Creating applications: providing businesses with an effective solution for development In the past, creating applications was expensive and time-consuming, requiring custom development for each application. Apperian’s toolkit builds on the Apple SDK, and focuses on a simple development interface so enterprise users can develop applications quickly and affordably. The toolkit includes the following components: • Authentication – Ensures authentication to the enterprise-specific method, e.g., Active Directory, LDAP, or private database. • Authorization – Ensures that in-house apps are run by currently authorized members of the organization. • Version Checking – Ensures that the app is the correct version, updating the app automatically to the current version if necessary. • App Templates – Ready-to-go apps that can be easily modified by developers to create apps in hours, not days. EASE ships with a video delivery app, document delivery app, and will include additional app templates as they become available. • Push Notification – Allows applications to use Apple’s push notification service with a set of easy-to-use libraries • Reporting & Tracking – Provides reporting on who is using which apps, and also supports popular third-party reporting systems via integration with the Admin dashboard Apperian’s toolkit transforms application development from an expensive, timeconsuming process, to a simple solution offering easy development tools, prepackaged applications and templates for frequently used functions. Apperian also has a custom application development group for companies that need additional personnel resources or expertise. This easy, flexible solution extends the Apple SDK toolkit ideals for enterprise development.
