Jumping Beans® integrates field employees, office employees, and servers into a team.
Jumping Beans®' Automatic Provisioning technology makes the unexpected routine. The Jumping
Beans® system automatically provides the right software for the situation at hand - to field employees
on handhelds, office employees on desktops, and unattended servers.
|
The system equips end users as they need it, when they need it, where they need it. Customers make unusual
requests, and businesses are immersed in a rapidly changing environment. Customers and emergencies cannot wait while
you request that your System Administrator install a new application, and and then wait some more until that request is
fulfilled. When an unanticipated situation arises:
-
The home office can send you the appropriate application,
-
You can send the appropriate jumping application to somebody else, or
-
You can acquire the right application,
all in real time.

Field employees are first-class citizens. In the past, a field employee with a handheld or a wireless laptop was relegated
to simple data collection tasks, and could not fully participate in the team. Jumping Beans®
changes that:
-
Remain productive when disconnected. When a jumping application arrives on a mobile host, it is a complete
application, so it does not need a data connection to keep running.
-
Respond to the unexpected. When a customer makes an unexpected request, or any other unusual situation arises,
you can respond to it. Just get the appropriate jumping application from the Management and Security Console, or have
the home office send it to you. You are ready to handle it, just like that.
-
Don't wait on slow connections. Jumping applications execute right on your notebook or handheld, so you no
longer wait for server responses over slow connections.
-
Don't nurse data transfers. When you are working with the data, you are working with it locally. When you
are done, Jumping Beans® will make sure the jumping application gets to the
next person automatically. This is done in a very reliable background process, so you don't have to worry about it.
-
Applications are optimized for small devices. Web applications are very cumbersome on handheld devices.
Jumping applications run locally, and can optimally exploit the UI capabilities of the device you are using. In
addition, Jumping Beans® morphing technology means an application that
runs well on a desktop computer with a large screen also runs well on a handheld with a very limited screen.

|
Easily work with legacy applications. In the past, it was difficult or impossible to work with more than one legacy
application because they were not designed for that purpose. With a jumping application, it has separate interfaces for each
legacy application, and you work with just the jumping application.
