Opera
Business Terminals
The business terminal sector is constantly growing as more companies recognize that the power of the Web can significantly decrease their interface development time and costs. Companies need to be able to offer high-volume business terminal users rapidly customizable interfaces for their terminals, and with Opera's Devices SDK, this is possible.
The latest generation terminals have the hardware and horsepower to run a browser and can use Opera as an HTML presentation engine for walled-garden content. In use, business terminals running on the Opera browser environment can handle sensitive customer transactions (both private customer data and credit card/financial transactions) securely. When terminals are not in use, Web technology is used to push content, e.g. dynamic advertising from a centralized location.
Benefits
Significant cost saving with maximum customization
For most companies, hard-coding a solution for each different customer would be prohibitive in terms of time and money; with Opera's Devices SDK, interfaces can be created and changed with virtually no cost or time at all.
Fast turnaround time
Because development time is considerably reduced by using Opera as a presentation engine, companies experience a faster time-to-market and an easier, more expedient means of changing or presenting content on their terminals.
Dynamic content
End-users will appreciate updated content, e.g. current maps and traffic information, accessible through their PND. Opera's adherence to a common core technology makes update, upgrade and maintenance processes easier, faster and more uniform.
Opera Zoom
One of Opera's greatest advantages is the flexibility it offers to create and deploy dynamic content.
Secure transactions
From the outset, Opera has been focused on creating the most secure Web browser. This enables secure services on devices, most notably business terminals where confidential customer information and credit card/financial information is transacted.
The Opera reputation
Opera is a trusted partner and solid, experienced company working closely with partners to rapidly bring new products to market. Traded on the Norwegian stock exchange and deployed to millions of customers, Opera Software is a leader in the Web technology industry.
