i3M

i3M

i3M is a multimedia engineering company specialized in training solutions dedicated to Aerospace, Defense, Industry and Health sectors with highly technical contents. Thirty employees are currently working in Toulouse. From the beginning in 1996, the company was dedicated to educative CD-Roms and graphic design. But very quickly, as the company listened to its customer needs, its activities extended to multimedia services and solutions for the industry.

Need

i3M called on our services for the whitelabelling development of a satellites sales support tool (web back office and cross-platform front office) for one of its customer.

Solution

As i3M requested a cross-platform application (PC, Mac, Tablets), we advised an hybrid development, building most of the application on web technologies (HTLM5/CSS3/Javascript) and integrating this Web app to a native application through a WebView component. The final result is a standard application which is distributed, installed and executed like any other application. To be in line with this approach, we have based its development on the Open Source frameworks Apache Cordova (for touchpads) and Node-Webkit (for PC and Mac).

The back office has been fully built using Play framework and HTLM5/CSS3 technologies. Play is a productive Java framework which allows the creation of web management applications. The communication between the client application (tablet or PC/Mac) and the back office has been implemented with REST Web Services (JSON) on HTTP transportation protocol.

Wapp6 (Conject Group)

Wapp6

Wapp6, a Conject Group company, is a software editor providing solutions for the Infrastructure Lifecycle Management. The company offers a wide range of cloud based solutions, ressources and skills, adapted to all construction projects.

Need

Being able to capture, organise, distribute and track all project defects among participants throughout the project lifecycle is key in the construction industry. Eliminating defects lead to ensure on-time and quality-assured project delivery as well as cost control.

So getting a collaborative defects and inspections management tool for construction and facilities management was mandatory. Thanks to touch-screen tablets, it is possible to digitize those tasks and increase productivity.

Solution

We have developed a mobile application dedicated to look after the processing steps to complete an inspection.

The application was implemented by leveraging the Titanium framework, using its ability to target the two main mobile operating systems, iOS and Android with the same codebase. Moreover, both versions provide high performance native rendering. The application is designed upon a disconnected paradigm where the user downloads all the necessary information (plans, existing defects, punchlists…) for his inspection and then works onsite without being dependent on the network. After the visit, a report can be generated and sent instantly.

MIPIH

Mipih

As a leader in software publising for Hospital Information Systems, MIPIH is also strongly present on services and outsourcing activities.

Need

In march 2012, the “MIPIH days” were dedicated to the social and ethical issues of the digital hospital. For this special occasion, MIPIH wanted to present an iPad application prototype, interoperable with its product back-end (ERP). Touch-screen technologies and their ecosystem were new universes for MIPIH and its Product R&D team.
Therefore, MIPIH called upon our expertise to assist on the prototype production and the following skill transfer.

Solution

We developed an iPad application for the consultation of medical acts referential for the MPIH, one of the biggest public structure specialized in health sector.

The application benefits from a statistical module, a local database (SQLite) replicated from an Oracle database. Furthermore, the referential is historically recorded, so the doctor can precisely know the applicable legislation during its medical acts.

At the technical level, the application is built around a UISplitView and data are accessible through the API Core Data which is the iOS’s ORM (Object-Relational Mapping). Special efforts were made on the framework settings to reach the ambitious targeted performance goals : a perfectly fluid navigation and an instant multi-criteria search.

Need

In order to reach the largest possible audience and to truly stand out from their emerging competitors, TableOnline had to be available on Android smartphones too and therefore chosen to benefit from our expertise.

Solution

We developed for TableOnline a mobile application for restaurant booking thanks to the native Android SDK platforms. In addition, restaurant owners benefit from a web interface to manage customer requests, seating plans…

Need

One of Cegedim’s major american client, performing business consulting for its customers (hospitals, clinics, laboratories), wanted to start a paper free approach for its audit procedures, using touch-screen pad. Midiway, a Cegedim Group company, requested our expertise and reactivity for the realization of this solution (tactile application and back office).

Solution

As the application should be cross-platform, we advised an hybrid development, building most of the application using web technologies (HTML5, CSS3, Javascript) and integrate this web app to a native application through the WebView component. The final result is a standard application distributing, settling  and executing like any other one.  To ensure the best implementation of an application with this approach, we based its development on the PhoneGap Open Source frameworks.

Concerning the back office, we performed its first test using the Play framework. Play is a productive Java framework which enables to develop web management application with Java.  Communication between the touchpad app and the back office has been implemented in REST (JSON) Web Services on the HTTP protocol.

Webinage has eight collaborators. Its headquarters and Sales department are in Neufchâtel-Hardelot, whereas its technical department is in Toulouse.

Need

At the beginning of our collaboration in July 2010, Webinage was looking for a true technological partner to conceive the architecture and develop the first version of Webinage software, mainly dedicated to elderly and disabled persons homecare. The complexity was high at several levels : architecture choice (front-end / back-end, face-to-face, VoIP, video & audio acquisition…), ergonomics (senior target), technologies used by the customer at the dawn of HTML5 and touchpads emergence.
