With the proliferation of different wireless devices, it is becoming increasingly difficult for organizations to deliver content to the widest possible end user market. In an effort to ease the limitations, Kargo, Inc. has introduced Morphis™, an open sourced wireless <transcoding> platform, promising enterprises a low cost means of delivering content to millions of wireless devices.

Kargo said Morphis enables companies to deploy wireless sites quickly and efficiently by deceasing the cost of maintaining and supporting existing wireless sites and optimizing the content for any wireless device.

Customizes any type of content, including binary, text, and text markup, as well as processing images
Capable of conducting multiple complex transformations, including industry standard XSLT-based transformations.

Speaking at the recent Global Internet Summit, in London, Harry Kargman, co-founder and chief executive officer of Kargo, said, "Kargo has created the first platform designed to support a graphical experience on existing and future handsets.

Mobileinfo Comments and Advisory: Morphis Transcoding platform will meet stiff competition from the big boys - IBM's WebSphere, Microsoft's Information Server and now Oracle's Mobile platform. If it is truly open and can span across multiple application servers, it may survive. Otherwise, it will stay as a niche product. It is a difficult area to survive.
