CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--GeneXus USA CEO Dane Drotts will showcase GeneXus’ mobile technology solutions at the i.c.stars iOpener innovation conference on August 26, 2011.
The theme of the conference is mobility and the cloud, and GeneXus is among the solution providers that will demonstrate products as part of the technology showcase.
The GeneXus Smart Device Generator allows software developers to build an application once, and automatically generate native code for any platform and technology, including iPhone, iPad, BlackBerry, Android, and Windows 7. It enables applications to be developed 75% faster than manually writing code. In addition, GeneXus software includes a unique feature to deploy apps to the cloud automatically.
“With the surge of new devices and tablets, mobile applications have gone from luxury to necessity, and businesses are feeling the pressure to build new apps for multiple platforms, customize apps for specific market segments, and enhance the user experience — and to do it quickly,” Drotts said. “I look forward to showing attendees at i.c.stars’ innovation conference how GeneXus mobile technology simplifies and accelerates application development.”
GeneXus helps businesses innovate every day by embracing mobility and leveraging knowledge-based IT tools across the industry. GeneXus customers include Nestle, Barnes & Noble College Booksellers, Frito Lay, Michelin, Honda, Caterpillar, Colgate and the Democratic Governors Association.
“GeneXus helps companies innovate by rapidly developing and deploying mobile apps, thereby gaining a competitive advantage and stronger market share, something I know is of interest to the companies and individuals involved in i.c.stars,” Drotts said.
“The annual iOpener conference is a great opportunity to network with CIOs and entrepreneurs, gather new ideas for your business, and learn about emerging trends in workforce development,” said Sandee Kastrul, president and co-founder of i.c.stars. “This event will explore how to nurture a ‘culture of innovation,’ and having companies like GeneXus participate in the technology showcase helps bring this concept to life.”
The i.c.stars iOpener conference brings together Chicago-area technology leaders to discuss the global economic forces affecting the local IT workforce and what businesses are doing to stay ahead of an ever-changing industry. i.c.stars identifies, trains, and jump-starts technology careers for Chicago-area low-income young adults who, although lacking access to education and employment, demonstrate extraordinary potential for success in the business world and for impact in their communities.
iOpener sponsors and participants include Accenture, Aon Hewitt, Cars.com, the Chicago Tribune, Dickinson & Associates, Gartner, KPMG, salesforce.com, Symantec and dozens of other organizations.
