The explosion of Applications for Smart devices has had a profound effect on the way customers interact with Mobile Broadband Services. In most cases moving the primary customer interface from the website to the smart device and providing functionality whether online or offline requires a significant change in the way services function across a range of shapes, sizes and operating systems.
Connection Services has worked with a number of leading Service Providers on the design and build of 'apps' that support and enhance the user experience providing information and connectivity that makes the service intuitive to use and manage. Our Application expertise ranges from complete website transfers to Offline Hotspot Finders to Full Connection Managers across the major operating systems.
Existing websites are designed for the layout and screen real estate of a standard browser (i.e. 1024 x 768 pixels), this does not work well with a typical Smartphone screen and particularly when the Smartphone is connected via a 3G rather than a WiFi service and insufficient bandwidth is available particularly when displaying rendered maps. The use of 'Flash' and its replacement with HTML5 content is a case in point.
Connection Services uses the magicSite CMS Framework for content management and service administration. This Connection Services developed content management system allows the efficient and cost-effective implementation of these types of services for customers. It provides for devolved management, allowing the service provider to manage owned content going forward, or devolve controls to their partners so that they can administer limited content.
