Refined
through a decade of development, Syclo's Agentry is a
software platform for designing, deploying and managing
the entire lifecycle of mobile projects. Agentry
shortens development times, lowers application
maintenance costs and allows organisations to keep up
with ever-changing mobile standards and technologies to
maximize value and deliver sustained ROI.
Agentry
Editor
The
Agentry Editor allows us to rapidly create and maintain
mobile solutions. With the Editor, we use an object
model to create a central definition and repository of
functions (business logic and business rules) as
required for any given application. With the ability to
access, reuse and edit this library of application
building blocks, development time cycles are shortened
and minimal effort is needed to construct mobile
applications.
Agentry
Server
The
Agentry Server contains all of the communications,
synchronization, security, error handling,
personalisation and transactional controls needed to
successfully deploy, manage and support mobile
solutions. Solution definitions created in the Editor
are versioned and stored in a central repository on the
Agentry Server. The Agentry Server interacts with
Agentry Client applications and works on their behalf to
pull information and post transactions to the enterprise
system(s). Agentry provides for easy, reliable and
scalable composite applications where information from
multiple systems can be incorporated into a single
mobile application.
Agentry
Client
The
Agentry Client is the mobile application that resides
directly on the mobile device. The Agentry Client can
communicate in a variety of modes – online, or using
real-time wireless communications – offline, meaning
data is stored on the device and updated when the user
connect to a network – or in an occasionally connected
mode. The Agentry Client can also be deployed in a
thin-client format, serving as a real-time wireless
browser. In either case, the Agentry Client interprets
the Editor definitions to create and control the user
experience and enforce all business rules and workflow.
Agentry's core benefits include:
-
Fast Mobile Deployments… Agentry's 4GL framework
simplifies designing and deploying mobile
applications by providing built-in functionality,
which allows us to focus less on code writing and
more on defining the application business rules –
resulting in faster implementations and ROI.
-
Agentry Application Templates… These templates
of commonly mobilised functions act as building
blocks that can be rapidly configured and used as a
starting point for custom mobile applications.
-
Open, flexible architecture… Seamlessly extend
all enterprise data (including SQL, Java and XML
sources) to mobile using Agentry.
-
Composite
applications… By integrating a single mobile
application with multiple backend systems, Agentry
applications allow users to access data and post
updates to and from a variety of sources.
-
Extensive peripheral support… Agentry offers
out-of-the-box integration with more than 25
different peripherals such as bar code scanners,
RFID, wireless printers, digital cameras, GPS and
GIS.
-
Exceptional usability and minimal complexity…
Agentry provides countless options for devices and
communications methods. Layout can be customized
for different devices while still maintaining a
single set of business rules.
-
Adaptive Communications… Administrators can push
information to users in the field, as well as set
parameters and priorities to ensure smooth
communications when workers move between networks.
-
Easy to support… Agentry's centrally managed
architecture allows applications updates and
revisions to flow automatically from the server to
devices deployed in the field. Extensive diagnostics
make it easy for administrators to identify and
resolve issues.
-
Lower total cost of ownership… With a single
framework supporting multiple applications, total
cost of ownership remains balanced because updates
are more easily managed and there is a combined
lower level of maintenance and training requirements
for staff.
