Advantages of RAMP



One Development team for all mobile platforms and devices:


RAMP significant reduces the skill set and team size required for mobile enterprise application development. Development time is reduced to a few months with the required skill-set and team size reduced from several teams with specialist skills to a couple of developers or web designers.

Updates or maintenance of the mobile enterprise application is limited to one development area, instead of several platform specific development areas.


Original application stays relevant on future mobile devices:


Mobile devices from Midp 1.0 onwards are supported on RAMP. A single development effort runs on all supported mobile devices and mobile platforms without the development team having to be concerned with specific device and platform issues. RAMP manages the mobile device fragmentation and addresses all enterprise related issues.
 
As new mobile devices and platforms are released the RAMP platform will be updated to accommodate the devices.

Mobile application security validated by NIST:


All security algorithms supported on the RAMP platform is NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) validated.

Mobile transaction reliability:


The RAMP mobile enterprise application platform allows for a stateful client. This enables the platform to ensure transaction reliability in an unstable network environment. Should connectivity be lost during a mobile transaction the RAMP platform will be able to inform the user whether the transaction was completed or not.

RAMP mobile application size:


RAMP has a fixed JAR size of 63 kB for MIDP 1.0 and 113 kB for MIDP 2.0 devices.This ensures compatibility on a very large mobile device base in both emerging and developed economies. This ensures that the mobile application runs on both feature phones and smart phones.
 

Change Management:

 
Changes made to applications on the RAMP mobile enterprise application platform will automatically reflect when users login to their mobile applications. On login RAMP checks if any updates or changes have been made, if it detects a change the new version is automatically downloaded without the client having to re-download the application.
 
The required changes only have to be made in one location on the RAMP platform for it to reflect on all mobile devices and platforms.
