Mobile Branding
updated Sept. 2018
Introduction
SME's mobile applications can also be branded to preset appliance endpoints and include your organisations logos and colour themes. Due to the restrictions on these platforms, mobile branding is performed by SME.
If you are interested in having a branded version of our applications, you should contact your Account Manager.
This document covers what is required from the customer in order for SME to brand our mobile applications.
Items Required For Branding
We will require the following information.
General
Application Name
This will be the name of the application, as it will appear in the App Store listing, and inside the application. In general, shorter names are better as names that are too long will be truncated. There is a maximum of 30 characters.
Application Description
Your application listing will have a description attached to it for users to see.
Endpoint
Please provide your Enterprise File Fabric endpoint URL. The SSL certificates must be configured correctly for the endpoint. You can verify SSL configuration at Qualys SSL website.
Support Email Address
An email address that end-users can send questions to.
Test account
When your application is submitted to the store, the review process will involve logging into your File Fabric appliance through the application. This account does not need to have access to your storage.
Assets
Logos
Please provide the highest resolution / quality logo that you have. Logos with transparent background are preferred as the logos are often superimposed on different backgrounds. If you have multiple logo styles, please also provide those.
Supported types: PNG, PSD, AI, SVG
Color Swatches
Please provide some swatches of colors that your organisation uses. These should complement your logos. Where possible these will be applied within your branded application.
Submission of Mobile Apps
Android
Please register for a Google Play account. We will provide you the Android application as an apk file. You can submit it to Google Play for beta testing and distribution.
Apple iOS
We use Apple TestFlight for beta testing. Please provide email addresses of the persons who will be part of the beta.
We can submit the application to Apple app store on your behalf using our developer account. In case you want to use your iOS developer account, you will need to register and we will need access to your Apple iOS developer account.
Charges for Re-Work
Please take care when providing the information and assets that are required for branding the mobile apps. In the event that you revise the information or replace any of the assets after we have begun work on your tools we will charge you for the re-work at our normal Professional Services rates.

If your branded tools are covered by Support and Maintenance (which is separate from File Fabric Support and Maintenance) then they can be upgraded to the latest versions up to once every twelve months at no additional charge. If they are not covered by Support and Maintenance then they can be upgraded for a standard fee (available on request) per OS (IoS or Android) Alternatively, you can add Support and Maintenance for a standard fee (available on request) per OS.
