PEMBROKE, MA--(Marketwired - May 13, 2014) - Ariett, a leading provider of Enterprise Purchase and Expense Software, announces the release of Ariett Touch, the company's new mobile expense management software. Customers can now enter, view and approve contracts, requisitions, invoices, travel requests and expense reports on any device from the Microsoft Azure Cloud. Touch establishes the company's mobile-first strategy and paves the way for future development of mobile-first applications.
"Our development agenda is driven by customers, so Touch and our mobile-first strategy naturally grew out of end users' needs," said Glenn Brodie, President of Ariett. "Businesses today require flexible, mobile software solutions. By leveraging HTML5 and CSS3, we've made the software's user interface adapt to any device. This means that the mobile and desktop versions are the same user-friendly, full-featured product."
Ariett's mobile expense management software also advances the company's cloud-first, mobile-first strategy by providing integration with Azure Active Directory. By supporting Azure Active Directory (AAD), Touch allows organizations to have centralized control over users, regardless of the device used to access company systems. Administrators only manage one password per user across applications, and users gain simplified access through single sign-on to Ariett without further authentication. Companies that use AD on-premises can install DirSync, a Microsoft tool, to synchronize on-premises AD with AAD.
With the release of Ariett Touch, the company has embraced a mobile-first strategy by offering a product that is built from the ground up for mobile devices, ensuring a simple, seamless user experience. Mobile devices are quickly becoming the standard for modern business. A recent Gartner Report stated that by 2017, half of employers will require employees to BYOD (Bring Your Own Device). In light of increasing BYOD in business, it is essential that employees can easily and securely access company applications from their device of choice.
Touch can be used to enter, review and approve documents from any location. When employees travel for business, they can use their mobile devices to enter and submit for approval expense reports with attached receipts. Real-time visibility to expenses committed to budget helps managers to set and enforce employee spending policies. The current release of the product allows customers to take advantage of Ariett's entire software suite, with additional e-procurement functionality to be completed this year.
