Kony Press Releases
Full Support for new iPad and iPhone OS Just Days After its Release
ORLANDO – Kony Solutions, the leading mobile enterprise application platform (MEAP) provider, has updated its platform with support for iOS 5.1, the newest version of Apple’s mobile Operating System (OS) for iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch. The company is the first MEAP provider to announce support for the new OS.
“We offer the mobile industry’s most comprehensive Service Level Agreement (SLA) for OS and device updates,” said Sriram Ramanathan, Kony’s CTO. “Our clients include some of the largest enterprises in the world, and it’s critical that we enable them to stay ahead of the flood of new OS’s and devices constantly entering the mobile market.”
“Our applications are running perfectly in iOS 5.1, without the need to rewrite or republish code,” said Jeff Dennes, chief digital officer, Huntington Bank. “We evaluated multiple platforms and Kony’s platform was the only one that allowed us to write applications once and deploy them across all channels and operating systems.”
Kony’s flagship product is its KonyOne mobile enterprise application platform. Kony’s “Write Once, Run Everywhere” technology enables developers to deploy their apps across more than 9,000 mobile smartphones/tablets/kiosks and operating systems from a single code base. Changes and upgrades can then be handled rapidly, without the need for rebuilding or republishing the mobile apps.
Ramanathan continued: “We’re able to offer support this quickly because our dedicated engineering team begins intensive testing and validation with new code the instant it is released to the developer community. We are committed to helping our customers stay ahead of the mobile technology curve, by offering the broadest, deepest, most future-proof platform on the market.”
All Kony applications can be delivered in native and mobile web (HTML5 and non-HTML5), across every mobile channel. Kony’s SLA ensures support for new versions of existing platforms or OS within 30 days of code release, and within 90 days for any new device or OS.
“Kony is one of the most versatile vendors of the new generation of mobile application platform tools,” said Gartner Group analyst Nick Jones. “Kony is very committed to keeping up with the high rate of evolution in the mobile space and provides service-level agreements guaranteeing support for new device and mobile OS releases within a specified period.”
