With more and more people using their mobile phones not only for making phone calls it is important that your organization includes a mobile strategy as part of the way that you reach out to customers. If you are not doing this you are missing an important opportunity. From a personal angle I do nearly all of my “non-essential” internet usage on my mobile device. During waits at the pharmacy or supermarket that is the perfect time for me to catch up on all the stuff that I didn’t have time to get to during my work day.

Ways that Override is currently assisting our client base in reaching out to their customers include SMS (Text Messaging), iPhone / iPad Apps, Droid Apps, Windows Mobile Apps, and finally mobile versions of their web-application.

You may say “But won’t my web-site / web-application render on a mobile device as is?” The answer is yes and no. While a mobile browser will render your site if your site is not optimized for that mobile device users will have a difficult time using the functionality of your web-site and most of the time will leave with the intention of pulling it up on their computer when they get home which almost never happens.

Recently we posted an article on helping our customers leverage their existing .NET codebase and port that over to an iPhone app through the use of Monotouch (iPhone Development with Monotouch). Using the Web Application Toolkit from Microsoft we can similarly leverage your codebase and create a Mobile Version of your web-site which is optimized for individual mobile devices through browser detection.

Contact Us Today and let us assist you with a project plan to leverage your existing codebase and reach out to the Mobileverse.

The Kodak Imagination Show is located at Disney’s EPCOT Center in Florida. This video was created by EXP (http://www.exp.tv) who was the lead contractor and creative force behind this attraction. OverridePro was responsible for producing the software that provides the interface between the Show Control System and the camera, live preview of the guest superimposed over the different backgrounds which include Spaceship Earth, an underwater scene with Nemo, and a scene with Figment.

The programming went on to include programmatic capture of these images on command and transformation as well as storing guest information and transporting the finalized photos to the Kodak Gallery for purchase through an API and notification of guests via email.

The project was a blast and you can stop by and check it out in the Kodak Pavillion of Disney’s EPCOT center on your next visit. The video here that was created by EXP gives you a good idea of how fun the attraction is.

Check out the AMAZING Impact Piece that OverridePro produced for the ISTE2010 Conference.  This piece was used at all keynote sessions in the Wells-Fargo theatre at the Denver Convention Center.  The 10,000+ people who saw this per keynote were only a fraction of the people who saw it live around the world as it streamed live through ISTEVision and was simulcast around the convention center.

Great work to Brian and the rest of the team for making this piece an overwhelming success for both OverridePro and ISTE!

It has been a tremendous pleasure and honor to work with the innovative Putnam for FL Commissioner of Agriculture Campaign. Adam Putnam is currently a U.S. Congressman and is running for this position that is close to his heart.

During the course of the project we have developed the FIRST iPhone app for a Statewide Florida candidate which was covered in the Lakeland Ledger in this article. This is version 1 of this app and the next version has some awesome campaign specific features around the corner. You can download the app by clicking here or learn more about it at www.adamputnam.com.

Additionally we developed text-messaging capabilities for the campaign so non-iPhone users can stay up to date on their mobile devices. This was a custom developed interface that makes signup and distribution a snap. You can signup for text-messaging updates HERE. We look forward to seeing Adam be elected to this office which is so important for the Florida economy and taking it places where it has never been before but has needed to go for a long time. GO ADAM and stay tuned for iPutnam 2.0!

OverridePro had the pleasure of supporting ISTE2010 for the International Society of Technology in Education. This annual conference which has been running for 31 consecutive years now was held in Denver at the Convention Center and hosted 20,000 participants.

Override had the privilege of upgrading their ISTEVision product to bring a higher set of functionality including Live streaming with live Questions and Answers and an advanced Session system that allowed all different type of sessions to utilize ISTEVision as a delivery network.

Override also created a Mac based Kiosk program written in Objective-C that allowed conference participants to record and share their story in a ISTE Storybooth.  You can check out an example of this by clicking here.. This Mac based system was slick and worked great for the conference. As you can see in the video people had fun with it and it was completely automated!

On the multimedia end OverridePro provided ISTE2010 with an Impact Piece which will blow your mind and we will be posting later so stay tuned.  We also provided onsite personnel for the duration of the conference to develop media for the keynote presentations and run them as well as an on-site programmer who handled all last minute requests.

We look forward to working with ISTE in the future on other projects and look forward to ISTE2011 in Philadelphia.
