Hoffman Estates, Ill. – Syclo Inc. has just released its Agentry mobile applications platform with significant new additions and upgrades, including more support for Blackberry and  compatibility with IBM’s DB2 small footprint mobile device relational database.

"Enterprises must look at three factors when considering investment in a mobile platform: the length of the time the deployment will be in production, whether multiple devices must be supported, and the number of enterprise applications,", stated Michael King, Principal Analyst in Gartner's Mobile and Wireless Practice.

With the upgrade, said Richard Padula, Syclo president and CEO, applications already deployed on mobiles, PDAs, and laptops can be easily extended to the BlackBerry Browser, without code writing.

Agentry is an integrated development environment and mobile deployment platform that employs a powerful 4GL framework, which eliminates code writing and insulates developers from the various complexities typically associated with designing and deploying mobile applications.

He said Agentry is the first mobile development platform to generate markup language code and script from the same set of applications definitions, or business logic, used to deploy to occasionally connected devices. This latest feature will enable companies to avoid the costs and risks of an expensive code development project that would only provide support for a single device platform.
