Why Lightweight application model?

Reduces cost of development

HTML5/CSS/Javascript (jQuery

Mobile) based rendering reduces

the skill-set to develop

applications

Quickly mobilize simple business

processes

Enhances Usability

Fully customisable user interface

makes it intuitive for end-users to

use the application

Supports broad range of devices

iPhone, iPad, BlackBerry,

Android & Windows Mobile

Experiences

Technical platform • SUP server and WorkSpace easy and

quick to install.

• Platform updates are delivered quite fast

• Comes with full development

environment (pretty complex though to

get start with).

• Up to date documentation available.

User interface • On SUP 2.0 the generated UI was quite

buggy but 2.0.1 (and 2.1) brought lots of

fixed and enhancements.

• With jQuery Mobile the UI can be made

surprisingly nice looking. Can be a bit

heavy but you can adjust the level of

enhancements (shadows, gradients etc.)

• Fully customizable

Heterogenous device support • Same workflows delivered and used on

both iPhone4 and Android 2.2 phone.
