TABLET AND MOBILE
Mobile devices are often constrained by
display size and require a different
approach to how content is laid out on
screen. Responsive web design responds to
the needs of the users and the devices
they’re using. The layout changes based on
the size and capabilities of the device.
WHY NOT AN APP?
The alternative to mobile friendly site is producing
apps that perform similar functions. Now this can
be a very tedious task. Making an app is also quite
expensive and apart from that, you would have to
make different apps for different platforms. Once
you make these apps, they have to fight hundreds
of thousands of other apps to get into the spotlight.
Observer is multi platform, responsive and eco-friendly

WHAT IS A LICENSE MANAGER?
A software license manager is a software management tool used by
Independent software vendors or by end-user organizations to control
where and how software products are able to run. License managers
protect software vendors from losses due to software piracy and enable
end-user organizations to comply with software license agreements.
License managers enable software vendors to offer a wide range of usage-centric
software licensing models, such as product activation, trial licenses,
subscription licenses, feature-based licenses, and floating licensing from the
same software package they provide to all users.
A license manager is different from a software asset management tool,
which end-user organizations employ to manage the software they have
licensed from many software vendors. However, some software asset
management tools include license manager functions. These are used to
reconcile software licenses and installed software, and generally include
device discovery, software inventory, license compliance, and reporting
functions.
Observer combines the simplicity of a license manager with the
advanced features of an asset management tool.
