Tiivistelmä
Every year more and more mobile devices appear in the market. The demand for useful and easy to use mobile applications is growing fast. Businesses more often use mobile applications as a promotional tool and also as a mean to gain customer’s trust. This means that the demand for rapid mobile application development will increase accordingly since it is not easy to keep up with such demand for the applications.
The main goal of the thesis project is to develop a cross-platform mobile application for an existing web application that provides contract management services. The application has to work on Windows and Android platforms by sharing as much code as possible using the latest technologies. The iOS platform is out of the thesis scope. The study also focuses on the Xamarin platform and reasons out whether it is a good choice for fast development of native mobile applications. Its key advantages over other mobile development frameworks are specified.
The actual work on the thesis project started in October 2014 and ended in February 2015. The Rapid Application Development method was used to achieve the project goals the as well as the author’s personal programming skills and knowledge.
The thesis results in working Android and Windows phone mobile applications. The applications will allow users to have access to the web-based contract management system via their mobile phones which makes contract browsing, viewing, sharing and searching much faster, therefore improving customer experience.
