Irvine, CA - April 20, 2015 - A new mobile application that gives instant access to conference information will be available to the attendees of this year's COMMON Annual Meeting and Exposition.
The conference, which will be held this year at the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, CA, on April 26-29, is the largest IBM i user group meeting of its kind. With over 400 sessions, open labs and workshops, and more than 100 presenters speaking on topics that range from modernization to security, it can be challenging to connect the conference-goers with the content they are looking for.
"We're proud of the enormous amount of educational options available at the Annual Meeting, and in this mobile world, our attendees want access to that information instantly so that they can get the most out of their conference experience," states Manzoor Siddiqui, COMMON's Interim Executive Director. "The COMMON mobile app meets the attendees' needs by literally putting the conference information at their fingertips, and goes with them everywhere throughout the event."
COMMON partnered with Profound Logic Software to create the mobile application named "COMMON UG". The development team, comprised of David Russo and Antonio Ruballos, used the Profound UI Suite's Visual Designer and integrated mobile application tools, along with PhoneGap, to create the application. This is the same method Profound Logic customers can use to quickly and easily create native mobile interfaces for their IBM i applications.
The COMMON UG Mobile Application puts information about the conference sessions, schedules, and venue at the attendees' fingertips.
The COMMON application will give users the abilities to:
"We would like to thank the folks at COMMON for giving us the opportunity to partner with them on this application - especially COMMON's IT Manager, Fred Pritchard, for his hard work on the project," says Profound Logic Senior Developer David Russo. "We look forward to an ongoing partnership with COMMON and continuous enhancements to the mobile application over many events to come."
COMMON event attendees can download the COMMON UG mobile application at www.common.org/onsite and from the iTunes and Google Play stores.
