Rhomobile Releases First Universal Mobile Application Integration Server for Enterprise Smartphones and Tablets

SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Rhomobile (www.rhomobile.com), the leader in next generation enterprise mobility, today announced availability of RhoConnect 3.0, the first universal mobile application integration server that delivers instant integration from any data source, using any mobile development framework, to any smartphone or tablet, anywhere and at any time. The latest offering includes “out of the box” source adapters for leading CRM systems and “server plug-ins” for enabling integration with custom J2EE, .NET, and Rails applications. RhoConnect 3.0 also includes the new ability to leverage RhoConnect with any mobile development framework, including Objective-C, Java, and JavaScript. With RhoConnect 3.0, customers can mobilize their enterprise applications using fewer resources and more quickly than ever before.

“The promise of simple, flexible, and scalable integration and offline sync across multiple devices is now here”

Like the rest of the Rhomobile product family, RhoConnect is engineered to meet the most stringent enterprise requirements for performance, flexibility, and most importantly, security. Available as a cloud service or as on-premises software, RhoConnect 3.0 dramatically simplifies and shortens the development and testing cycles for mobile enterprise applications. Customer feedback suggests that data and application integration represents between 30% and 70% of the effort for mobile development projects.

“The promise of simple, flexible, and scalable integration and offline sync across multiple devices is now here,” said Kris Peters, head of development for Solid Innovation®. “With RhoConnect, we no longer need to write sync code to connect to any of our enterprise data and applications. We now have the flexibility and performance to deliver mobile app capabilities to all of our clients with both online and offline operation with dramatically fewer resources -- saving as much as 50% of our overall effort.”

RhoConnect 3.0 delivers a host of next-generation capabilities to deliver better mobile applications and eliminate complex and error-prone coding:

Out of the box source adapters for leading CRM applications: SalesForce, SugarCRM, Oracle CRM On Demand and Microsoft Dynamics, allowing instant integration with these CRM apps
New “server plugins” that install in back-end Java, .NET and Ruby on Rails applications, allowing instant synchronization simply by connecting to the RhoConnect server
Ability to use RhoConnect 3.0 from other development frameworks or SDK’s, including Objective-C for iOS, Android and BlackBerry Java, and JavaScript for use with other JavaScript-based smartphone frameworks
First mobile integration server to use native smartphone push (Apple iPhone, Android and BlackBerry Push API’s) to populate data to devices transparently without polling
First integration server to use a NoSQL database (Redis) to achieve the highest scalability and performance of any mobile synchronization technology
No compromise deployment either “in-the-cloud” or “on-premises” to meet often competing needs for flexibility and compliance

“The market demand for B2B, B2E, and even some B2C apps is raising the bar for development shops to address mobile application and data integration,” said Adam Blum, CEO of Rhomobile. “We designed RhoConnect to help developers overcome the incredible challenges dealing with multiple data sources and platforms, and the complexities of coding to meet both enterprise requirements and end-user demands. Customers and partners are telling us RhoConnect 3.0 is the answer.”

Available today, RhoConnect 3.0 is licensed annually on a per device basis and with enterprise-class support.
