“Lutris Technologies Inc., a leading open source enterprise
software and services company, today announced a licensing
agreement with Nokia, the world’s leader in mobile communications,
to simplify and accelerate the creation and deployment of
applications for Nokia’s mobile handsets. This agreement marks the
first time that the application server and development tools for
Nokia’s platform are available in one complete package.”
“Under the terms of the agreement, Lutris Enhydra 3.5, the
company’s Java/XML open source application server will ship with
Nokia’s suite of mobile development tools, including the Nokia WAP
phone emulator, Nokia Activ Server as the WAP server, and the WAP
toolkit. The Nokia Activ Server, the world’s most recognized
WAP server for the corporate market, allows mission-critical
information from a website to be available on mobile devices. The
WAP phone emulator runs in connection with a single user Nokia
Activ Server, thus providing a real-life simulation environment for
Enhydra developers. Developers will have complete access to Nokia
Activ Server functionality, which allows them to check compiled
size of decks and debug WML source by means of a complete WML 1.1
parser with visual error feedback. The combined solution will
significantly reduce the development and deployment cycle of
enterprise WAP applications.”
“New online access methods for the enterprise have gone far
beyond traditional PCs and now include various portable and
handheld devices, including WAP-enabled-handsets,” said Yancy Lind,
president and CEO, Lutris Technologies. “Our agreement with Nokia
makes possible a combined technology offering that creates a
state-of-the-art multi-channel delivery platform to enable mobile
transactions. The result is direct access from WAP handsets, via
the Lutris Enhydra 3.5 application server, to back-end
systems.”
