History and development
In its beginnings, team of Resco developers focused on platforms such as Palm OS, Pocket Pc (Standard) and Pocket PC (Professional) known today as Windows Mobile.[4] Blackberry’s RIM OS was not yet included. Applications included Resco Explorer, Resco Photo Viewer, Resco Radio and Resco Audio Recorder, which received awards from PDA journals such as Pocket PC Magazine.[5] In 2004 Resco published their first application for Nokia’s Symbian OS (Resco Photo Viewer for Symbian). The genesis and growing popularity of new mobile platforms in 2009 and 2010 has become a motivation for Resco to completely change the company's heading and strategy. The development on four former mobile platforms was stopped and at the end of the year 2010 Resco introduced their first application for Android and Windows Phone 7 (Resco Radio).[6]
In 2009, a completely new path towards business applications was taken. Resco disrupted the world of Mobile CRM with the first version of Resco Mobile CRM, a client for Dynamics CRM. Resco Mobile CRM continuously receives new features plus an extra supplement: a customization tool Woodford, which is making the solution accessible to a wider range of users. In 2013, Resco.net, Inc. — the US subsidiary of Resco was launched , the same time a new product: Resco Advantage (later renamed to Resco CRM) was introduced to the world as a brand new, standalone Mobile CRM solution.
