Enea's Latest Smartphone App a Favorite in Skåne


Enea's Latest Smartphone App a Favorite in Skåne

The City of Malmö app includes places in the city environment which
people might find useful and fun

Over Easter, the City of Malmö launched its app for smartphones such as
Android and iPhone. This app includes places in the city environment
which people might find useful and fun. It includes dog walk areas,
public restrooms and the 20 or so themed playgrounds in Malmö, with
unique and specially built attractions. The app also includes all the
jobs available in the City of Malmö and the option of reporting faults
directly to customer service.

The app has been developed by Enea Experts in Lund together with the
Highways Department of the City of Malmö. The system is fully dynamic
and integrated with existing systems in the municipality, such as news
and jobs available. Besides what the end user sees on their smartphone,
the system includes a web-based administration tool for adding and
managing places and associated information. The system is designed to
allow City of Malmö staff to create new categories and add new places
themselves. Information added to the service is directly accessible on
mobile units.

"Enea's strength is that not only do we know how to develop mobile apps,
but also that we understand the whole system and are able to integrate
our app with the customer's other systems", says Magnus Bondesson, Head
of the Enea Experts unit in Lund. "For an app to be successful in the
long term, you should have precisely the attitude that the City of Malmö
has; they have worked together in a number of administrations and are
integrating the app into their overall operations."

"We hope the people of Malmö will consider this app to be very helpful,
and to date we have been seeing around a hundred downloads a day", says
Jan Andersson, Head of IT at the Highways Department of the City of
Malmö. "Our cooperation with Enea has gone really well, and with their
knowledge and experience they have been able to guide us through the
discussions which led to the app we now have. Moreover, the project was
delivered on time at the cost which we agreed, which is not always the
case with IT projects nowadays."

To download the City of Malmö app, go to the AppStore or Android Market
and search on City of Malmö.
