“By 2014, 90% of organizations will support corporate applications on personal devices.”[source: Gartner 2010] However this market is in its infancy, and organisations trying tosupport a mobile workforce face numerous problems such as how to support the widediversity of mobile devices, dealing with intermittent and unreliable wireless reception, andcommunicating with devices that are frequently powered down or asleep.TJJ Ltd has developed an innovative software platform known as Mercury that is unique insolving all these issues, and which we therefore believe has very wide applicability inconnecting organisations with their mobile staff.Mercury will be of great value to any business or organisation that has a mobile workforce,whether their own staff, or subcontractors or franchisees; for example, maintenance workers,delivery services or healthcare professionals. It provides a highly secure and reliable way ofcommunicating between the enterprise’s regular applications and the mobile devices carriedby its workforce. It also makes it much easier to deploy and manage mobile apps, regardlessof the type of smartphone they are using. Important information gets through faster (evenfrom ‘sleeping’ devices), and business processes can be managed more effectively.Businesses will see a rapid payback from investing in Mercury.Delivered as a 'cloud' service, Mercury is highly scalable, meaning that it can be readily rolledout into international markets from a UK base. The global market is worth perhaps $1bn ormore, so Mercury has the potential to become a large business, employing perhaps 100+people within a few years.A fully working version of the software has already been developed, and is being field tested.This project will undertake market research - to validate and quantify the market opportunity;some market testing – to test the acceptability of the product; and finally produce a businessplan that sets out the ‘go to market’ strategy.

“到2014年，90%的组织将在个人设备上支持企业应用程序。[来源：Gartner 2010]然而，这一市场还处于起步阶段，试图支持移动的员工的组织面临着许多问题，例如如何支持各种各样的移动的设备，处理间歇性和不可靠的无线接收，以及与经常断电或休眠的设备进行通信。TJJ Ltd开发了一种称为Mercury的创新软件平台，该平台在解决所有这些问题方面都是独一无二的。因此，我们相信，Mercury在将组织与其移动的员工联系起来方面具有非常广泛的适用性。Mercury将对拥有移动的员工的任何企业或组织具有巨大的价值，无论是他们自己的员工，还是分包商或特许经营商;例如，维修工人、送货服务或医疗保健专业人员。它提供了企业常规应用程序与员工携带的移动的设备之间高度安全和可靠的通信方式。它还使部署和管理移动的应用程序变得更加容易，而不受他们使用的智能手机类型的影响。重要信息更快地通过（即使是从“休眠”设备），业务流程可以更有效地管理。企业将看到投资Mercury的快速回报。Mercury作为“云”服务交付，具有高度可扩展性，这意味着它可以随时从英国基地推广到国际市场。全球市场价值可能超过10亿美元，因此Mercury有潜力成为一个大型企业，在几年内雇佣100多名员工。该软件的一个完整的工作版本已经开发出来，正在进行现场测试。该项目将进行市场研究-验证和量化市场机会;一些市场测试-测试产品的可接受性;最后制定一个商业计划，列出“走向市场”的战略。
