Kony Solutions, which provides a Write Once, Run Everywhere mobile platform that enables Fortune 500 companies to offer consumers feature-rich mobile applications in less time and at lower costs than any other solution available, has been selected to demonstrate at The Travel Innovation Summit, taking place at the PhoCusWright Conference (November 16-18, 2010 in Phoenix, Ariz., USA).

In recent years, mobile technology has become an essential customer interaction tool for the travel industry. However, with a recent PhoCusWright and Kony Solutions survey finding that 31% of U.S. travelers are less likely to use a mobile application after a malfunction, creating a highly usable and effective mobile solution continues to be a key concern of savvy travel companies looking to leverage a potential sales channel as well as engage with their customers.

“As our survey revealed, American consumers have high expectations when it comes to their mobile interactions with travel companies, so getting a mobile application right the first time is crucial,” said Raj Koneru, founder and CEO of Kony Solutions. “The Kony Solutions single application definition allows travel companies to deliver feature-rich, highly functional mobile applications, deployed ubiquitously across more than 8,000 devices and eight mobile operating systems including iPhone, Android, BlackBerry, Windows Mobile, Symbian, and Palm. The ease of creating a mobile solution using a single application definition, combined with the savings in both time and cost, is something every travel company should consider when planning their long-term mobile strategy.”

At the Travel Innovation Summit, attendees will have the opportunity to experience a live demo of the Kony Mobile Travel application, which has been leveraged by some of the biggest industry brands, including Kony’s current clients United Airlines and Alaska Air. Attendees can also get a feel for the different features Kony can create for travel companies, including the ability to book and pay for items, receive confirmations, conduct mobile check-ins with IATA approved mobile bar-code boarding passes, and manage frequent flyer programs.
