"Combining location-based services and instant messaging is an exciting evolution in IM however
presents a new set of problems in terms of usability and scalability," said DataNaut President
Mark Snuffin. "DataNaut provides our client a significant advantage in that we can draw upon our
extensive experience in Instant Messaging and Geographical Information Systems to
address these problems," added Snuffin.
"Another challenge is on the client. Creating an application that runs on any modern browser and provides an
engaging user experience without downloads or long wait times is difficult.
DataNaut's value-add here is that we understand the process and technologies needed to build rich internet
applications. This requires expertise in DHTML, CSS, XML, JavaScript and Ajax and also in testing procedures
that catch problems before software is released to the public," added Snuffin.
Under the contract DataNaut will provide the following services -
-
High-performance clustered instant messaging service
-
Flexible architecture to support Interoperability with all major IM platforms including GTalk, MSN, AIM, ICQ and Yahoo
-
Web-based client using latest browser technologies for mapping and visualization
-
