AUSTIN, Texas–(BUSINESS WIRE)–March 28, 2017–
Kony, Inc., the leading provider of mobile apps for enterprises, today introduced its new Kony AppVantage™ offering to help businesses large and small looking for innovative and cost-effective enterprise-grade apps. With Kony AppVantage, Kony can quickly build custom apps for organizations or customers can choose from a portfolio of existing pre-built packaged apps and components, which offer tailored applications for all types of customers that can quickly be assembled into custom applications.
To stay relevant in today’s digital age, businesses, particularly in the Banking, Healthcare, Energy and Utilities industries, are leveraging mobile applications to keep pace with competitors, or attract and retain customers. Often, they are constrained by lack of time and in-house resources and skills necessary to design and build mobile applications. Now enterprises of all sizes can call upon Kony experts to drive their mobile app projects, including full application development lifecycles – from initial design, through development, to deployment and management. The offering includes hosting, analytics, security, OS upgrades, and ongoing management and support. Kony AppVantage also includes pre-built apps for Retail Banking, Field Services and Employee Self Service that can be extended to fit an organization or industries’ unique needs. For example, Kony offers apps that are specifically tailored for Healthcare facilities management and providers.
“Building a business-critical app can seem like a daunting or even near-impossible task for businesses lacking mobile app development skills or resources. Yet, companies can’t afford to remain analog if they want to stay competitive in today’s rapidly changing digital era,” said Dave Shirk, president of Products, Strategy and Marketing, Kony, Inc. “With Kony AppVantage, we’re able to help businesses – large and small – turn their ideas into innovative applications that deliver the best business outcomes. Powered by our market-leading Kony platform, Kony AppVantage offers pre-built apps and components that can be extended with advanced features, custom-designed apps, world-class user experience, and robust security. This new offering, which costs less than hiring one full-time app developer, also provides flexibility to modify or expand the apps to respond to future enhancement requirements.”
Kony AppVantage also serves the needs of organizations from HR to sales, to marketing and other lines of businesses, to work more efficiently and ultimately meet their business objectives through innovative apps. Kony AppVantage provides secure iOS and Android applications with the most advanced user experiences, across a variety of devices, including tablets, smartphones, Apple Watch, and more.
