Former SAP and Oracle executives have launched a venture-funded startup called AnyPresence, offering businesses a unique, 100% cloud-based platform for building HTML5 and native iOS and Android apps without requiring the installation of any development tools or SDKs. The platform also includes a secure cloud-based application server for integration, SMS support, data storage, and other enterprise-class features.
AnyPresence gives businesses the ability to develop and maintain cross-platform mobile apps with minimal costs, while the cloud-based mobile “backend-as-a-service” enables businesses to connect with a variety of data sources.
Mobile best practices and user interface guidelines improve user experience and app store approvals, while user roles, application permissions and data visibility allow businesses to support data access and security policies.
The AnyPresence mobile development platform is currently undergoing beta testing, and will be generally available in April 2012.
