Vision
Eastridge proposed a solution that would run on iPads, web browsers, and future Windows Slate hardware. The backend server would take advantage of an existing SharePoint PowerPoint slide library, with the use of standardized PowerPoint templates that acted us the main proposal shells. Users would also have the ability to customize basic templates and store them on the server for future use or customization.
Architecture
Eastridge was able to utilize the customer's existing SharePoint 2010 installation with some minor configuration of the SharePoint Slide Library for PowerPoint. The actual application for iPad was built on a Beta version of the jQuery Mobile platform. This allowed the Eastridge design team to build a rich graphical interface that was familiar to iPad and Tablet users, but also serve up content in Internet Explorer, Firefox, or Safari.
