A mini tech roundup finds a new app platform for Kony, a new website interface for Burroughs, and enhancements to the Netsurion Partner Program for point-of-sale resellers and retail technology providers.

Austin, Texas-based mobility solutions company Kony, announced release of V8 of its Kony AppPlatform offering aimed at helping professional and citizen developers simplifying the app development and deployment process in order meet the ever-increasing demand for apps within organizations and to improve the omnichannel experience.

"Businesses are struggling to get ahead of the demands of an increasingly digital client base, workforce and business environment," Burley Kawasaki, executive vice president of products at Kony, said. "Our latest V8 version of Kony AppPlatform addresses this need, by speeding and simplifying the process of app design, development and delivery, and ensuring the app does not compromise user experiences and is future proofed to take advantage of new, emerging technologies, such as chatbots and IoT."
