Up, Up and Away with Mobility

Delta Air Lines get a lift using SUP

Last week I started a series of eight articles following my experience with the Sybase UnWired Platform (SUP) and specifically developing for iOS. SUP is a Mobile Enterprise Application platform (MEAP) which eases the complexity for deploying multiple applications to multiple platforms and from multiple back-end systems.

If you follow my articles, you will already know that I am sold on the idea, but was happy to see an article on Baseline.com from Samuel Greengard entitled Managing Mobility in the Enterprise, which profiles Delta Air Lines mobile initiatives

Basically it states that Mobility is key to Delta's effort to streamline the flying experience and SUP powers Delta's mobile check-in and e-boarding pass.  Check out the article here

Please check back weekly on a Friday for the next article in my SUP and iOS series and please follow me on Twitter @ithain
