TAAP Releases Windows Phone 7 Applications with Azure Integration
BOREHAMWOOD, England, June 11, 2012/PRNewswire/ --
TAAP, the mobile application specialist, has released new mobile applications for
Windows Phone 7, which allow data to be transferred to and from mobile devices and secure
cloud-based Microsoft Azure servers.
The software applications are designed for any Windows Phone 7 handset, which are
typically low cost and high function, and combined with cloud-server technology they
reduce the need for organisations to make large capital outlays for storage technology or
enterprise-orientated devices.
The new crop of mobile software applications from TAAP include: face to face
fundraising, property maintenance/inventory, vehicle inspections, and vehicle deliveries.
These enable users to collect, transfer, and store rich data such as free text,
pre-defined drop-down options, photographs, annotation, diagrams, and electronic
signatures.
TAAP's clients benefit from having access to new applications which have been upgraded
from the Windows Mobile 6.5.3 operating system, and will be able to use new 'iPhone style'
interfaces on a range of devices from hardware manufacturers such as Nokia, Samsung, HTC,
Motorola and so on.
Windows Phone 7 offers a stable platform for applications to run on, which is crucial
if organisations are using it as part of a system to manage business-critical operational
tasks, such as field service visits, deliveries, capturing data etc.
Microsoft Azure is a cloud-based server solution designed so that organisations can
store and access their data via the web. TAAP's applications link seamlessly with Azure to
provide comprehensive systems covering front line mobile operations through to back-office
storage. TAAP provides secure customised web portals which allow organisations to view and
use their data which is accessed from secure servers.
Steve Higgon, Product Architect explained "The combination of Windows Phone 7 devices
loaded with TAAP's mobile software applications, and the Microsoft Azure server
capability, means we can offer clients a relatively inexpensive way to mobilise their
workforce. Clients have the management information that they require to run their
operations efficiently, available in real-time, and they can achieve this with minimal
outlay compared to the purchase of often expensive hardware purchases."
