Software Selection

Mobility software selection depends almost entirely on client need — and both the main approaches carry risk. Off-the-shelf generic systems are fast and affordable, but if they don't deliver what was promised the investment is wasted. Fully customised solutions fit perfectly, but smaller clients often fail to anticipate the development and maintenance cost of being tied to a single developer long-term. ONE9 3NINE evaluates mobility software objectively so the right solution is chosen for the right reasons.

Selection requires a deep understanding of both client financial capability and operational expectations — so the right decision gets made between off-the-shelf, customised, or hybrid approaches. Integration is always required regardless of approach. ONE9 3NINE's role is to technically evaluate the gap between client need and available solutions, and recommend the fit that actually closes it.

Always. Whether the platform is a standard mobile phone or a fully industrialised handset, software is required to connect the device to the service platform and to the user. The software handles data passing from the handset back to head office — where automated actions are triggered based on predetermined scenarios. The right handset software is as important as the right handset itself.
