Roambi is a business application that changes raw business data into interactive graphics designed for mobile devices on the iOS platform such as Apple Inc.’s iPhone, iPad and iPad Mini. The applications connect to popular information systems including Excel or Salesforce.com and business intelligence systems such as Cognos and corporate databases such as Microsoft SQL.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.economist.com/node/21531115 )〕 The app is currently used by over 20% of the Fortune 50 and has been downloaded more than 600,000 times. ==Company history== MeLLmo Inc. (makers of Roambi) was founded in 2008 by Santiago Becerra, Jaime Zuluaga, David Becerra, and Quinton Alsbury, based in San Diego, California.〔 The idea for the company came as Santiago Becerra, standing in line to buy his first iPhone in June 2007, realized the business potential of the mobile device. He sought to create a better display for common business data. The goal initially was to create a touch-based data visualization app exclusively for the iPhone. At the time, the App Store was not available to distribute software, so the company found difficulties convincing others of their prospect.〔 In 2008, before Apple released their first iOS Software Development Kit that allowed people to develop native applications for the iPhone, Roambi was already developing a basic app. The company remained in stealth mode until May 2009, when it launched Roambi on the iPhone as a free app.〔 When the iPad was announced in January 2010, Roambi decided to develop a new version of the app for the tablet’s launch. Roambi developed the app to leverage the unique aspects of the iPad, such as the larger screen size, and included new analytic features.〔〔 The app was ready the day the iPad was released in April 2010. In June 2011, MeLLmo released Roambi Flow, an app that allows users to create and present magazine-style publications on the iPad by integrating text with charts and graphs created in Roambi Analytics. In June 2013, MeLLmo released "Roambi Business" a secure cloud-based platform. At the same time, the company launched a North American partner program with more than 20 partners trained and certified to work with Roambi Business to sell the service and provide implementation and development services around the application. The program was designed to increase Roambi's engagement and extend its ability to reach end users. The company previously had over 100 partners outside the United States. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Roambi」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
