By Telecom Lead Team: Kii Corporation announced that it has launched Kii
platform for the mobile app developers at Mobile World congress 2012,
Barcelona, Spain.
Kii Platform combines cloud technology (Kii Cloud),
distribution through Asian OEMs and operators (Kii Partners) and an early stage
investment fund (Kii Capital) for accelerating App
Store entrepreneurs into successful global businesses.
The company said that currently it reaches over 40
million end users around the world through its network of developer partners.
Backbone of Kii platform, Kii Cloud is a suite of
scalable back-end cloud services including user management, data management,
analytics and mobile advertising.
Through Kii’s developer portal, developers can quickly
process data for millions of users without writing a single line of server
code.
With similar ease developers can improve app monetization
by including the Kii Ad SDK. Kii supports smartphone developers using any major
platform but offers special native SDK support for Apple IOS and Android
development.
“App Store success creates new challenges:
raising money, hiring server engineers, and going global. Through Kii
Capital, Kii Cloud and Kii Partners we stand behind this new class of
entrepreneur,” said Masanari Arai, CEO and co-founder of Kii Corporation.
One beneficiary of the Kii Platform is Metago, developers
of the ASTRO File Manager app, which has grown to more than 20M downloads in
Android Market.
Kii Capital was the first institutional investor in
Metago, Kii Cloud is the foundation for the company’s first
subscription-based premium online service, ASTRO Backup, and Kii Partners
helped Metago secure distribution deals with large Asian partners.
