X2 Computing Announces New Custom Software Development Capability

Online, March 15, 2011 (Newswire.com) - X2 Computing, one of the UK's fastest growing providers of mobile computing solutions, has launched a new custom software development capability. This will enable organisations to extend the investment they have made in existing back office and legacy applications to the new generation of tablet and handheld computers and achieve significant improvements in productivity and efficiency in a wide range of retail, hospitality, mobile workforce and gaming applications.

"This new service has been developed in response to requests from customers to help bring office applications out for use on the shopfloor, on the road, in the boiler room, in the hotel or on the gaming floor where they are most needed most - at the point of service.," commented Francis Davis, CEO of X2. "Adopting the new generation of tablet computers will enable organisations to reduce the reliance on manual paper-based processes and leverage investment in existing back office infrastructures."

X2 works closely in partnership with clients to develop integrated mobile solutions to meet their specific business needs. It provides a complete technical resource from the definition and scoping of system requirements through to the design, development and deployment of complete solutions including hardware and software. This approach has already resulted in a number of successful deployments for well-known organisations including Waitrose.

X2's in-house software team has extensive experience migrating fat finger desktop applications and developing reliable and cost-effective new applications for mobile devices using the latest operating systems, including Windows Embedded, to connect customers, employees, suppliers and business partners. The company provides solutions that are easy to manage and can be uniquely configured for individual locations whilst seamlessly connecting with existing back office IT architectures.

"We are focused on helping smaller companies as well as the relatively smaller mobile operations within larger organisations to mobilise existing software applications using COTS hardware at an affordable cost. Our holistic approach to delivering complete solutions and working with customers every step of the way ensures that we meet their business and operational requirements," concluded Francis Davis.
