Mobile Operators and Service Providers are discovering new ways to add substantial value to their solution with its standards-based, platform-independent Content Transformation Solution (CTS). CTS allows Mobile Operators, Mobile Email Service Providers and OEMs the flexibility to easily, securely and quickly implement an email attachment viewing solution that works within their existing email service frameworks.
- Highest quality viewing by employing the powerful, vector-based open standard "SVG-T" (Scalable Vector Graphics -- Tiny Profile) format that readily allows for zooming, scrolling, rotating, panning and animation.
- Limited bandwidth consumption by breaking documents into discrete pages that are similar to actual printed page.
- Optimized for minimal device resources to address resource-constrained handsets, requiring only a very small device memory footprint.
- Provides the 'next generation' mobile email solution by preserving the original layout, formatting, and graphics from the original file - the document that the user sees on the device screen is virtually identical to the desktop version.
With the rapid proliferation of ever-powerful phones and ubiquitous wireless broadband access, one thing is certain: when you're away from your desk, your mobile phone is your business lifeline. Mobile email has become essential to today's professional workforce.
While delivery of email to mobile phones is now commonplace, it is typically limited to plain text content. But what about those ever important email attachments? Increasingly, critical business and personal information is sent as an attachment to a brief email message.
Today's mobile professionals expect to have instant access to all their office documents, especially when they're away from their desk. According to a Microsoft-sponsored study, over 30% of email messages contain attachments; at an average of 1.7 attachments per email message, this is critical information that users want to access, view and take action on - anytime, anywhere.
Now Mobile Operators, Email Vendor Providers and ISPs can offer customers unparalleled attachment viewing - whether it is viewing a PowerPoint presentation with animation, zooming in on a city map sent as a PDF, examining charted financial forecasts in an Excel spreadsheet, or reviewing a red-lined contract sent as a Word document.
Mobile email users will soon just expect high fidelity email attachment viewing to be there… and why shouldn't they?
Several factors have limited Email Service Providers from delivering high fidelity mobile email attachment viewing service. These include bandwidth consumption, available device resources, usability and interface problems, and cross-platform support. Combined, these issues presented daunting problems to mobile email providers.
Now Quickoffice technology allows email providers to add substantial value to their solution with its standards-based, platform-independent Content Transformation Solution. CTS allows Mobile Operators, Mobile Email Service Providers and OEMs the flexibility to easily, securely and quickly implement an email attachment viewing solution that works within their existing email service frameworks.
CTS provides an unparalleled engaging end user experience, that gives mobile email users the 'full desktop experience':
- Quickly view rich email attachment content without long download wait time

CTS is a scalable client-server solution, providing rich email attachment viewing as well as high fidelity 'quick preview' of documents for all types of mobile phones. CTS takes mobile email to the next level.
Key Advantages:
- Highest quality viewing
CTS overcomes readability and user interface issues by employing the powerful, vector-based open standard “SVG-T” (Scalable Vector Graphics -- Tiny Profile) format that readily allows for zooming, scrolling, rotating, panning and animation all without any loss of quality.
- Limited bandwidth consumption
CTS overcomes bandwidth limitations by breaking documents into discrete pages, generating small files (typically 5-20kb per page) that are similar in appearance to the actual printed page. CTS optimizes and compresses content to reduce excessive file size. Customers can select and view only the pages of interest and not worry about downloading large files.
- Optimized for minimal device resources
CTS is specifically designed to address resource-constrained handsets, requiring only a very small device memory footprint.
- Provides the 'next generation' mobile email solution
Because CTS preserves the original layout, formatting, and graphics from the original file, the document that the user sees on the device screen is virtually identical to the desktop version.
- Native viewing capability not required
Using the open-standard SVGT format ensures a single viewer application can display any converted email attachment. Converted documents are viewable using any standard SVG viewer, although Quickoffice's market-leading BitFlash™ SVGT Viewers (already licensed by many leading OEM and OS providers worldwide) allow access to additional functionality such as 'text-only' view.
- Adds value and complements existing on-device mobile office software
CTS can be integrated into email clients and any native office software that resides on the device to deliver a significantly enhanced end user experience. End users will be able to instantly and seamlessly access thumbnail previews and quick views of email attachments in rich, high fidelity format. Should the user need access to the original native file, the option is there to download it to the device and use the native mobile office suite residing on the phone (using the native application like the award-winning Quickoffice™ Premier suite).
- Private-Labeled Solution
Quickoffice has a CTS white label program that allows service providers to tailor mobile email solutions to their customer base.
