Orange Business Services Chooses Xamarin to Simplify the Design of Cross-Platform Applications

- Orange Business Services’ partnership
with Xamarin, one of the leading publishers of cross-platform
applications, further reinforces its focus on application
development and design
- Xamarin’s technology frees companies of
many of the constraints associated with application
development
In order to develop applications for all major operating
systems, enterprise companies are relegated to developing the
application multiple times. The Xamarin solution uses the
programming language C# to develop a single application that
functions on all operating systems (iOS, Android, Windows) as well
as all on types of device (computers, smartphones and tablets).
Orange Business Services and its unit specializing in
application development and design, Orange Applications for
Business, has signed this partnership agreement with a view to:
- Reduce costs and accelerate
time-to-market: The technology developed by Xamarin combines up
to 60% of the developing required, thereby reducing overall design
time. Only graphic adaptations are needed to optimize the
application for each device.
- Enhance the user experience:
With cross-platform applications, the user experience is consistent
across all operating systems. The user can begin a task on their
computer in Windows, continue working on it using their tablet in
iOS and finish on an Android mobile device. For instance, a
company’s sales teams can use multi-OS business applications to
access their portfolio of clients or catalogue of products on any
device with the same level of ease. The solution allows to connect
applications to the main CRM solutions on the market. Account
managers can use the application under any circumstances to qualify
or take an order.
- Ensure the sustainability and
accessibility of the applications: The solution allows IT
departments to provide business applications without having to
consider the range of devices used in the company and any future
developments that may be needed. Applications intended for the
general public no longer need to be designed choosing one OS over
all others in order to capture the largest number of potential
users.
“As the use of mobiles and the number of devices increases,
Orange Business Services, through its innovative partnership with
Xamarin, is helping to remove the technological and economic
barriers limiting companies’ application design choices to a single
environment. It also allows them to run digitalization projects
independently of their clients’ and employees’ usage,” explains
Olivier Ondet, Marketing and Strategy Director of Orange
Applications for Business.
“Xamarin is a great choice for modern mobile developers who want
to build successful applications that reach users on every major
platform,” says Erik Polzin, Director of Consulting Partners at
Xamarin. “Orange Business Solutions brings their deep mobile
development expertise together with Xamarin’s proven development
platform to deliver fully native, high performance applications in
an accelerated timeline to clients all over the world.”
With more than 2,500 employees, including 200 specializing in
the development, integration and testing of mobile applications,
Orange Applications for Business is recognized for both its
experience and expertise in these fields, from business to customer
relationship management applications. The applications developed by
Orange Applications for Business have been downloaded more than
20 million times from app stores.
