LEGO ARCHITECTURE BEST-IN-CLASS SOLUTIONS

Our Approach.We build apps on top of enterprise platforms used by large companies to power, protect and grow their business. Taptera creates and delivers elegant, functional and secure business apps to make data accessible across business functions in mobile micro moments.

Each app we create starts with TapKit. It is the underlying framework that provides authentication, theming, and the security infrastructure within all our apps. TapKit enables us to streamline app builds, create top-tier security processes, and ensure every app is easily scalable.

ENTERPRISE SYSTEM INTEGRATIONThe Mobile Optimization Engine (MOE) is the heart of Taptera’s product offering. It lies at the intersection of the app, the Admin Console, and your enterprise system. The MOE translates slow, complex data from your enterprise systems and optimizes it so that it works seamlessly over the cellular network.

SCALABLE, SECURE, & FAST

Taptera’s proprietary mobile product architecture is designed to be flexible and easily scale with the enterprise. The lego-inspired architecture enables us to quickly integrate with legacy and current enterprise technology.

Custom Solutions.Taptera offers custom applications for brands and enterprises that are looking for a fully-unique mobile experience. Taptera also offers consulting services to share our experience in mobile enterprise strategy and development. Each custom solution is built using an agile development cycle with key phases outlined below:

• Project Discovery• Strategy Planning and Implementation• Mobile UX/UI Experience• Mobile Design• Engineering & Architecture• Development• Quality Assurance• Maintenance

Featured Custom Solution: CrescendoCrescendo Bioscience is a diagnostic laboratory that had been using an existing application to present sales collateral to customers. However, this solution required content to be hard-coded into the app – leaving Crescendo repeatedly going back to the vendor each time new collateral was created. This challenge affected workflow, created inefficiencies and frustration among users.

Understanding the problem and the user’s needs, Taptera focused on Crescendo’s requirements to drive an innovative approach to solve their problem. The result is a content viewer that is integrated with their Box instance. Users love the marriage of simplicity, deep branding and function that is useful in their sales flow process.

Crescendo is available for custom-solutions for medium to large-scale organizations who need a better way to access, view, and (in the future) edit their documents.

“Taptera’s elegant, agile and streamlined approach to mobile application design and development weighed heavily in our decision-making process. Our core business values were also in strong alignment with Taptera’s including consistently meeting customer needs, the overall ROI of our products and services, the ease of working together and the impact our products and services have on other businesses’ bottom lines. With this common ground we are confident in our choice as we have had a long-standing respect for the approach to mobility held by Taptera’s executives as well,”

Featured Clients.

“Mobile apps are essential tools for a sales person to be more productive. Businesses that aren't providing mobile solutions for their salesforce are going to find themselves losing ground to faster moving, more forward thinking competitors. Sophia from Taptera is a great example of an application that delivers a competitive edge to its users. With Sophia, salespeople can cut the time it takes to update an opportunity within the Salesforce system via voice-to-CRM capabilities. By cutting down time spent on the business critical act of maintaining proper records salespeople can increase the time spent selling."

Paolo BergamoSr. Director, Project Management
