Metismo was founded in July 2007 and has its headquarters in Hampshire in the UK. The company’s write once – run anywhere software platform for the development of mobile applications converts Java source code to native source code for different mobile devices.
Business applications are generated easily that run on all common mobile operating systems. This leads to a drastic reduction in development time of mobile apps. Metismo’s technology is used in millions of units sold via Apple AppStore, Google Marketplace, Nokia Ovi, BlackBerry App World & operator portals.
“This is a key technology in enabling the fully Digital Enterprise”, said Software CTO, Wolfram Jost. “This transformation to the Digital Enterprise will be the major business challenge of the next decade. Companies have to react to rapidly changing markets and new market entrants. It is through real-time business information, management and control, from anywhere that they will be able to react fast enough to gain real competitive advantage.”
A perfect example of the structural changes through mobile applications is emerging “mobile payments”, forecast to reach over a trillion dollars in the next three years. The accompanying revolution in payment systems will require new, creative business models from banks, mobile operators and retailers, that must quickly react to changed business rules.
“The combination of Software AG and Metismo will provide enormous value to customers of both companies through a unique process driven approach to mobile application and a unique rapid development approach across multiple devices”, said John Chasey, CEO at Metismo. “I am looking forward to the opportunity both myself and my team will have through Software AG’s
global R&D organization and sales structure”.
