    MELLMO INTRODUCES ROAMBI, GROUNDBREAKING MOBILE BUSINESS APPLICATION REDEFINES INFORMATION INTERACTION ON THE iPHONE

    Roambi Now Available through iPhone App Store and Force.com AppExchange

    Customers can Enhance Salesforce CRM Mobile with Roambi

    San Diego, CA – May 19, 2009 – MeLLmo, a provider of innovative mobile applications which allow users to view and interact with critical information on-the-go, today announced the launch of its flagship application Roambi, available immediately for the iPhone. Roambi for iPhone enables individuals and organizations to transform static information, such as spreadsheets, tables and reports from popular business applications, into stunning interactive visualizations that can be instantly published directly to the iPhone, where users can view, analyze, interact with and share their information. Roambi for iPhone is available immediately as a free download through the iTunes App Store at http://www.roambi.com/getroambi.

    In conjunction with the free Roambi application for the iPhone, MeLLmo is launching Roambi Software as a Service (SaaS), which empowers individual users to publish their personal data to the iPhone in one click, and Roambi Enterprise, which allows mobile workforces to publish critical business information to the iPhone, and then access and analyze it on the go. Additionally, MeLLmo today announced it is working with industry leader salesforce.com, to provide their customers enhanced mobile access to information through Roambi.

    “Until now, accessing information on a mobile device meant looking at inefficient, clunky, shrunken-down versions of a desktop experience,” said Santiago Becerra, chairman and co-founder of MeLLmo, Inc., makers of Roambi. “With Roambi, we have introduced an entirely new format that unlocks the true value of accessing content on mobile devices and empowers users to publish dynamic and interactive information directly to their iPhones.”

    Roambi SaaS – Enabling Mobile Publishing to the iPhone

    Roambi leverages the iPhone’s unique multi-touch display, sleek user interface and pioneering software to allow users to visualize and interact with information on their mobile devices in an intuitive and visually appealing format. The free Roambi for iPhone application comes pre-loaded with sample information such as sports and financial data. Once users have downloaded Roambi for iPhone from the iTunes App Store, they can visit www.roambi.com and use the Roambi Publisher to upload tabular or spreadsheet-based information, including Salesforce CRM reports, transform them into dynamic, customizable Roambi visualizations, and deliver them to any iPhone with one click. Visit http://www.roambi.com/iphone-features.html to see a video demonstration of Roambi and view sample publishing options.

    Roambi Enterprise – Bringing Business Information to the iPhone

    To meet the growing productivity demands of the mobile workforce, MeLLmo also unveiled Roambi Enterprise, a secure and scalable enterprise server that allows organizations – from SMBs to large enterprises – to transform their critical business data and reports into interactive, visual analytics delivered to the iPhone. Resulting from on-premise server support for a wide range of reporting and intelligence tools including Microsoft Excel, SAP Web Intelligence, and SAP Crystal Reports, mobile workers can publish business information contained in simple spreadsheets or complex Business Intelligence reports into interactive visualizations that are easy to navigate on the iPhone.

    Working with salesforce.com

    MeLLmo also announced today that it is working with industry leader salesforce.com, to extend the benefits of Roambi to salesforce.com customers. Roambi is now available on Force.com’s AppExchange.

    "The combination of CRM and interactive business data reporting in the cloud is a powerful catalyst for driving performance and for empowering sales teams to meet their quotas," said Steve Lucas, senior vice president of Force.com marketing and ISV recruitment. “Roambi makes this combination even more potent by bringing it to mobile devices and by enabling our customers to extend their investment in Salesforce CRM by integrating with Roambi for the iPhone."

    • SuperList for publishing tabular data

    • Cardex for publishing content in a file cabinet format
    • PieView for publishing content in a pie chart format
