"And who knows, but a crystal is mist in decay" Kahlil Gibran
Mobile Computing Crystals provide a radical new alternative to conventional business computing including Cloud Computing. Mobile Computing Crystals provide more than a new style of computing but an entirely new paradigm, ie way of doing it.
The MMC2 Retail Manager is the first, but by no means will it be the last, in the MMC2 Mobile Computing Crystals range.
The analogies of clouds and crystals, illustrate the architecture behind each approach. Clouds are generally larger, less clearly defined, and not transparent. With the Cloud approach, computing and data storage are within the Cloud, ie somewhere else, off site. Crystals on the other hand, invoke the qualities of smaller, unique, valuable, clearly defined and crystal clear. Crystals can be held in your hand or placed in your pocket, not so Clouds. Everything, including your data, is in your hands, under your control at all times. Both approaches use computer hardware and computer software (Apps). One difference is in the location and size of the hardware. The processing power and storage capabilities of modern computer chips, allow for considerably smaller and more robust and capable hardware than in the past. This in turn allows software designers to create a new paradigm for Information Technology products, that are not just smaller and more convenient to use, but products that are used in new environments and contexts. Electronic calculators were the first basic forerunner of this system design philosophy. Now MMC2 leads the latest stage of the computer revolution, with Mobile Computing Crystals - a new easy approach that opens up very interesting possibilities.
McLean Mobile Computing Crystals (MMC2) are physical products that include hardware components and software components, as well as an overall design concept and philosophy. It is the combination of all of these elements that produces the finished product. Careful thought and planning has gone into researching, specifying and sourcing the primary hardware component of the crystals to ensure a reliable and quality product and user experience. This component is manufactured overseas by a reputable, 'state of the art' savvy, and reliable supplier. Warranty is supplied locally in Australia by MMC2. An important consideration for electronic equipment imported into Australia is its compliance with local safety standards. This is taken care of by the power supplies being sourced locally and in compliance with Australian safety standards.
The product design concept, the software systems design and programming, and the hardware warranty, are all supplied by MMC2.
CRYSTAL - includes hardware and software, does not depend on an internet connection. Battery run.
