Mobile Web Studio

Mobile Web Studio is a Web-based rapid development tool that uses patented technology for creating powerful and interactive mobile Web applications or for mobilizing existing Web applications or data sources like databases, XML, Web Services, HTML, JavaServer Pages (JSPs), and Active Server Pages (ASPs). Mobile Web Studio is a visual development tool with simple-to-use point-and-click functionality.

Mobile Portal Server

Mobile Portal Server delivers Web applications and content in a connected or disconnected environment, coordinating the communication between M-Business Anywhere and legacy back-end systems in an occasionally connected environment. Based on a scalable and distributed architecture, the Mobile Portal Server runs in the J2EE-compliant Web container, such as Tomcat.

M-Business Anywhere

M-Business Anywhere is a reliable, scalable, and secure platform for delivering Web-based applications and content to mobile devices in an occasionally connected model.

Content Capture

Content Capture is a Sybase-patented technology for repurposing Web-based applications and content using an object-oriented scripting language. The Sybase capture engine analyzes Web content and stores the feature definition, or signature. At runtime, the Content Capture engine uses pattern matching to locate the same signature. Therefore, even if content has moved or changed, the engine is still likely to find the information.
