First annual conference draws global customers and partners from across industries
Schaumburg, Ill., June 16, 2005 – Syclo Mobile Conference – Syclo LLC, a leading mobile software developer, today announced the successful conclusion of its first annual Syclo Mobile Conference. The gathering brought together a diverse representation of Syclo's customer base. Mobile project management professionals from across North America, the United Kingdom and continental Europe joined Syclo associates and partners to share best practices and ideas for driving even greater efficiencies and cost-savings through strategic use of mobile and wireless technologies.
At the two-day conference, presentations covered a host of innovations in enterprise mobility, focusing on the business process improvements and value these technologies can provide. User presentations were given by representatives from Pfizer, BP and Tube Lines (London Underground). Technical sessions were held on multi-system mobile integration, automatic asset identification using RFID and GPS, updates on devices and communication methods, as well as the latest in peripherals, such as portable printers and digital image captures. Panel discussions and open forums covered successful change management and future functionality builds for Syclo's products.
In addition to Syclo users, representatives from Syclo's partners and alliances, including Symbol Technologies, were in attendance. Attendees were given the opportunity to meet and discuss their specific deployments and learn how various devices, services or allied systems could enhance their deployments of Syclo's SMART Mobile Suite, SMARTWorks and Agentry™ product lines.
The real conference star was Syclo's Agentry mobile development platform, at use today by more than 500 companies, including 35% of the Fortune 500. Refined through a decade of development, Agentry is an integrated development environment and mobile deployment platform that employs a powerful 4GL framework, which eliminates code writing and insulates developers from the various complexities typically associated with designing and deploying mobile applications.
With Agentry, 80 percent of the application is already built, allowing the designer to concentrate on the business solution, while the underlying Agentry components handle the technical details. Agentry's technical capabilities include the ability to port a single mobile application to various devices using a variety of communications methods.
"The feedback we received from the attendees, both through written evaluations and informally in discussions, confirmed our belief that the timing was right for a customer conference focused on mobile technologies for asset management and beyond," said Mark Curatolo, Syclo's vice president of marketing. "We have already begun the process of planning the 2006 conference."
