KEY FACTS


    --  Zebra's comprehensive Software Application Services offer end-to-end
        services to help with every phase of application migration including
        virtualization, re-engineering, rewriting and ongoing support.
    --  The new Application Virtualization Service can demonstrate large
        customer applications running in next generation mobile environments
        within weeks as opposed to months or years after a rewrite. This
        dramatically accelerates time-to-market while lowering costs and
        reducing incompatibility risks as an alternative to rewriting apps by
        re-using existing code and delivering like-for-like functionality on new
        devices and OS.
    --  In addition, a new UX prototyping process helps businesses identify and
        test what's possible with next generation mobile technology and create a
        functional user experience that is delivered within days, helping
        customers decide on the optimal environment.
    --  Application re-engineering and rewriting services deliver expert
        consultancy to redesign and rewrite applications for business processes
        and user experiences that will maximize productivity. For customers and
        partners requiring a development team, Zebra's Software Application
        Services team offers end-to-end service assistance with every phase of
        application migration including help desk and ongoing technical support.
    --  Zebra also offers activation and support services to businesses and
        channel partners managing application development migration efforts to
        help reduce the risk, time and cost associated with application
        development and deployment.
    --  All of these services are available through Zebra's extensive partner
        network. Activation and support services are also available for
        customer- or third party-developed applications.
