Flexible conflict management scenarios
RhoMobile Suite is the only true HTML5 cross-platform development framework on the market that brings together a consumer-style application experience with an enterprise-grade feature set. This complete toolkit includes:
RhoElements Cross-Platform application development made easier
IRhoElements consists of a cross-platform development framework, providing a robust set of development tools that include the runtime client required on any device running a RhoMobile application. Support for SQLite enables the local storage of relational data, enabling offline capabilities for both hybrid and native HTML5 applications. Its robust OS abstraction layers combined with open standard HTML5 technologies enable cross-platform capabilities and remove limitations on user interface design. Built-in application programming interfaces (APIs) for bar code scanning, RFID, signature capture, printing, file transfer, locationing as well as attached peripherals and accessories make it easy to take advantage of all the features that are native to any given mobile device.
RhoStudio Develop, debug and test on a single computer
RhoStudio makes cross-platform application development faster, easier and less expensive than ever before. With this complementary and powerful Eclipse plug-in, not only can you program in one of the most common development environments in the world, RhoStudio’s fully featured simulator allows you to quickly develop, debug and test a cross-platform application on multiple operating systems in seconds on a single computer — just as if it were running on a native platform. Simulation has never been easier — just select the operating system you want to simulate from a dropdown box. Since there is no need to purchase, support and maintain different hardware platforms for testing, the volume and cost of hardware required to develop cross-platform applications is greatly reduced.
RhoConnect Fast and Easy Integration with Backend Business Data
A large percentage of application development is devoted to making the connections to the backend business systems. RhoConnect substantially reduces this effort by creating and managing those connections for you, including tracking data to be synced when offline users obtain a Wi-Fi or cellular connection. You can simultaneously connect your application to many data sources just as easily as you can connect to one data source — including enterprise backend customer relationship management (CRM) and enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems, web services, databases and much more. Data synchronization is completely transparent to users — and since only the data that has changed is synchronized on mobile computers and backend application servers, minimal data is exchanged, protecting application, mobile device and wireless network performance. With the Metadata framework, managing backend changes is a breeze. Even if new fields are added, RhoConnect updates your RhoMobile applications — no programming required. Since RhoConnect is the first mobile integration server to use the modern “NoSQL” approach to data storage, it easily scales to handle any volume of data. Instead of scaling up by purchasing faster servers and more memory, RhoConnect simply scales “out” by storing data in the available space on any company server, anywhere in the world.
