Object Consulting joins forces with HP on multi-touch
Object Consulting, HP's Application Developer for the new multi-touch LCD
SYDNEY, 30 March, 2010: Object Consulting, one of Australia’s leading enterprise applications companies, today announces it is working with Hewlett-Packard Australia as an Application Developer for HP’s new multi-touch LD4200tm 42-inch widescreen LCD interactive digital signage display.
HP’s commercial grade interactive digital signage display and Object Consulting’s expertise in multi-touch – which includes developing Australia’s first commercial Surface applications, its Microsoft Surface Strategic Partnership, as well as its broader investment in its multi-touch design and development solution – will provide new technology solution opportunities for Australia businesses.
The partnership also positions Object Consulting at the forefront of apps development for multi-touch devices – from Surface through to multi-touch screens, tablets, multi-touch phones such as Windows 7 Phones Series and more – which the company predicts will ignite change in the way Australian enterprises provide information and services to customers.
Kevin Francis, Microsoft Practice Manager at Object Consulting comments that the company’s strategy – outlined at www.touchingthesurface.com.au – is to help enterprises understand how current and next-wave technologies can help them form better customer relationships.
“Multi-touch offers a brilliant opportunity to really engage customers, through apps that are fun to interact with from the customer perspective, while delivering back-office integration that helps enterprises deliver precise, targeted customer service at the moment customers look for it.”
“Object is already working with major enterprises around applications that connect mobile, tablet computing and the wider customer experience. Hewlett-Packard’s multi-touch range establishes an important, new set of options for these customers – and we are delighted to be working with HP to develop applications for their leading multi-touch range,” Francis adds.
Rob Kingston, Product Marketing Manager, Desktop Systems Unit, HP Australia adds, “HP’s multi-touch range – in particular, the dynamic Digital Signage Displays we are launching today – provides a complete business answer for a range of industries that are looking to deliver live information feeds, upload dynamic information and provide engaging interactions with their customers.
“Making the most of these new devices depends on trust and collaboration between HP and business partners such as Object Consulting, whose work will underpin engaging customer interactions.
“With this in mind, HP is pleased to work with new solution providers like Object Consulting which, we believe, will help us give Australian enterprises a strong resource for developing applications that ultimately deliver competitive advantage through engaged customer interactions.”
In the first joint project, Object Consulting has developed a product launch application for the HP LD4200tm 42-inch Digital Signage Display which can be tailored for use in government, media, banking and retail, utilising HP multi-touch devices and Object Consulting’s multi-touch comparison product, Object Compare.
