- The objectives of implementing the Comarch Mobile Insurance Advisor are: to use it as a native application on both desktops and laptops (Windows, Mac OS), as well as tablets with iOS, Android and Windows Phone operating systems. Also, to enable us to apply a compliant BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) strategy based on a defined technological framework towards sales forces.
