Compared to “code boilers”, where you design the UI and some application logic and then generate the mobile appliction, the Extransit Mobile Interaction Suite provides a great deal of benefits.
With “code boilers”, new mobile applications have to be distributed and downloaded for every change made. With Extransit Mobile Interaction Suite, the only thing you need to do before the Catch Client mobile application is installed is to define a name of the application and optionally a default host server it should connect to when started. After that, all changes are made server side-only, meaning that all mobile applications always reflect the latest version of your service.
Boiled code means that the mobile application have to communicate directly with remote application servers or web services. This gives a lot of data overhead, and often an extreme amount of unnecessary data over the air. With Extransit mobile interaction suite, remote applications servers and web services are accessed from the Strike Server, which in turn distillers the data so that only meaningful information is transferred to the mobile client. Data is also transferred in a much more compact and mobile network friendly way than the usual XML chunks offered by most web services.
