BlackBerry Applications
CiiS is registered as a Partner Company to develop Research in Motion related applications.
Taking advantage from its knowledge of the Java platform, CiiS consequently creates embedded applications for BlackBerry terminals which are highly prized by the professionals.
BlackBerry-embedded applications have some characteristics of their own which are typically specific for this terminal:
- the ergonomics and navigation principles in use should match the BlackBerry users habits and the specifications from Research in Motion;
- depending upon the BlackBerry models concerned, the application can benefit from the capabilities of smart phones (GPS, integrated maps, multimedia capability, …);
- The application should adapt to the large number of terminals in terms of system versions, screen dimensions, interfaces (touchscreens or keyboards, color or B&W). Naturally, all screens developed by our engineers are tested for each model concerned.
- It should be possible to easily deploy the application through a simple download from a phone as well as to massively deploy it onto a corporate BlackBerry fleet through a BlackBerry Enterprise Server.
This version naturally reuses the functions already known by the users of the iPhone version while adapting the ergonomics to the dimensions and to the common BlackBerry interface.
