MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 10/22/12 -- Appcelerator®, the leading mobile platform company, today announced a partnership with DENSO Corporation, a leading automotive supplier, to create a development solution for in-car applications that are fully integrated with vehicle information systems. Integrating the capabilities of a leading automotive telematics provider and a proven mobile application development platform, this partnership enables the automotive industry to create compelling user experiences in an in-car environment.

Appcelerator's Titanium technology will be closely integrated into DENSO's NaviBridge Module, enabling any Titanium app to transmit points of interest, such as restaurant or museum locations, to in-dash navigational systems that support NaviBridge. The first comprehensive development and delivery solution involving software, hardware and services, this partnership indicates both parties leading roles in bringing mobile applications into non-traditional environments.

"This is a significant opportunity for us to merge our capabilities. We understand the needs of the automotive industry and the safety considerations that must be built into every automotive feature, and Appcelerator has the tools to support us through its mobile development expertise and platform," said Doug Patton, senior vice president of Engineering at DENSO International America, Inc. "As mobile technologies become increasingly critical components of automotive telematics solutions, DENSO greatly benefits from having access to Appcelerator's industry-leading development technology and its large ecosystem of mobile application developers. Because of our work together, we will empower the automotive industry to deliver the richest in-car applications while maintaining the highest safety precautions for our customers."

Because DENSO is a trusted supplier to automotive manufacturers, this partnership grants Appcelerator's developer community unique access to an environment that is typically unavailable. By opening a new vertical market for existing and future applications, developers have new, incremental revenue opportunities.

"As one of the world's top suppliers of automotive telematics solutions, DENSO provides outstanding validation for the applicability and extensibility of the Titanium platform for opportunities outside traditional mobile devices," said Sandeep Johri, chief operating officer for Appcelerator. "Working with Denso is inspiring us to think well beyond the mobile device for developing rich applications -- TVs, refrigerators, and appliances are just a few of the other intriguing form factors for Appcelerator to lead the way in multi-platform application development."
