As 2007 draws to a close, we want to thank our customers for making Webalo's first product, the Mobile Dashboard, a great success. It's been an exciting year for us and we plan on making 2008 even more exciting.
In the first part of the year, we will be launching the "appliance" version of the Mobile Dashboard. This will allow companies to host the Mobile Dashboard themselves on a dedicated server within their own data centers. While most of our customers have readily adopted the use of a secure IBM data center to host the Mobile Dashboard, some of our customers have corporate rules or policies in place that prevent them from using an external hosting facility. It is for these customers that we are developing the Mobile Dashboard Appliance. It will operate in the same manner as the current Mobile Dashboard, with the main difference being that the company will host the service rather than IBM, and the service will thus reside behind the corporate firewall.
In 2008 we will also be significantly expanding the Mobile Dashboard service to include other corporate data sources, e.g., backend Web Services applications, Website interfaces to applications, and corporate databases. Please send us an email or give us a call and we'll be happy to brief you on our plans and schedule for 2008.
We wish all our customers, partners, investors and friends a happy holiday season and a joyous 2008.
