Couple of weeks ago, we had announced that RapidOSS UI for mobile devices (Mobile IT management comes to town) and presented how RapidOSS mobile support enables users to work with management tools like Netcool and EMC/Smarts from their mobile devices.
Initial support was restricted to iPhone and Android devices. Today I'm happy to announce that RapidOSS web UI works as a read/write user interface on all mobile devices, including Blackberry devices.
We've stripped down some of the fancy javascript and CSS from the UI to enable it work on a much larger set of mobile devices. There may still be incompatibilities with some mobile browsers but based on our tests it works with most current mobile devices.
As I mentioned in the previous post, we've chosen to develop for the web browsers rather than native apps for iPhone and other platforms. This decision has so far paid off as we were able to add support quickly for new platforms (Android, Blackberry, etc.) as well as other mobile devices that have a web browser rather quickly.
Mobile revolution is here. We will continue to push forward in this area towards our objective of making mobile IT management a reality.
If you'd like to try the interface from your mobile, point your browser to the demo on our web site and login with username mobileuser password mobileuser. If you have an iPhone or an Android phone, you can still use the more fancy interface
As always, I'd love to get your feedback. What should we work on next?
