Software AG (Frankfurt TecDAX: SOW) has announced the acquisition of UK based Metismo Ltd. Metismo provides an extremely flexible and multi-functional platform for the development of device independent mobile apps. It enables the design and development of applications and automatic transformation into different mobile device formats. In addition, data from mobile devices such as GPS, audio and video can be integrated within in-house business applications. On the one hand, established business processes can react to external mobile information in real-time and on the other, they can be managed and controlled from anywhere. This comprehensive integration will lead to the total 'mobile office', independent of place and time. The availability of process-driven mobile applications is a major step towards the fully, real-time 'digital enterprise'.
