Softjourn and start-ups go together. Having worked with several throughout the US and Europe, Softjourn is excited to see the latest start-up launch.
San Francisco, CA (OPENPRESS) Softjourn, a software development services company, disclosed its work today with PowWow, a San Francisco based start-up, who is helping corporations deliver on the promise of mobile. With PowWow, more companies are able to let their employees experience Windows apps as if they were made for the ipad, enabling them to get more done on the go.
With the explosive growth of mobile devices and the BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) trend, how do businesses bring all the Windows-centric desktop applications, that they have spent billions to develop, to mobile? PowWow, a new technology start-up has got a solution! Realizing that it is cost prohibitive to re-write business applications for mobile,PowWow designed a cloud based platform that runs Windows-based apps on tablets without a port. PowWow has a special focus on iPads, with and Android release coming later this year.
As part of this process, PowWow chose Softjourn as its software development partner to streamline its software development processes. "The team in Ukraine is so closely integrated with us, they understand what we are trying to achieve. Distance is not an issue, it is the opposite in fact, it means that PowWow never sleeps!" — Jonathan Kaplan, Co-Founder & CTO, PowWow
For Softjourn, working closely with its clients is key, this means understanding our client's business. "We are all excited to be working on this project with PowWow and to be working on this product specifically. As people do more things on the go, they expect tablets to help them do things like edit office documents, and this is a great service that delivers programs like MS Word to the iPad without compromising security, employee privacy, or the mobile experience." — Liubomyr Nykyforuk, Project Manager, Softjourn, Inc.
