The presentation will focus on XTNDConnect RPM, a wireless/wired programmable middleware
solution that allows developers to build business rules/server processes in Delphi and C++Builder,
and execute those processes from Palm OS, Pocket PC, and thin Windows applications.
XTNDConnect RPM (Remote Procedure Middleware) is an embedded server that makes mobile and Windows
thin-client application development easy. As a robust, easy-to-use middle-tier
server for Palm OS, Windows and Windows CE applications, it is quite different
from other middleware solutions available today. XTNDConnect RPM is the first
middleware to provide real-time access to enterprise server processes for
mobile devices and Windows clients. Being process centric, XTNDConnect RPM is
not limited to just database functionality. Any process that can be
accomplished programatically at the server can be controlled by the client
application, such as report building, faxing and printing. By leveraging
developers’ existing code, XTNDConnect RPM can easily implement business logic
at the server level. With the straightforward concept of remote procedures, it
provides a robust way to execute server-based processes and receive results
remotely.
With real-time access, critical business decisions may be made in the field and immediate updates may
be made to your enterprise data. As a result, XTNDConnnect RPM minimizes the
limitations associated with mobile applications. In addition to increased
productivity and better access to data, XTNDConnect RPM allows large enterprise
databases to be accessed and processed by a mobile device, therefore allowing
the mobile worker to fully exploit the application anywhere, anytime.
- Provides real-time access to enterprise server processes for mobile and Windows applications
- Supports Palm Computing, Windows, and Windows CE devices
- Lightweight,easy-to-use thin-client architecture
- Native development in MobileBuilder, Code Warrior, Delphi and C++Builder (soon VB and Java)
- Secure, reliable connections; Session SafeGuard and Guaranteed Delivery
- State or stateless connection models
- Native, ODBC, or ADO access to any database server
- Optimized for Mobile Wireless Networks
XTNDConnect RPM is designed to handle connected as well as "connect when necessary"
situations. XTNDConnect RPM provides compression for maximized performance as
well as Session SafeGuard and Guaranteed Delivery for application stability.
Session SafeGuard allows an application to pick up where it left off in the
event a network connection is lost. Guaranteed Delivery ensures that process
results are delivered to the client application. XTNDConnect RPM leverages the
power of the Internet by optimizing the growing availability of wireless
networks. Mobile devices can become critical business appliances and
workstations for real-time access to enterprise server processes. Whether
you’re an independent software vendor developing customized applications, or an
in-house developer extending corporate applications to mobile devices,
XTNDConnect RPM extends your enterprise wherever and whenever it needs to be.
A 10 user version of Advantage Database Server with a value of over $1100 will be
given away along with various other door prizesat this presentation.
