Application Expertise

Our team has practical experience in numerous projects around the world. Some of the areas where we have expertise include:

CRM - the wireless channel brings new opportunities to increase the intimacy of your relationship with your customer. Alatto helps you to understand how to integrate your CRM vision into wireless applications.

Conceptual Designs - Although we specialize in real world applications, we can also provide assistance in creating concept prototypes. These storyboards can often help to create a vision for the future.

Entertainment - Wireless services provide huge potential for entertainment. The proverbial Time Killer is the killer app for wireless. Alatto can help you to design both entertainment only applications as well as integrating other revenue generating propositions within an entertainment context.

Financial - Extending banking to wireless channels is an area where the Alatto team has been an early participant, working with mobile operators entering the financial area. The Alatto team have indepth experience of the financial services industry, from retail to private banking, brokerage and card systems.

Gambling - We have developed successful gambling applications as well as prototypes for next generation technologies. We have extensive experience in the strategy, design, and implementation of gambling applications for Fixed Odds, P2P, betting communities, Lottery and Sweeps. This has included payment mechanisms as well as integration with content. In addition we have developed innovative prototypes that utilize video and animation to enhance the user experience. We have also worked with industry leaders to develop BetML^TM, an XML standard mark-up language for gambling content.

Gaming - Developing interesting game content is only one of the areas where we excel. Incorporating the games into communities as well as including payment mechanisms to capture revenue helps to maximize the value of the games. An alternative that is attractive to many companies is to use games as a marketing tool utilizing prizes as well as other non-monetary rewards.

Location based applications - Integrating location based information into applications is a key differentiator as 3G devices include these capabilities. This area is complex in designing applications that are both robust and non-intrusive. Using location effectively, can enhance most wireless application areas.

M2M - The existing wireless networks have primarily been used for person to person (P2P) or person to machine (P2M) communication. However, Machine to Machine (M2M) communication specifically in the area of Telematics and Telemetry is becoming an important source of revenue generation for service providers. Such applications have mooted for 3rd Generation but in our experience they can be deployed effectively on 2G GSM networks. The car industry has been amongst the first to actively promote these technologies but the ability for cheap bi-directional access to reliable remote sensing data has infinite potential for industry and consumers. Examples include monitoring of vending machines, traffic data, taxi hailing, fleet management and remote security monitoring to name but a few.

Technology & Architecture - Designing a robust architecture that incorporates both existing technologies as well as flexibility to grow is a key factor in designing cost effective platforms for wireless applications.

UI Design - Our team has extensive experience in user interface design and how to create effective device independent interaction paradigms. In addition we can help you map out effective ways to utilize new capabilities provided in 3G handsets.

Wireless Forensics - Our team's unique combination of skills in wireless technology and CRM creates proven ability to analyse activity on wireless networks. This analysis can be used to covertly identify suspicious or potential criminal activity and even predict such activity before it occurs using pattern prediction methods. The wealth of information available (including location identification) has already been effectively used by law enforcement agencies and is increasingly applicable to the corporate environment.
