Persistent Systems has launched SmarTphone Application Mobility Platform (STAMP), a mobility framework for developing mobile applications for Java-enabled phones. The company claims that STAMP framework allows faster mobile application development ensuring optimised performance and consistent user experience.
Persistent further claimed that STAMP will allow mobile ISVs save up to 60% on development efforts, and rapid porting to new devices, allowing developers to cover a wide range of J2ME-based phones and smartphones.
According to the company, STAMP includes broader set of services, technologies and application programming interfaces compared to other platforms. It also includes improved device footprint which covers most of devices in market with a single service to handle a broad array of mobile devices.
Hari Haran, president of Persistent Systems, said: Persistent recognises the need for a framework that would allow mobile application providers to focus on application feature development without having to worry about portability, interoperability, and certification issues and maintenance overheads.
“With Persistent’s innovative and well-tested STAMP framework, mobile application developers and carriers can easily build and deploy applications on an array of devices and systems, enabling providers to get their products to market faster and with higher quality. This kind of breakthrough solution accelerator is a result of Persistent’s nearly two decades of exclusive focus on application development.
Persistent recently launched its first STAMP-based application, ‘StockFolio’ on BlackBerry App World. StockFolio, built on the Java-based platform, earned approval from RIM and is available for download for over 17 BlackBerry models.
