Customer implementation process - quick an easy

  1. The customer signs the MobileServant agreement.
  2. The customer configures their firewall to communicate with the MobileServant server.
  3. Net Servant delivers the administrator username and password to customer.
  4. The customer's administrator adds users to the MobileServant service and sends the configuration as OTA to the end-users' phones.

Case Net Servant

Net Servant Oy's core business is to host customers' business application, so it was natural to extend this service to hosting a mobile middleware solution. Net Servant chose Waplane and built the MobileServant concept to meet the needs of service providers.

MobileServant is a mobile middleware solution whose core is the Waplane technology. MobileServant includes the PIM functionality and a RAD for mobilization of business applications out-of-the-box.

The MobileServant service implementation project was done in less than one week. Fast implementation was enabled because Net Servant already had the RAS and WAP gateways in place.

Most of the MobileServant customers start with the PIM functionality but quickly continue to mobilizing business applications.
