The Challenge

Define, architect, develop, and deploy a mobile entertainment guidance application in preparation for the launch of the first generation iPhone and the now famous Apple App Store.

The Process

Tireless hours pouring our hearts and minds into learning and building a solution to deliver a new experience on a new platform within a few months. We met with senior architects and user interface experts at Apple to ensure our design and implementation would sing and dance for users. It was critical to ensure that our users enjoyed a trilling feature rich experience in our app. We established a core team and brokered agreements with Amazon, Apple, TiVo, Rovi, and more to ensure proper scaleability for our anticipated load as well as video transcoding in real time.

The Outcome

A highly scaleable platform and harness that was later used as a model to offer services at AWS, a top 100 Apple Store App, more than 1,000,000 users in less than six months and over 4,000,000 installs within the first few years. When the Android released we were quick to capture that market as well!

Create one app to manage all of your media and stream it effortlessly to Logitech’s leading bluetooth speaker.

The Process

Bring together a team to define, build, test and deploy custom web, mobile, and driver-level development resources to create an awesome and powerful user experience. In coordination with Logitech’s teams from around the globe we crafted custom iOS and Android apps, a robust backend, and reverse engineered a near-instant streaming protocol for top performance.

The Results

Seamless control of Pandora, Spotify, Last.fm, and almost any other source of media from one central iOS or Android application. From online radio, to podcasts, to owned media on your device, we made all media play nice and sound incredible. Top tier technology, paired with Logitech’s global reach resulted in a premium product delivered on time and on budget.

This ensures a way for your family to easily divide your assets according to your wishes after you have passed. Anyone who owns real estate or has significant wealth should consider creating a living trust.

With a trust you are able to:

Ensure Privacy
eliminate involvement of the court (probate) as you settle your affairs.

Minimize Estate Taxes
Guarantee you pay the lowest estate tax possible.

Hold Assets in Trust
Ensure your children don’t receive their inheritance until they are mature enough to appreciate and manage wealth they receive.

Additionally when you create a trust with Estate Guru:

A Lawyer is Assigned to Your File
At no extra cost, this lawyer will monitor your estate plan, ensuring documents are created, maintained, funded, and settled correctly.

Secure Cloud Storage

Sharing Capability
Trying to distribute assets after someone has passed without a trust or even a will is stressful and difficult. Estate Guru makes it easier for you to help your relatives get their estate plan in order before their passing, and allows for easy sharing of these documents.

Quality
Estate Guru provides lawyer quality documents at an affordable price.

Convenience
When banks or other institutions have questions about funding, you can pull up your trust on most internet connected devices, settling the matter then and there.

The Challenge

Define and deliver a campaign management system that empowers campaign staff to leverage volunteers in an effort to efficiently identify favorable voters (voter ID) and inspire them to vote in the election (Get Out The Vote). Traditional methods require publishing call scripts, hiring staff to make countless calls to complete voter ID, and cataloging responses in a database. Our goal was to define an integrated system that supported defining call scripts with logical branching that anyone could use via VOIP in any browser as well as Facebook, Twitter, eMail, and Print integration for full campaign support. We developed inventory management features to track sign placement and other marketing media distribution to understand how the message was getting out and our precinct or voter area message coverage. Additionally, we developed mobile applications to enable campaign and volunteer staff the ability to conduct walking campaigns for door to door engagement and intelligence gathering in support of ensuring our candidate’s success in the election.

The Process

Countless hours of interviewing campaign staffers, volunteers, and campaign managers to define a robust engaging platform that gave our candidates a distinct advantage in mobilizing their volunteers and ultimately getting their supporters to the pools on election day.

The Outcome

Greater volunteer engagement, higher voter turnout, and a database of voter data that will secure success for years to come.
