Cherwell Software has released the Cherwell Mobile for Android, the newest Cherwell Mobile application for its IT service management product suite, Cherwell Service Management (CSM). Cherwell Mobile is a comprehensive mobile solutions family with multiple mobile applications—a mobile browser, the iCherwell native iOS application, and the new high-performance native application for Android. Cherwell Mobile offers mobile access to key IT service management data, dashboards, and business intelligence for nearly all popular smartphones and business tablets.†
“Cherwell’s comprehensive portfolio of mobile solutions, including its new Android app, aligns IT services with business imperatives by facilitating real-time access to both IT and business intelligence, knowledge, and dashboards across a wide variety of device types,” says Robert Young, research manager, client device and IT service management, IDC. “What’s more, the new Android app leverages unique device features such as gesture recognition, barcode scanning, location awareness, and camera integration, enabling a collaborative and interactive service experience that aims to increase productivity for IT staff and business users alike.”
Cherwell Mobile’s new Android app offers mobile dashboards and built-in business intelligence, map view and location awareness, user-configurable mobile alerts, OnDemand Reporting, quick search, camera-oriented features, and barcode scanning. The Android application offers consumerization features such as Gesture Recognition (which allows the app to instantly interpret touch gestures and other common user gestures), Enhanced Voice Search, and Pinboards (which allow customers to create their own pinboards and pin tasks, search results, or other items of interest).
†”We have fully tested Cherwell Mobile for Android and we are presently using its powerful features during our demo. Benefits include the convenience of taking photos on a mobile device and having them appear in few seconds on a desktop. In a recent demo, we attached a picture to a change record and the customer was impressed to see it immediately available on the desktop. The mobile dashboards with drill-down features are really fast, easily visible and easy to use,” says Giovanni Fracasso, CEO of InfoADV, and a Cherwell solutions partner in Italy.
