Kapow Katalyst:
Mobile Enablement Solutions
Create mobile applications and services from existing web properties 90% faster, without writing code
The ability to give customers and employees anytime, anywhere access to your business is a huge competitive advantage. Employees with mobile access to business apps, for example, are more than 10% more productive than the average employee in general.1 And customers - some 5.3 billion people have mobile subscriptions today - are far ahead of most businesses on the mobility curve, eagerly giving market share to companies that provide the ubiquitous convenience customers now expect.
Many companies, however, are struggling to mobile-enable existing apps. Traditional approaches can take as long as two years and cost millions in in-house resources and external consultants. Too often, bloated budgets, missed deadlines, and excessive disruption lead to the project being abandoned.
With Kapow Mobile Katalyst, you can extend your web properties and business apps to mobile platforms as much as 10x faster and 90% cheaper than with other methods.
The Kapow Difference
The traditional approach to mobile-enablement is similar to enterprise software development. Planning alone can take months. One major bank, for example, required a year to create a 30-page business case for mobile enabling a system for 15,000 sales agents. That was before the re-coding even started. A business has to move faster than that or its business case risks being obsolete before the day it's approved.
Kapow Mobile Katalyst accelerates and simplifies mobile-enablement by eliminating the dependency on APIs. Most web applications, sites and portals do not have APIs - in fact, fewer than .0001 (that's one ten thousandth) of active websites have published APIs. So what does this mean? With traditional methods of mobile-enabling apps you have to wait for an external vendor to provide an API or you bite the bullet and have your IT staff re-write it internally. In contrast, Kapow Mobile Katalyst leverages the user interface of applications it encounters, where all the data and business logic is available to be accessed, extracted, integrated, and made available, via a MEAP or custom built front-end, to mobile users. In short, forget the API. Now you can wrap any app in Kapow Software for delivery to iPhones, iPads, Androids and any other mobile devices, while also ensuring that it's seamlessly integrated with other channels and back-end systems. Go mobile 10x faster and 90% cheaper than ever with Kapow's game-changing approach.
