A Mobile Platform That Matters

September 26, 2019 7-Minute read

Have you thought about how you want to build mobile apps more efficiently and quickly? Can a Single Unified Enterprise platform that works to – Integrate, Secure, Manage, Build and Deploy mobile applications be your pillar? Is there such a platform that fits across verticals and ties in with the Mobile methodology of B2B and B2C enterprises and yet future proof? A platform called Halosys is where I found answers to the Qs.

At the outset, I would like to say that the enhanced technical competence of the platform is enriched by beneficial features, such as, our US Patented context aware notification rule engine, support for writing custom business logic in multiple languages, batch services for scheduling any operation, audit trail of all actions and transactions etc. These help assess the mechanical aspects of the methodology, when applied to your business.

The platform is simple, extensible enabling quick wins, providing great value of money. To be more explicit, I find it to be so simple that it actually fast tracks the mobile application development process. Secondly, it’s expeditious in terms of time-to-market, percentile standing at 40(%); thirdly, there is a 15-40% reduction in overall cost and 50% cost reduction in app upgrades! Lastly, the platform’s technological crucible carries, “as a service” and on-premise models, supported technologies, such as Android, iOS, Windows, etc., and also uses HTML 5 and cross platforms allowing it to be technologically sound.

You may ask, what is the purpose of an MBaaS platform like Halosys? What difficulties does it eliminate? Purpose is to provide a convenient and consistent way of managing data, which eliminates the need for developers to re-develop the backend for each of the services where the apps require accessibility. The platform decouples frontend from backend development skills – two distinctly different competencies, and focuses predominantly on building the mobile app on a Backend as a Service (MBaaS) platform.

Several organizations can benefit from this platform, where they can build, secure and deploy mobile apps that are within reach and realize savings. Any size organization can reap the benefits of the platform, allowing internal stakeholders to be a part of the app building process.

With respect to integration, existing or legacy technologies can be wrapped In standard models, enabling accessibility to all systems for the client using a common approach, such as, using pre-built connectors to AX, Oracle, SAP and other popular business systems (such as Salesforce) ease the complexity of integration. Similarly, with security – there is role based user management enabled through SAML, LDAP, Oath or custom readily available authentication, where only assigned data to a particular user will be available based on his role.

Lastly, the platform’s ability to dovetail and work across several verticals such as Travel, Retail and Distribution provides them with the flexibility to explore new options for achieving their digital business goals via mobile apps. For a more comprehensive view of our platform, Halosys.
