- Complete visibility into, and management of, user rights and roles to support more effective and secure management of enterprise processes
“As companies look to innovate across customer, partner and organizational lines, they need rapid collaborative development and deployment tools that can be driven by business units with minimal IT support. Umajin enables enterprises to get the most out of the digitization of products and services using advanced tools that transform the user experience and create the immersive stickiness of Digital Agents, AR, VR, 3D and other advanced technologies,” said Bill Stevenson, the new Umajin’s Board Chair. “Umajin fundamentally improves the process of connecting information to and from endpoint devices while delivering unique interactive experiences.”

“This platform is built using technology and intellectual property that we have developed over many years. It enables enterprises to deliver digital transformation using their own staff to build, deploy, and manage digital applications across all platforms more rapidly than any other solution on the market, and with less risk,” added Brebner. “We’re tremendously excited to take this major step forward as a company.”
