Mobile and tablet apps are at the forefront of new innovation – the hottest concepts, the brightest people, and the savviest of customers are now converging in the mobile app space.
Apps provide a lot of potential for the industry: devices are ultra-personal, always on and always available; most notably people are easily inclined to spend money on and within mobile apps. App platforms support both high class user interfaces and easy integration to back-end systems.
However, there are some important considerations: for instance, the cost and the time-to-market required can pose challenges when developing mobile applications. Furthermore, an application needs to be developed on several mobile platforms separately.
Fortunately, there are solutions to reduce the time and the cost involved. The content-driven application development model discussed in this seminar allows some of the development to take place on the web, thus reducing cost and time spent dramatically in certain cases.
During the breakfast seminar Exove and Exove Design share their knowledge of application design and implementation. Exove’s partner, eZ Systems, shows how to use their eZ Publish CMS to radically reduce costs whilst Futureful and P2S Media Group showcase their iPad applications and related business cases.
We welcome you to enjoy the presentations and to discuss about content-driven application design and implementation.
Please note that the seminar will be held in Finnish. The seminar material will be available in English.

Application concept design
What makes an app great? Application concept design has a lot of similarities to web concept design. But apps also have unique characteristics that make them engaging and powerful. Creating a solid concept plan is the key to launching a successful application.
Aki-Ville Pöykiö, Design Director, Partner, Exove Design Ltd

Content-driven vs. code-driven
With new devices introduced every month on the market, creating and maintaining specific applications for each device can be a nightmare. A good content strategy and a centralization of content in a structured and open Web Content Management system as eZ Publish is a way to avoid those issues.
Bertrand Maugain, Director, International Business Development, eZ Systems Ltd
This presentation will be held in English.
Founded in 1999, eZ Systems is the creator of eZ Publish, the award winning Open Source Web Content Management Platform used by more than 200,000 websites in more than 160 countries. As a company eZ Systems’ focus is on enabling customers to see ROI from our products, by giving them the ability to quickly adapt and adjust their digital offerings whilst helping future proofing their businesses in this ever changing digital landscape.

| 10.30 – 10.50 |
Case: Scoopshot Pro
Scoopshot is a smart combination of business, social media and user generated content. Users of smartphones can download a free application with which they send photos and related information to the Scoopshot service. Media is then able to purchase fresh eyewitness photos from the real-time store.
Scoopshot Pro will extend the service for professional photographers. iPad is an ideal platform for Scoopshot Pro and in the presentation we will elaborate why.
Petri Rahja, COO, P2S Media Group
P2S Media Group develops and markets Scoopshot service.

15.4.2010 — We are extremely happy to announce that we have been working for several months on a very exciting project that brings real-time scoring and social media features to golf. Now the system is live, the iPhone app can be found at the App Store, and golf season is just starting.
Below you’ll find the formal announcement:
Exove has played a central role in Golfgamebook.com concept and visual design, and technical implementation onto Linux, Apache, PHP and MySQL technology platform.
The site concept and layout was designed by Union together with Exove and Free Drop Innovations. The emphasis was on bringing the social features of golf, typically discussed mainly in the clubhouses or privately, to larger audience in the Internet. These features were supported by a number of typical social media features fit to the golf environment – such as online friends, discussions, and sharing golf game results.
The service was built on ExoveIgniter, a framework based on CodeIgniter offering a versatile set of social media features. The system was built in a modular fashion that allows easy extensibility and fast upgrades. Based on the concept and visual designs, Exove implemented the required HTML code and integrated it into the system as Smarty templates.
The most important features of the system are live connections to scorecard appliances, including also an iPhone client developed by Qvik, full features social media services, integrations to key external services, and fluid user experience with strong branding.
The implementation project delivered a turnkey solution for the client in a multi-vendor environment.
The co-founders of Free Drop Innovations Kalle Väinölä and Mikko Manerus describe the result of the development project as follows: “GameBook is unique within golf’s marketplace as the only product that provides real-time electronic scoring for individuals as well as golf clubs. The scope and timetable of required server side development and web-services were extremely challenging, so we knew we have to pick the right partner in order to reach our ambitious goals. Exove did not only succeed in execution, but they also acted as a true partner throughout the project.”
Mikko Rantanen, CEO of Free Drop Innovations, continues: “We set the standard for our web presence and on-line community very high as we knew that in international golf marketplace only the best products and services prevail. The end result speaks for itself and further distances GameBook from its competition. We are in particular extremely proud of our web-based community, the GameBook Clubhouse. It provides players opportunity to connect with one another through a sophisticated and innovative community platform.”
If you are a golfer, please check www.golfgamebook.com and register. The best game just got better.

1.12.2008 — Despite (or due to) the hard times in financials, web related innovative companies are alive and kicking here in Finland.
During this year and especially this autumn, we have helped a number of companies to jumpstart their business by helping them to conceptualise their offer, designing user experience, and implementing the needed systems to actually run the show.
Besides readymade and on-going projects, we are working with a number of other startups that have good and grand ideas for services that will shake certain segments or niches on the markets.
There is happening a lot also outside of Exove, too. Finnish startup scene has been pretty lively for the past year or so.
This all is due to the fact that implementing a web based business has become really cost-effective compared to the old ways of doing software business.
If you are pondering on an idea, consider also discussing with us. Let’s talk.

15.5.2007 — Perinteisesti yksin tai perhepiirissä seurattaviin medioihin, eli käytännössä televisioon ja radioon, voidaan tietyissä tapauksissa yhdistää Internet-palvelu rikastuttamaan käyttökokemusta.
Hyvä esimerkki tällaisesta toiminnasta oli viime viikonlopun Euroviisujen aikainen Jaiku.comin Euroviisu-kanava, jolla televisiosta viisuja seuranneet ihmiset pystyivät jakamaan omia tuntemuksiaan ja kokemuksiaan show’sta.
Normaaliin television katseluun verrattuna Jaiku-kanavallinen katselu oli huomattavasti interaktiivisempi kokemus ja samalla päätyi olemaan osa kansainvälistä viisufanijoukkoa — osallistujia oli useista Euroopan maista.
Vastaavanlainen yhteisöllinen keskustelukanava voisi toimia esimerkiksi tv-sarjojen yhteydessä. Tällöin sarjan fanit pystyisivät jakamaan kokemuksiaan sarjasta ja neuvomaan toisiaan juonikiemuroissa.
Mikä olisi ensimmäinen rohkea tv-kanava kokeilemaan tällaista?

17.2.2007 — Torstaina ilmestyneessä ITViikossa on koko aukeaman artikkeli mobile 2.0:sta ja siinä haastatellaan allekirjoittanutta langattoman viestinnän ja web 2.0 -periaatteiden yhdentymisestä.
Artikkeli kannattaa ehdottomasti lukea, jos tuntee mielenkiintoa web 2.0:a tai langatonta viestintää kohtaan. Tulevaisuus on mitä suuremmissa määrin mielenkiintoinen.
Valitettavasti artikkeli ei ole ilmestynyt ITViikon muuten niin ansiokkaassa webbipalvelussa, joten lukijoiden täytyy joko hankkia lehti käsiinsä tai lukea se digilehtenä. Jälkimmäisessä tapauksessa huomatkaa, että lukuoikeus pitää ostaa ennen ensi torstaita (22.2.), koska sen jälkeen pääsee lukemaan jo seuraavaa lehteä.
Kannattaa myös tutustua artikkelissa mainittuihin palveluihin: jaiku.com ja www.widsets.com.
