Sicap enables the non-iPhone, non-Android market to get even with software.

"The Sicap device management platform [carries] out live capability and « vital statistics » device checks... administrators of the platform are fed a complete list of installed applications, their versions as well as other software and hardware details for each device in the network. The Sicap platform allows the subsequent installation, updating or removal of phone clients to ensure that software downloads work first time...

Users are able to install and remove applications seamlessly, accept prompts for subsequent updating operations and gain control over application usage in an assisted manner. Because the logical downside of third party applications is an increased risk of malware and virus attacks, Sicap integrates the application « kill » facility into its platform, enabling an operator to detect devices concerned in the network, advise affected customers of an attack, then disable and remove malicious programmes...

... based on OMA DM SCOMO standards as well as proprietary manufacturer implementations. Supported natively by all recent Symbian and Windows Mobile based devices, Sicap’s use of open-standard protocols will encourage the overall development of mobile software and help bring the smart phone market back into balance.

Sicap application management is available as a managed service and can be deployed by an operator as part of a corporate offer for example."
