• BlueFinity Integrates MultiValue with Leading Mobile Device Platforms

  (Thursday, March 15, 2012) - BlueFinity International is enhancing its leading mv.NET product to enable applications running on any flavor of MultiValue database to be deployed across any of the wide range of today's interface devices - workstations, tablets, browsers, handhelds, phones and other mobile devices. By building strong working relationships with the leading technology players in the mobile platform arena mv.NET developers can utilize the very best toolsets safe in the knowledge that they are mv.NET and MultiValue compatible. Using mv.NET, it is possible to maximize the return on the investment in an existing MultiValue application and take valuable business logic to new heights by creating powerful mobile solutions that address the evolving needs of users and customers in a timely, comprehensible and affordable manner. "Developers can literally go from design to deployment in a matter of hours," states David Cooper, Lead Developer at BlueFinity. "Because we provide all of the plumbing and framework to support your application creation process, you will save valuable time and money as well as reduce the inherent risks of developing your own framework in getting your application implemented and ready to launch. All of your mobile and .NET needs are embraced in one tool (mv.NET) so if you write an add- on application or generate a new GUI for your existing MultiValue application it's all utilizing a single technology for the key middle-tier." mv.NET allows developers to leverage strong code sharing capabilities against multiple mobile device platforms. Cooper explains, "a key feature that we have been keen to enable through our Mobile Technology partners is that of code sharing. This means the ability to share as much code as possible across the different implementations of the same application on various mobile platforms. This is true irrespective of whether you are developing software in C# or HTML/JavaScript." Native applications can be produced for iPhone/iPad/iPod or Android using a common C# based development environment. Alternatively, browser based applications can be created using ASP.NET, HTML5 that adapt themselves to the appearance of native platform. mv.NET provides the route to fulfil both of these requirements without learning multiple mobile platform skill sets. .NET developers don't even need MultiValue knowledge to produce applications. Organizations can utilize the massive resource pool of .NET developers to boost application development bandwidth and reduce development timescales. mv.NET also supports Windows Phone and Windows 8. "Think of it as Silverlight re-imagined," says Cooper. "Utilize all of your existing Silverlight development skills to create stunning mobile applications for Microsoft's superb new 'Metro' interface for mobile devices. Microsoft provides simply the most comprehensive and productive development environment for mobile application development. Get on board now before the train departs - with a bit of help from BlueFinity of course!"
