The addition of the Cloudscape database to the AGEA MobileSDK will provide a complete development environment for developers to build and test enterprise wireless applications on the AGEA MobileWORKS application development platform. With AGEA MobileSDK and Cloudscape, businesses can easily deploy their existing corporate applications at a minimal development cost, without rewriting them for mobile uses. Designing a mobile application from scratch is a very lengthy, expensive approach to enterprise application development. The combination of the AGEA MobileSDK and the Cloudscape database now make it possible for a business to download the AGEA mobile software toolkit, to create fully functional applications for mobile devices from their existing corporate applications. "Our relationship with AGEA signifies our collaborative and strategic approach toward addressing the special needs that enterprise developers face when managing their data, and intelligently extending their standard applications to new mobile devices," said Ian Schmidt, vice president of the Cloudscape business unit.
