Our Client
Has more than 15 years’ experience in IT strategy, Cloud and SOA Solutions, Enterprise Architecture and advanced system integration, primarily in the Financial Services and Healthcare verticals, constantly seeking to launch start-ups and put in practice new online businesses. Our client is the founder of loT.do – Internet of Things – and had previously worked with Roweb on other projects and chose our company to expand their online business venture.
Client’s Need
The client approached us with a business idea that was based on a management platform for an loT iBbeacon location based Social Media Network startup. Open House is a proximity aware platform which the client needed to be mobile device driven and cloud computing based.
Identifying, planning and executing an Open House event takes time and effort. Marketing is essential for a successful “Open House” project and at that time our client lacked a unified platform to combine all these elements.
Our Approach
The client approached several software outsourcing providers and we were selected after presenting a price quotation according to the client’s requirements.
We offered consultancy in choosing the most efficient technical solution to be used, in determining the infrastructure and performance optimization needs, while accommodating specific requests such as fast loading page responses.
This management platform was developed to allow integration with 3rd party developers via Web APIs on one hand, and on the other hand it offers #openhouse Hashtag, iBeacon Location awareness, attendance tracking, Check-in and other functionalities
Solution
At first the client presented several drafted guidelines as product specifications, and during the development process the specs were modified according to the technical development proposed by Roweb and accepted by the client.
We used high end technologies, adapting them to meet the client’s requirements: Windows Azure, SQL Azure, .NET MVC, Bootstrap, AngularJS, Android SDK (Java) and an Agile (Scrum) development methodology with twice a month releases.
