Differentiating Factors

The company’s major differentiator is their focus on User Experience. The company has a very strong design team that allows it to take up pure design projects (for mobile or web applications) independent of who actually develops the application. While their development team can build great mobile or web applications based on specifications, their strength in UX design allows them to work with the customer from concept stage and take the application through its full lifecycle. The company is also able to collaborate with customer development teams whose core competency is server-side - e.g., BI, databases, search, etc. (essentially, not UI) with their UX skills to bring out complete mobile or web applications that have a fantastic UI/ UX to them.

Revenue Model

The company works with both Fixed Bid and T&M (Time & Materials) models for their services. For  mobile application development and any design projects, the company is happy to work under Fixed Bid model where as for long term product development projects, the company would prefer a T&M model.

Founded: 2008

Clientele
