Innovation, Research & Development
In the fast growing market of tablet computers, BlackBerry PlayBook has proven to be the ideal tablet for corporate users who constantly find themselves on the move. Customising tablets for corporate use prove to be a challenge as there are worries around security, user experience/expectations, deadlines and available expertise around custom apps for enterprise.
As part of our Innovation, Research & Development effort, Formicary Collaboration Group has been working in partnership with companies such as Aviva and The Royal Bank of Scotland on pioneering corporate PlayBook apps.
Since the pre-launch of BlackBerry PlayBook, FCG has successfully deliver the RBSM Marketplace app, which provides RBS’ global financial clients with ‘customised to end user’ access to research and strategy information and Aviva SOLAR, an app to digitise the risk assessment process for Aviva’s 150 risk advisers.
“…It brings improved workload management to our advisers, faster resolution times to our customers and higher calibre reporting for our underwriters. Additionally, the sophistication of the app is raising our customers’ perception of Aviva...”
