Deep Symbian Experience

Degel is proud to be a Symbian Platinum Partner. We have been programming Symbian OS since the Revo, continuing through to today's exciting Series 60 and UIQ devices. We have built everything from SMS apps to instant messaging to mouse drivers.

• If you want to port your Palm or Pocket PC app to Symbian… Degel can do it!
• If you want to do the undocumented on Symbian… Degel can do it!
• If you want to do the impossible on Symbian… Degel can do it! (Until we did it, everyone "knew" that you cannot add a device driver to the Nokia 9210).

Cross-Target J2ME Development

• "One-touch build" eases development for multiple platforms and locales.
• Custom tools diagnose vendor problems with memory, GC, threading, networking, and SMS. Often, we find vendor bugs before the vendors do.

We have written UI libraries, productivity apps, and networked applications for J2ME. Our code runs on devices from Motorola, Nokia, Siemens, Sharp, and other vendors.

Optimization Expertise

We are experts at profiling and optimization. We can determine your code's hotspots and devise techniques to accelerate performance and reduce memory consumption.

Expert Advice

Sometimes, your engineers just need an occasional hand or a nudge in the right direction. Many of our clients address this need with our expert advisors service, where we offer access to our team of experts and rapid answers to questions like:

• What are the consequences of using multiple views in a Symbian OS application?
• How can I send SMS messages from my J2ME application?
• How can we launch proprietary content from the Series 60 WAP viewer?
• Can we "sniff" IP traffic on a handset?

Components or Libraries

Often, our clients want to retain the bulk of the development process in-house. Degel can still assist with the creation of core components and libraries, supplementing your in-house expertise and supplying critical skills to meet your schedule.

Software Development

Degel's software gurus can undertake the full development of your projects including:

• design and coding
• project management and supervision
• code review and documentation
• software packaging and installation

Prototypes and Demos

If you need a prototype or demo, Degel is the answer. We specialize in rapid prototyping and are independent of your in-house scheduling pressures. We know when to implement each detail and when to just create a quick shell. We understand the importance of fast turnaround and rapid results. We know that the most important part of a successful prototype is leveraging existing tools and techniques.

If you need to create a fast demo or prototype, speak to us first!

Internationalization and Localization

Your applications must be prepared to meet the global market and address a variety of languages and cultures. Degel can assist you with software and the technical aspects of this task. We have completed many projects for the Japanese, American, European, and Israeli markets. Our code is internationalized and localization-ready. We can also guide you to resources that can assist with international marketing and localization.

Project Management

When you outsource a project to us, we can take responsibility for as much of the process as needed. With Degel you can expect:

• timely delivery
• detailed issues tracking
• smooth handover
• technical presentations, as needed, for your internal staff, investors, or customers.

You can rely on us for all the technical portions of your product delivery schedule.
