RAMP Secure Mobile Enterprise Solutions

The RAMP platform allows secure cross platform mobile enterprise solutions to be created in a fraction of the time and cost when compared to traditional mobile development approaches. The resulting application instantly runs on hundreds of mobile devices (Blackberry, Nokia, Java Midp 1.0, Java Midp 2.0 etc.) without the developer needing to be concerned with the intricacies of each mobile platform. The massive reduction in time to market and development costs associated with secure mobile enterprise solutions is a source of competitive advantage over companies following the dedicated team approach. 

The RAMP secure mobile enterprise solution can be deployed as a standalone application or as an embedded application within another mobile application. The embedded application approach in itself represents a major opportunity. RAMP is able to embed mobile applications (such as commerce portals, Myspace-like user pages etc.) within mobile applications that can be remotely updated and managed.
 
The RAMP secure mobile enterprise application platform consists of a server that compiles the uxml, css, and scripts generated by the developer via the Eclipse plugin and a set of RAMP virtual machines (VMs) for each mobile device platform. The server compiles the uxml, css, and scripts into a network efficient format and the RAMP VMs pull down this compiled format and adapts the application to each mobile platform. This means that the developer only needs to write a single mobile application that is then able to run on all the supported mobile platforms.

Currently the RAMP platform has VMs for Java Midp 1.0, Java Midp 2.0, Blackberry and Android. The RAMP VMs for iPhone and desktop are currently in development.
