Tao Group Announce Strategic Partnership with Yospace
URL(s): tao-group.com
Partnership Signals Expansion of intent Platform into Enterprise Space
Reading, England, 9th April 2002. Tao Group has announced a strategic
partnership with Yospace to deliver device portable, enterprise mobility
solutions for a variety of connected terminals.
Tao's intent® media platform delivers market-leading performance and
reliability for the execution of compelling multimedia content, including
Java(tm) applications, to the broadest range of handheld operating systems.
Yospace has developed a toolset of Java(tm) 2 Micro Edition technologies
that dramatically compress development times of intelligent client mobility
solutions. YoCOA(tm) ("Yospace Connection Oriented Architecture") enables
rapid Enterprise Application Integration for mobile applications, quickly
taking core data from systems such as SAP and Siebel and making this
available for 'intelligent clients.'
By deploying these technologies on the intent platform, Yospace has quickly
been able to make available to enterprises the benefits of its 'Connected
Intelligent Client' solutions across a range of device operating systems,
including Embedded Linux, iTRON, Symbian OS, PocketPC and PocketPC
Smartphone Edition 2002.
The concept of a 'connected intelligent client' mobility solution is one in
which the end-user benefits from a rich and usable task-specific graphical
interface with access to live enterprise data, and the ability to continue
operation when network coverage is not available. In addition, intelligent
use of wireless bandwidth delivers real cost savings for enterprises
operating 'always-on' mobility solutions.
"Through our partnership with Tao Group, for the first time we can deliver
Java-based client/server applications, capable of running the kind of
premium services required by operators and broadcasters, on a wide variety
of devices in a high performance, reliable and deterministic manner"
comments David Springall, CTO of Yospace.
"We are also able to rapidly develop rich user interfaces using our YoGI(tm)
technology. This allows us to quickly re-factor the design for stylus-driven
and thumb-driven handsets", adds Springall, "by running on the intent®
platform YoGI has access to a wealth of media technologies including full
international font support and some advanced graphics capabilities that you
would never have thought possible on smaller devices."
Francis Charig, Chief Executive of Tao Group comments, "This announcement
clearly shows the continued ability of the intent platform to attract
best-of-breed technologies. It is important for us to be working with
innovative companies such as Yospace that are able to exploit the potential
of our platform and to enhance that platform further through the delivery of
network-aware mobility solutions."
