XcelaCloud Mobile Content Management
Mobile apps that provide access to catalogs of content, such as movie clips, retail inventory, location-based data points, user generated content, and customer data need a way to access that content over the Internet. XcelaCloud is the solution that solves the content storage and access problem.
Content typically needs to be managed by people. XcelaCloud can interface with content management systems developed by XcelaMobile, or access and synchronize with content stored in proprietary backend systems using RESTFul web service requests.
Our servers are configured as a private cloud, meaning that the servers and databases that store your proprietary information are dedicated only to your organization. Our data center is SAS70 certified and is designed to be compliant with HIPAA requirements.
Enterprise Ready Mobile Apps
XcelaMobile specializes in business-to-business (B2B) apps, rather than direct to consumer apps. We have the infrastructure and the mobile technology experts who understand the unique needs of our customers.
Our mobile app development process includes competitive research, presentation of use cases, information architecture, mockup design, software development, project management, deployment, and post-development support.
XcelaMobile also works to integrate analytics into the applications that we build. Although we can utilize in-app analytics from providers such as Localytics and Flurry, we also create custom reporting and analytics for specific use cases that require it.
We have experience with Apple iOS, Google Android, RIM BlackBerry, and mobile web technologies such as HTML5. The mobile app space is innovating rapidly. We are keeping an eye on innovations around Windows Mobile, WebOS, and BREW as well.
Game Mechanics & Social Media
Game mechanics and social media are inextricably liked to mobile app technology. We typically integrate social media into the applications we build. An example of such integration is using Facebook, Twitter, and Foursquare to enable a single sign-on process to capture information about your users. Another example is to enable the sharing of your content across your customer’s social networks.
Mobile and social media technologies are inextricably linked. We regularly use social media open APIs to integrate with popular social media platforms, such as Foursquare, Twitter, and Facebook.
Game mechanics could be implemented to drive loyalty and engagement within your applications. XcelaMobile can design a system of levels and rewards when mobile app users complete certain actions. These rewards could then be shared with the user’s social networks, which provide further reach for your brand marketing activities.
Voice & Text Messaging Apps
XcelaMobile can integrate text and voice messaging technologies into the mobile apps that we develop. Text messaging could be used send alerts or reminders set up as features from within mobile apps. XcelaMobile’s capabilities extend to voice messaging apps where upon meeting a certain condition a voice phone call could be made to deliver an automated message.
We can also assist in setting up SMS short codes and developing and managing SMS campaigns.
