OKI Electric has unveiled MoBiz package software product line for the Japanese market, which is a mobile application for companies that use smartphones as business devices.
OKI said, it will initially offer MoBiz platform, a middleware platform for developing and implementing business applications on smartphones, and ‘MoBiz AP for CE Support System’, an application to support the maintenance business and the new application package to operate on MoBiz Platform.
The company said that the MoBiz AP for CE Support System enhances the collaboration with the headquarters and CEs in the field. Customer engineers (CEs) will be equipped with information at customers’ sites and enterprises will be able to reduce the time to introduce a CE support system.
OKI and OKI Customer Adtech, an OKI Group company, have jointly developed ‘@ Smart CE System’, which supports CEs based on MoBiz Platform and ‘MoBiz AP for CE Support System’. In addition, OKI can also assist in customising developer systems for mobile applications that use MoBiz Platform, the company added.
Yuichiro Hiranuma, general manager of system platform centre at OKI, said: “We are excited to announce the middleware packaged product, ‘MoBiz Platform,’ which has been developed jointly by OKI and OKI ACCESS Technologies. Using this product, enterprise users can shorten smartphone application development times and develop and operate low cost mobile applications.
“This is because this middleware overcomes the limits posed by smartphones, such as smaller screens than laptop computers and unstable access to 3G networks compared to LAN. Going forward OKI will continue to offer business solution packages in the ‘MoBiz AP’ series to solve problems for enterprises using mobile devices.
