IDV’s Fetch! mobile application will be one of a few select products offered in the Windows Azure Marketplace when it launches later this summer.Fetch! is a mobile app optimized for Windows Phone 7 for on-the-go access to Microsoft’s SharePoint, PerformancePoint, SQL Server, and other enterprise data sources. Fetch! for Windows Azure Marketplace focuses on rapid retrieval of Windows Azure Marketplace content from data providers such as Zillow, Data.gov, the United Nations, and the World Bank. With Fetch! users can query these and other data sources for specific information, and create mashups of content from multiple sources within the Windows Azure Marketplace. <br />With the enterprise version of Fetch!, users can also bring all their organizational data sources to the Fetch! universe. This capability gives users on-the-go access to all their important business information wherever they’re at, whenever they need it. Customer information, market research, scorecards and dashboards, enterprise documents, up-to-the-minute business intelligence data, and more are all available from a single point of access on a user’s mobile device wherever the user happens to be—out in the field, on a plane, in a cab, or even at the beach.<br />quot;
We are so excited to be offering Fetch! through the Windows Azure Marketplace,quot;
explained IDV Solutions CTO Ian Clemens. quot;
The Department of Homeland Security in St. Clair County, Michigan is up and running on Fetch! now, and it’s helping to keep responders from federal, state, local, and even Canadian agencies on the same page.
