It’s proven in digital workplace, fieldwork, crowd-sourcing and other public facing applications.

The flexible configuration environment knows how to handle spatial data and can be integrated into other core systems. Couple that with the ability to manage rich content, configure data collection forms, add artificial intelligence, workflow, and chat collaboration, and you have the ideal environment for quick, mobile ready business solutions.

• Collaboration is key to many workflows. Apps can now be extended with team chat — allowing information to be discussed.

• Personal Assistants can be added to apps that allow specialists, supervisors and chat-bots to support the user.

• Speech-to-form feature adds support for accessibility and ease of data entry, even when the user is unable to touch their mobile device.

Easily use and add to location information when mobile — online or offline.

The simple, intelligent way to increase consumptionOperationalise Location Intelligence. Traditionally, geographic insight was the domain of specialists using dedicated tools. More recently, significant progress has been made in publishing location insights for non-specialist consumption. Rarely does this take the reverse approach, an outside-in approach, where you start with the user journey and pull and expand on the geographic information. Business problems rarely start with Location Intelligence, but being able to bring in location-based insight often provides valuable decision support.

Tackle the digital backlog. Whether your organisation is a small local authority or a multi- national business, the march to digital is relentless. Whether it’s for digital engagement or a digital workplace, that growing digital demand can be constrained by an expensive (and likely stretched) digital team. This gap between digital demand and supply can be resolved through a ‘no code’ approach where less technically skilled people can configure their own solutions.

Self-service saves money. Customer satisfaction will greatly improve when you provide 24/7/365 access to information and services. What’s more, you’ll eliminate the need for extra shifts in your call centre. By enabling more and more transactions through a mobile app, you’ll also eliminate the extra time and expense costs necessary to build and maintain native apps. Plus, you’ll reap the benefits of lower call volumes.

Any place, right time.Users shouldn’t need to feel constrained by the device they are using. Any application that you create in this day and age should be available online and offline and be accessible by the same user from any type of computer, tablet or mobile device. When the same application is configured once — but available both in a browser and as an app — you get the best of everything.

Expected ROIThe ‘no code’ approach can reduce the burden on digital teams by allowing less technical users to develop and maintain apps. In some organisations you may even take a citizen developer approach to empower business users to create apps themselves. This means cheaper and faster digital solutions.

The deployment mechanism avoids the need for native app builds and separate App Store approvals — new use cases are deployed into an established environment. This further reduces the risk and need for extensive testing and compatibility checks.

Digital solutions that integrate and extend the reach of back office systems promote more informed and timely decision making and better cross-organisational coordination.

Improve community engagement and customer satisfaction through innovative App based services. Offering self-service and crowd-sourcing applications allows data to be collected digitally and avoids costly phone calls.

Customer Service: Self-service applications allow people to engage in their own time. This results in a reduction in call traffic and frees consultants to focus their time on areas of priority.

Interoperability through the open architecture can integrate data and systems into the mobile applications, giving a new digital life to old or complex systems and avoiding the need to replace.
