The Blink Mobility Platform uses Amazon Web Services to deliver an extremely scalable and robust deployment platform, using most aspects of the AWS to achieve superior results.
To allow us to allow optimized worldwide resolution for requests to AWS regions, we make use of Amazon’s Route 53, which delivers reliable, scalable DNS as well as prioritised round-robin DNS resolution.

These objects are the core of the BlinkMobile architecture. We call it our Interaction-oriented architecture – every aspect of functional delivery is in support of these User Interactions.
Using What’s Available
A service-oriented architecture abstracts business functionality into well-defined services whilst the Interaction-oriented architecture provides a device independent visualization of those services that can be delivered as a platform service.

About Interactions
Satisfying a particular user need is what Interactions are all about. A Blink Mobility Platform based solution is focussed upon satisfying user needs. There is no need to employ desktop browsing metrics. These are meaningless in terms of satisfying user needs. The key is to satisfy needs with the minimum of fuss and clicks. That requires you to think about what the user needs at their point of need and bring the appropriate information to bear from whatever sources and services can add value. This is exactly what an Interaction does.
Regardless of the device your users will use, or the underlying systems that deliver the information, users will still want to know what is happening with their order, or whether their parcel has arrived.
The Interaction is the real-life unit of work that there is an ongoing benefit in delivering. It has ongoing worth.
Interactions can be styled and configured to look like part of a native application.
About answerSpaces
Interactions sit within the container (answerSpace) and are managed across an enterprise using Interaction Pools and an Interaction Manager.
Interactions are organized into what, to the user, looks like an app through the answerSpace.
You can deliver many answerSpaces from the one platform.
The answerSpace allows you to define a user’s experience.
