlining the flow of information delivered to technicians, such
as service history and asset information. The portable, connected
devices provide technicians with an advantage by giving them access
to a growing list of applications, such as technical documentation
and Global Positioning System (GPS) route optimization apps.
KEY FACTS
- RhoConnect provides simplified
integration with backend systems including Siebel Field Service –
an essential requirement in Johnson Controls’ adoption, which
reduced direct coding by more than 40 percent, saving the company
both time and money.
- RhoElements provides a set of
Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) that allow you to easily
incorporate any function present on any mobile device into your
applications – regardless of whether that function is native to the
device or provided through an add-on accessory.
- RhoMobile applications are OS-agnostic
and able to support current and future enterprise- and
consumer-class operating systems including Microsoft Windows®
Embedded Handheld, Microsoft Windows® Embedded Compact, Microsoft
Windows® Phone 7 and 8 Series, Apple® iOS, Android® and
BlackBerry®.
- RhoConnect connects smartphones with a
company's enterprise data systems and allows for application data
to be synchronized over a Wi-Fi or cellular connection for use
while offline.
- The RhoElements 2.2 and RhoConnect 3.4
releases included support for building desktop ("Big Windows") and
iOS 6 apps, advanced security with public-key infrastructure
encryption, expanded device capabilities and advanced bundled push
notification service.
