AT&T, IBM Team to Build Efficient Enterprise Mobile Apps

June 05, 2013 |
ORLANDO, Fla. -- IBM (NYSE: IBM) and AT&T (NYSE:T) today announced they are working together to help businesses develop more network-efficient mobile apps. The new integration of AT&T and IBM technology enables enterprises to conduct comprehensive testing and analysis of their apps' network and battery usage on mobile devices, and quickly make necessary changes; creating higher-quality, better performing mobile apps.

For the first time, IBM clients will be able to determine how their enterprise mobile app is performing on any wireless network, and then rapidly improve performance through development tools. The integration of AT&T’s Application Resource Optimizer (ARO) with IBM’s software development solution for Collaborative Lifecycle Management (CLM) expands the development capabilities of the IBM MobileFirst strategy.

“ARO tackles a fundamental coding challenge developers face today – finding and fixing performance and power bottlenecks that detract from a great user experience,” said Carlton Hill, vice president –Developer Services, AT&T. “ARO can help developers create apps that conserve battery life, load pages faster and consume network resources in a smarter way, all of which improve the customer experience.”
