JERSEY CITY, N.J., May 22, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Enterprise mobility
specialist, Antenna Software, today announced that Fortum
Corporation, a company that generates, distributes, and sells
electricity and heat, has selected AMPchroma, Antenna's
award-winning mobile app platform as the basis for its mobile
applications.
Fortum will use AMPchroma to build, run, and manage a series of
apps, the first of which is a plant asset management and
maintenance app. The new app will provide additional mobility on
the company's back-end – specifically an IBM Maximo Asset
Management system. Fortum selected AMPchroma primarily because of
its ability to easily integrate with a wide range of multiple
back-end systems through a common integration layer and wide range
of supported mobile devices.
Fortum Corporation is a leading Nordic utility company with more
than 10,000 employees across its B2B and B2C operations in eight
countries. Fortum joins Antenna's roster of customers in the energy
and utilities sector – which includes other global utilities
companies like Carillion Energy Services, Toronto Hydro, and Hydro
One.
"Companies like Fortum are increasingly looking for a
comprehensive, yet flexible platform that enables them to embrace
the mobile channel with confidence, without having to worry about
the myriad challenges of security, integration, and management of
mobile apps," said Jim Hemmer,
president and CEO for Antenna. "In the highly regulated and rugged
business of energy and utilities, companies like Fortum demand an
iron-clad platform that keeps their data and services secure and,
simply put, won't fail or leave them powerless.'"
