In April 2013, we reported that Cambridge’s Gizmox raised a $7.5 million venture round bringing the Irsrael-born startup’s total to $18 million. Almost a year and a half later, the company has announced a drastic new change in corporate structure, essentially splitting in two and bringing on a seasoned veteran tech executive.

Gizmox offered customers developer solutions for building cross-platform HTML5 business apps. Freshly spun from that is Reddo Mobile, which uses crucial Gizmox properties to afford users mobile access and mobile-optimized user experiences for existing Windows Desktop applications.

“Large enterprises have made enormous investments in building applications running on the Windows Desktop platform,” said John Vigeant, CEO ofReddo Mobility in a statement. “While the value of making desktop apps available on mobile devices is understood, the cost and time to developing new apps architected for web and mobile is often prohibitive. Reddo Mobility gives IT organizations an alternative approach that is faster, less costly, and lower risk.”

Vigeant is the former CEO of Tracelytics.

Despite the emergence of Reddo, Gizmox will continue to develop its signature technology under the newly-minted entity Gizmox Transposition Ltd., and its HTML5 platform will still be available here.

“Reddo addresses the challenge of delivering legacy business applications to users’ mobile devices,” added Reddo CTO Itzik Spitzen in a statement. “Existing approaches that stream a UI built for desktop interaction to a mobile device result in a clumsy, often unusable, user experience. Reddo lets users interact with windows desktop apps on any device as if the application had been originally designed for mobility.”
