Enea helps Malmö Redhawks to become first Swedish ice hockey club with Android app

Malmö Redhawks is the first of the clubs in the Swedish leagues “Allsvenskan” and “Elitserien” to launch its very own Android app. This app has been developed by a team: Enea as the system supplier, OmegaPoint provided the news connection, and Attraction was responsible for the design.

The first version of the Malmö Redhawks app, which is available today on the Android Market, includes match information, the latest news and a player gallery. This app will also be launched for iPhone early next year.

Enea’s job as part of the team is to supply the system, which means taking overall responsibility for every aspect of the app; system design, development, testing, dynamic linking to databases, and integration of the parts provided by other suppliers. This project was executed at the Enea Android Competence Center, based in Lund.

“We are very pleased with the support we received from Enea when developing the Malmö Redhawks app,” says Magnus Sallbring, CEO of Malmö Redhawks. “Our aim is to build the very best ice hockey club in Europe, and to achieve this we need our fans to support us.  Android and iPhone app is one way to make it easier for them to follow our team, and it also makes it easier for us to make information available to our supporters quickly and easily. Enea has helped us to get this project finished smoothly in a short time, and with several organizations involved.”

“Our cooperation with Malmö Redhawks is completely in line with our objective: to be the leading technology consultancy company in the Öresund region,” says Thomas Montgomery, Business Unit Manager at Enea. “We have extensive expertise when it comes to developing apps for both Android and iPhone, but even more importantly we can act as a system supplier and offer complete solutions, also when other suppliers are contributing with their parts. One of Enea’s strengths is that we work not only with apps, but with all aspects of Android, which means that we have broad expertise and leading edge skills in fields such as security, performance and infrastructure.”

The Enea Android Competence Center combines two of Enea’s core skills: advanced mobile platforms and Linux. Its services are aimed at clients wishing to integrate Android into their product or use apps in their marketing. Enea offers support covering the entire spectrum, from system and app development to training and seminars.
