Murano Software took a part in the
Microsoft Mobile Incubation Week held in Washington, D.C. Sep 28 – Oct 2. Murano Software deployed a development swat team led by Dimitri Nikouline, a former chief software architect at Homestore/Realtor.com. Murano used a detailed, focused process to help produce prototypes for five companies selected from over 150 applicants.
Our company is a MIW veteran, having supported both the
Mountain View and
London events. We are proud to have been selected as Microsoft's development partner for this outstanding event. You can find out more information about MIW in the
ABC Interview with Brian Hoskins, a director on Microsoft's emerging business team.
The goals of the week were to: 1) build a working application, 2) explore ways to accelerate the business, and 3) work together and have fun. And these goals were fully achieved. The teams we worked with were extremely impressed with how quickly we were able to step up to the plate and implement very amazing applications within such a short timeframe.
Spry Spry offers comprehensive insight for software projects. Spry brings the real-time activity stream into the world of software development and helps teams make better decisions. It also has a solid integration with various external systems, including Github, Subversion, Capistrano, PivotalTracker and Bugzilla. During the MIW, a full-featured, mobile version of Spry was built. It uses the
Spry API, has a really sharp looking UI and is easy to use. Here are
screenshots and a demo video of how the app works.
mTools
mTools is creating a brand new vertical for mobile content. mTools points out the complexity of managing and transferring content from one device to another and solves this problem in an easy way. mTools allows you to manage and sync contacts, appointments, files, tasks and settings. mTools could be used for both general consumers and business customers. The main goal was getting a new, nice-looking and finger-oriented touch UI. You can see an original and modified UI on the screenshot below.
