CASE STUDY
IBM Mobile First

Company Background

Puredata has focused on providing PowerSchool support to K-12 schools and Pearson ISV partners. After realizing the power of data in decision making and increased demand for assessing student learning they created a complete model to help schools simplify blended learning and create a data-driven environment.

Business Need

Puredata Needed to build, run and manage a range of applications for students and employees within an aggressive timeframe. However, the organization had certain challenges, including a need for cross-platform development as well as integration with back-end systems such as SAP, and an existing mobile device management infrastructure. Puredata needed to offer these applications on tablets and smartphones across five platforms – iOS, Android, Blackberry, Windows 10 and Adobe.

Solution

After lots of evaluations, Hubcom decided that the IBM MobileFirst solution seems to fit best with client’s environment and its needs. Using the IBM MobileFirst platform foundation tools, the organization can develop and deploy hybrid HTML5 applications to deliver content across multiple mobile platforms.

Benefits

• The IBM solution helps reduce the cost of development by as much as 60 percent when creating for five platforms.
• Now they are able to deliver exceptional apps in weeks instead of months.
