“Motorola Solutions has designed the RhoElements application development platform in response to the proliferation of multiple devices and multiple operating systems in enterprises. Today, the enterprise decision maker is faced with additional costs to rewrite applications for different operating systems or to line up additional resources for new application development or to port existing ones on to new operating systems. With the RhoElements platform, CIOs can break free from this significant cost every time a new device or a new Operating System is adopted in the enterprise and instead, invest resources in enhancements to the existing applications. Simply put, RhoElements is one application framework for multiple form factors and operating systems, which directly translates to savings.”
