The agile software development approach for cost-effective, customised mobility.
Agile Mobility. Simplified.
Managing software across multiple platforms and operating systems can be complex. Traditionally
organisations manage a diverse range of mobile IT devices, form factors and operating systems,
operating a very siloed approach. Ensuring everything is integrated and kept up to date across all
hardware and software platforms can be costly and time-consuming.
TOUGHBOOK Omnia, is a cost-effective, end-to-end software solution approach from Panasonic,
that can future-proof and greatly speed up custom application development and maintenance
cycles for your mobile business operations.
Through the use of the MCL Platform, development, testing and deployment of customised,
line-of-business software applications is reduced to days or weeks rather than months – much
faster than using a traditional software house or internal native development.
Through industry standard interfacing options, Omnia apps can synchronise with virtually any
back-end systems including SAP, Oracle, BlueYonder (JDA) and many others.
And as it’s a bespoke solution, there are virtually no limitations on how TOUGHBOOK Omnia can
work for your business.
