You don't need to reinvent
the wheel unless it's your
US. !here are services out

dele"ate whole application
parts. #nte"ratin" them
comes with special problems
that re$uire certain
development strate"ies like
fault tolerance and cachin".
We have tools speciali%ed to

#n most cases you don't need
a expensive and hard to
maintain 'native' app. &ur
solutions play perfectly with
the web based backend and
of course can "o to the app
stores. We built cross-
platform mobile apps with
standards-based web
technolo"ies that 'ust work
like a native app, usin"
U#(U) elements and
concepts that makes the app
easy to use.

We have a strict development process which is as
transparent as possible and allows clients to see
pro"ress and identify problems and potential cost
intensive decisions almost in real time.
#nstead of 'sin"le developer per pro'ect' setup we like
to have different skill-sets partially involved and always
someone who knows the pro'ect as backup.
