Consorteum
Holdings has put together a remarkable mix of mobile technologies, partnerships
and licensing agreements, placing the company at the forefront of a variety of
potential solution development markets like mobile compliance gaming,
e-commerce/banking, mobile healthcare, and mobile government. At the core of it
all is a thin-client architecture and proprietary UMI (Universal Mobile
Interface) which hurdle two fundamental obstacles in the world of mobile
computing: device-specific processing limitations and the need to
maintain/update client-side versioning. Of course, the UMI also makes it easier
for customers to deliver rich content to the user’s device without having to
jump through all the time-sink and complexity issue hoops that crop up when you
are developing for a standalone execution.
The UMI,
developed by CSRH’s wholly-owned subsidiary, ThreeFiftyNine Inc. (359), is a
marvel of universalized content delivery, as it is able to simply take whatever
content the customer has designed, identify the user’s mobile device and then
render everything in the appropriate display format. This allows developers to
code once and publish everywhere, rather than trying to laboriously recode the
application to meet device-specific requirements, a process which otherwise
must also be done every time they want to push a new version to clients.
This
capability is especially useful in the mobile gaming market, which is on-track
to reach from $22B to $26B globally within the next two years alone. One of the
keys to attracting gamers and keeping them engaged with a given product is
feature-rich content and gorgeous graphics. A difficult task to execute
effectively on its own, this task is made all the more difficult if costly
development uptime is taken away from core content and spent coding for various
device specifications. The UMI allows developers to focus on making the game
they want and making it look/feel great, instead of trying to make sure that
their vision isn’t ruined by device-specific limitations or an inability to
execute the crucial user interface elements effectively on a given set of
devices.
The
thin-client architecture, which uses a remote server and cloud computing
framework to alleviate the heavy computational lifting otherwise required to be
performed on the user’s device, also gives developers considerable breathing
room to create powerful applications with high-resolution graphics, without
slowing down the user’s device inordinately or placing a given application out
of the reach of older devices. A Thin Client Server platform like the one
employed by CSRH’s platform also allows for improved security, presenting
developers with a pipelining solution that makes the platform ideal for mobile
compliance gaming. Fully leveraging the power of a hybrid application format,
which uses a web app combined with a native client wrapper, Thin Client Server
applications have the power to transform the world of real money mobile gambling.
The company’s platform is one of a select few cleared by the gold standard in
regulatory gaming, the Nevada Gaming Board, and opens up the world of sports
and horse betting as well as casino games like keno and video blackjack to a
vast, growing market of mobile users.
This same
platform capability allows for some compelling opportunities in the world of
mobile healthcare and mobile government as well, two other areas where security
and the ability to deliver feature-rich content in real-time (without a ton of
updating hassle) are paramount. Take mobile healthcare for instance, a world
where health record data security is of increasing concern, what with HIPAA
(Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) data breaches reaching
record numbers. Office for Civil Rights (OCR) reportage at the recent OCR/NIST
Conference on Safeguarding Health Information indicated that, this year alone
there have been nearly 12M health data record breaches (according to Health and
Human Services), including the record-breaking 4.5M Community Health Systems
(CHS) breach in August.
Addresses,
birth dates, names, social security and telephone numbers were all stolen in
the breach at CHS, the second largest for-profit healthcare hospital system in
the U.S. as of last year. Needless to say there is massive demand that is
simply not being met for a more comprehensive approach to securing such data. A
combination of shrewd encryption and mobile platforms, like the one offered by
CSRH, could go a long ways towards addressing the problem.
The same
concerns and platform benefits exist in the world of mobile government
computing, where a combination of huge paperwork volumes (even larger than in
healthcare in some cases), diverse logistics, a strong need for security and a
persistent lack of accessibility, have created a perfect storm of
opportunities. Moreover, the UMI platform’s sophisticated geo-location and
geo-fencing capabilities, already proven in the world of compliance gaming,
offers a ready means to create true logistical situational awareness for
government entities, mapping personnel and equipment from all over the globe in
real-time.
