Client needs
More and more consumers live a digital experience throughout much of their day – they might check their email right after they wake up, use an iPad in meetings, SMS and tweet all day, and then post on Facebook last thing at night!
As a business you need to take this digital journey along with your target group, trying to understand what they need and expect from you. For some, this means creating exciting mobile content that appeals to your target audience. For others, it is about providing useful services based on the context, location, time, and needs of the mobile user, while always fully respecting the mobile guidelines on usability and technical open standards.
The increasing use of new devices, creates new demands and opportunities for content: the need to publish on the one hand, but the ability to reuse content across multiple channels with a minimum of effort, on the other. Other challenges are creating a brand experience on mobile technology alongside a marketing opportunity or promoting mobile services and generating more traffic.
Our Solution
Emakina/Digital Applications delivers high quality B2C and B2B applications. We provide strategic advice and define the digital applications roadmap for our customers.
Approach: We keep users needs, and the context of usage ‘front of mind’ as we develop digital applications, since we design things that are mostly used to execute critical tasks (e.g. ordering via an e-commerce platform, or activating and configuring services on secured websites) or consult information on the go using smartphones and/or interactive displays and touch surfaces, development of digital applications.
Technology: Devices, operating systems and technologies involved in this field are split across a highly fragmented market. At Emakina/Digital Applications, we follow digital trends closely. We know exactly where, when and on which platforms and devices our customers should be present.
Methodology: We tend to operate using an Agile (Scrum) methodology, which in our experience, leads to more successful delivery. Our team includes Scrum master-certified Project Managers. Our team is composed of specialised developers, consultants and experts, strategic mobile consultants, an e-commerce specialist, usability experts, RIA developers, graphic designers, slicing and xHTML mobile (trans)coding experts, technical analysts, testers and mobile analytics.
