Building for a Multi-Channel Mobile World

Because of device fragmentation and proliferation, development is often the most resource intensive and costly part of the mobile lifecycle.

ampchroma buildYou are not developing just native apps any more; you need to consider HTML5 apps, hybrid apps, and web apps. And you need to build these apps not just for smartphones, but also tablets, IP-TVs, kiosks and even feature phones. Up to this point, building apps and sites for a multi-channel mobile world means greater costs, complexity and time to market.

Up until now a myriad of developers with deep and specialized skill sets have been required. Additionally, app refreshes and support for new devices typically demand significant technical resource for rewriting of the existing app. Many folks are turning to free app development tools that make app creation look easy but make the harder parts of building and integrating an app for the enterprise a real headache.

Build with AMPchroma™

Some development tools claim a write-once-run-anywhere approach. However, these tools are often “Jack-of-all trades, and master of none”—leaving you with apps and sites that run across multiple devices, but that don’t look compelling on any one of them. In addition, many of the rapid app development tools on the market today make prototyping easy but leave the enterprise exposed - the apps might look good, but aren't enterprise ready, secure, or portable across all device types. With AMPchroma, you have the tools to easily create rich content apps, complex business automation apps, and every kind of app in between. Developers can even add offline synchronization capabilities - including guaranteed transaction delivery and auditing - ensuring that apps run no matter what. 

AMPchroma lets you choose your weapon: native, web or HTML5, it’s your choice. Development can be done using a no-code WYSIWYG editor in AMP Builder or with an Eclipse-based tool in AMP Studio using HTML extensions. And AMPchroma enables developers to build enterprise-grade apps that are portable across all platforms using widely available HTML5, Javascript, and CSS skill sets, without having to recode them for different hardware or software platforms. All apps are built to run across multiple device platforms and can leverage an extensive library of pre-built AMP UI controls, third-party UI control libraries, or controls that developers can build themselves and share with colleagues. AMPchroma is also equipped with integrated testing tools that enable developers to incorporate on-demand or automatic testing into the development lifecycle of their app, rather than having to install separate device-specific testing tools or simulators. Building on AMPchroma provides you with the most powerful and flexible tools to do the job right, and at a lower cost.
