Appcelerator and Crittercism Partner to Deliver First Integrated Mobile App Development and App Performance Platform to the Enterprise

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 24, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Appcelerator^® the leading mobile development platform and Crittercism, the world's first Mobile Application Performance Management (APM) platform today announced an integration between both of their flagship products and a distribution agreement.

Tightly integrated into Titanium^®, Crittercism's app performance management (APM) solution offers a real-time global view of performance across iOS, Android and HTML5 architectures. This new integration between the products provides developers and app business owners with visibility into the health and availability of their Titanium apps. The integrated service processes detailed crash data and trends, identifies the lines of code that caused the performance issue, and captures the set of steps a user took that led to the problem.

By combining Crittercism with Titanium 3.0, developers will:

• Achieve faster time to market for new versions of mobile apps
• Deliver higher performing apps across all devices and operating systems
• Realize faster resolution of performance problems

Appcelerator's 1,400 enterprise customers will now have the ability to monitor and manage app performance in real-time through a single, easy-to-use dashboard as part of the mobile app lifecycle. As a result, mobile users will benefit from a richer, more immersive native, cross-platform mobile experience.

"Mobile app owners care about innovation, a transformational user experience and strong adoption. By combining Appcelerator's Titanium 3.0 with Crittercism's Mobile APM, enterprises can now understand user adoption challenges by quickly identifying and addressing performance problems when and if they occur. More importantly, this combined solution gives mobile app teams the visibility and actionable insights to ensure business success," said Appcelerator CEO Jeff Haynie.

Mobile development and app crashes are the top two issues affecting user retention and in-app purchases. As such, Mobile APM is critical and has a direct impact on app store ratings, reviews and revenues.

"The mobile app ecosystem is a war zone. Mobile app developers are faced with a number of ever-changing variables such as operating system releases, devices, app version updates, networks and connectivity, which makes app management difficult if not impossible without the right tools in place," said Andrew Levy, Crittercism's co-founder and CEO. "By partnering with Appcelerator, we are making mobile app developers' lives easier by providing a choice platform on which to build their apps as well as providing greater visibility into app performance, enabling developers to offer consumers the best experience possible."
