Enterprise Mobility and mobile application development using Microsoft Technologies are an integral part of our expertise stack. For over a decade now, we have helped businesses keep up with developments on the Windows mobile front. We have helped them leverage and benefit from mobility starting with the early stage .NET mobile web SDK, the later stage .NET compact framework and right down to the latest innovation from Microsoft – the Windows Phone 7. We have leveraged our relationship with Microsoft to help our customers protect their existing investments while they adopt the next mobile paradigm from Microsoft.

Windows Phone 7
As an early adopter of Windows Phone, we have already delivered rich and engaging enterprise software applications running Windows Phone. Our past experience on Silverlight, .NET framework and the XNA framework, along with access to best practices and tools from Microsoft keeps us well placed to leverage all the features and innovations provided by Microsoft on this platform.
We use wide range of technologies in Windows Mobile development such as:
- Windows Mobile versions, Windows Mobile 6.5 SDK, Pocket PC 2000 , and Windows Mobile 2003 for Pocket PC SDK
- MS.NET compact Framework (NETCF) 2.0
- IMAPI (Emails and SMS)
- Web services
- SQL Lite
- Windows Media Player for Audio and Video
- Exchange ActiveSync® within Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 supported
Our expertise in designing and architecting secure, reliable and high performance business applications extends to Windows Phone 7 as well. Our expert architects understand the constraints and capabilities of the platform and target devices, and design an application for you mindful of the following factors:
- UI design and style guidelines
- User experience considerations
- Storage considerations
- Connectivity considerations
- Security considerations
- Data formats and accessing remote services
- Resource management and performance
Sybase Unwired Platform & Afaria
If you are looking to leveraging a Enterprise Mobile Application Platform (MEAP) for building cross-device applications including Windows 7 devices, we can help you leverage Sybase Unwired Platform (SUP). Additionally we can help you implement Afaria, a mobility management solution for centrally managing, securing and deploying mobile data, applications and devices.
The .NET Compact Framework & ASP.NET Mobile Controls
We develop browser based applications targeted for mobile devices using the .NET compact framework and ASP.NET mobile controls. We help enterprises with business applications currently on the Microsoft.NET platform extend their software for usage on mobile devices using the .NET compact framework and ASP.NET mobile controls. Likewise, for any new product development if we foresee its extension on mobile platform, we architect such applications smartly enough to be later extended onto mobile platform. As an example, while developing a new product, the libraries will be carefully designed and abstracted from the presentation layer in a way that the presentation layer can later be extended for mobile platform and yet use the same business logic in the developed libraries.
Security experts for designing secure mobile applications
We stand out in our expertise in developing secure web based applications. We follow the "secure by design" approach, following OWASP guidelines and secure coding practices throughout the development process. We have extended this approach to mobile application development, designing business applications that can store, process and output sensitive information without the risk of being compromised.
Using the Model-View-View-Model for Windows Phone 7 development
Adopting the MVVM pattern is a good approach for structuring Windows Phone 7 applications. This is because MVVM lends itself naturally to Silverlight applications, making it easier to leverage specific capabilities of Silverlight such as data binding, commands and behavior.
Developing Windows mobile business applications to function in limited/no network coverage area
Mobile applications must be designed to function in a limited or no network coverage area. These applications should be smart enough to store data locally and connect to the remote server once the phone is in coverage area to complete the transactions. However, since there is limited amount of storage available on the phone, a well designed mobile application should leverage this small storage space efficiently to store information locally and be proactive about removing unused data.
