iPad Case Study

A cutting edge iPad application

Many of our customers have made use of our iPad development services, and we have developed tons of applications for the iPhone and we are also developing for the iPad platform. Recently we developed a navigation and information tool for iPad users who are customers of our client. Our client needed a web based application that allows their customer to navigate at a trade show and find locations and other critical data. Given that their user community has a number of avid iPad users the client felt that an iPad app would be a great tool for the customer base and would help them differentiate themselves from competitors by offering this high value cutting edge service for their trade show.

The iPad application development project was launched and we worked collaboratively on the specifications so that we would have a document that would clearly guide the iPad development effort. The specifications included not only the data display requirements but also took into account some of the cool iPad features that we could exploit within the app. iPad Software Development is a little different that standard software development as some of the hardware features can suggest things the users would want to see.

A great example of this in this iPad development effort is the main display of data that the user sees can be converted into a graph with great visuals just by rotating the phone to a horizontal display. This is a slick use of the iPad feature and offers different views to the user as they examine their data in different ways.

This iPad software development project had the following components;

• Application on the iPad with the user interface (login credentials, report variables etc..)
• Server side communications to receive the iPad mobile application requests
• SQL scripts to interrogate the database
• iPad development of code to receive the xml posts of data from the server and hand them to the UI

The result was a slick real time application that automatically refreshes data and presents stunning visuals to the user community. The benefit of this real time application is that it allows users on the move to stay in touch with the changing show data which is dynamic and requires frequent data updates. This business function was a great candidate for iPad Mobile Application Development and was extremely well received by the customer base of our client. A great win all around.
