Success Story

FeedHenry is a cloud computing enterprise mobility platform

providing enterprise clients, telecom operators, ISVs and developers a development platform for fast, secure and scalable deployment of sophisticated business apps.

With a single click, business apps can be deployed across all smartphones and web devices– iPhone, Android, Blackberry, Nokia, Windows Mobile, iPad, etc. and social networks – Facebook, MySpace, Bebo, etc.

FeedHenry’s solutions offer business logic and storage in the cloud, secure integration with existing systems, and complete app lifecycle management and analytics. Their goal is to help enterprises rapidly extend their brand into new channels, increase their revenues and enhance the customer experience without the need for costly long development cycles.

The FeedHenry platform leverages significant researched knowledge in TSSG that has been developed through a number of European Commission R&D programs that were focused on next generation service architectures, platforms and services and the technology platform that the company uses was developed through Enterprise Ireland commercialisation funding.

Most recently TSSG collaborated with FeedHenry to launch their new developer portal, which enables developers to build an app once using open technologies such as HTML 5 and JavaScript, deploy the app into the FeedHenry cloud and then run the app on any mobile device.

FeedHenry was founded by Barry Downes, CEO TSSG and is now led by Cathal McGloin , former President of Arantech and Founder and CEO of Performis Technologies.

As a result of the work of the TSSG team on the technology platform behind FeedHenry, FeedHenry has been recognised with the following awards:

CTIA Emerging Technology Award – CTIA 2010 & 2009 Las Vagas; and Internet Telephony Magazine 2009 – Product of the Year Award for Outstanding Innovation for its Cloud-based Cross Platform Apps Solution.

FeedHenry is now set to achieve explosive growth on an international level, all of which was made possible by the work, resource and support of the TSSG and Enterprise Ireland.
