View a video to see how developers can use Visual Studio 2012 and iFactr to create enterprise mobile applications that run on any device and integrate with back-end data, from a single .NET code base.

Because iFactr is an extension of Visual Studio 2012, developers can create and deliver cross-platform mobile applications easily, without the large learning curve involved with a new development language or platform-specific nuances. Organizations with significant Microsoft application development investments can leverage code, infrastructure and technical expertise to quickly deliver state-of-the-art mobile applications, fully integrated with back-end data and systems.

Forward-thinking enterprises are exploring ways to empower employees, business partners and customers with innovative mobile applications. With iFactr, these organizations can develop apps designed to run on the wide variety of devices individuals already have. Ultimately, it's the Microsoft ecosystem and the foundation of Visual Studio 2012 and .NET that makes all of this possible.

“We are happy to be working with ITR Mobility to extend the value of Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 into the wave of new applications that span today’s modern mobile platforms,” said Tom Lindeman, director, VSIP program, Microsoft. “Fully integrated with Visual Studio 2012, the iFactr framework enables developers to leverage existing C# .NET code and emerging development trends to build cross-platform applications that drive valuable usage scenarios for today’s increasingly mobile workforce.”

“Microsoft offers us broader opportunities to share the iFactr framework with developers, and iFactr gives Microsoft the ability to tell a very impactful cross-platform story to enterprise customers,” said Nathan Clevenger, CTO, ITR Mobility. “If I had to describe Visual Studio in one word, it would be ‘ubiquitous.’ Visual Studio is everywhere, and with Visual Studio 2012 and iFactr, mobile applications can run everywhere too.”
