Finland-based Tieto today announced that it has provided consulting services for China Mobile’s online application store called Mobile Market. The delivery includes the technical solution regarding how to encapsulate China Mobile’s network-end capabilities into the Symbian/S60 client-end and a demo that verifies its feasibility. The solution forms a base for China Mobile to further explore the development of its proprietary Software Development Kit.
The deal is a significant opening for Tieto into the Chinese marketplace, and it further strengthens the company’s position as a major services and software partner in the Symbian Foundation.
This project has required a deep understanding of Symbian/S60 UI frameworks and application development, as well as knowledge on a wide range of development techniques, such as Symbian client/server, SDK authentication and network management and data interaction techniques. Tieto is a member of Symbian Foundation .
”Our aim is to introduce new services that will help Chinese enterprises to increase their productivity with advanced usage of IT and R&D innovations. To make this happen, we are increasing substantially our investments in the People’s Republic of China,” says Pekka Viljakainen, head of Tieto International.
