Commercial Applications

To compete in the mobile arena, you’ve got to make the most of a rather finite capacity. The key is to squeeze more functionality and performance from that capacity than anyone else.

Our ability to make the most efficient use of resources is critical to achieving this goal. We’re experts at understanding how to best operate within the constraints of the hand-held space. We’ve put this ability to use in an application that integrates email, scheduling, and GPS capabilities to help users plan their appointments or arrange service calls for maximum efficiency.

Whether the platform is Windows.net, Linux, Palm, or something new, we can help you make the most of its capabilities.

One of the most successful handheld tools in the last century has been the Swiss Army knife, which continues to offer attractive features in a small form factor. We know that mobile consumer apps need the same approach to succeed.

They say you can’t squeeze blood from a stone. But our engineers know a thing or two about stones; and they know that if you design a stone correctly you can get plenty into it. They have years of practice squeezing every last bit of functionality into compact and robust code while ensuring it’s flexible enough to move across the wide range of mobile platforms.

Our development team has delivered commercial consumer applications for a wide variety of markets and we’ve done it with style. Our engineers know that a well-designed user interface and a small footprint are the keys to making a consumer application well-received in the marketplace, and our QA team is attuned to the needs and habits of end users. Ultimately, our goal is to turn your brilliant ideas and requirements into something small and feature-rich-not unlike a tiny Swiss Army knife.

Case Study: A client asked us to implement their successful Windows line of lifestyle and time management applications on the Palm OS. In the course of development, we introduced multiple innovations both in code efficiency and user interface design that the client subsequently implemented in their desktop software as well. The client was so pleased with the quality that they asked us to port the apps to Pocket PC as well.
