Outpace your competition with a great mobile presence.
The Mobile Application Development service delivers a complete mobile application to the marketplace. Complete means that the mobile application is fully market-ready, is set up to provide the greatest possible value to our customer (you), and is ready to realize the business goals for which it was intended.
The service spans the entire early application and business lifecycle – from Idea through Release-to-Market. In broad terms, this means:
- Concept
- Market planning
- Brand planning and development
- Design and user experience
- Infrastructure setup
- Development
- Testing
- Release management
- And much, much more
Types of Mobile Applications
The Mobile Application Development service can deliver any of the three primary types of mobile application.
- Native application
- Progressive, or Hybrid application
- Responsive Web application
Each of these types of mobile application has pros and cons. We collaborate with the customer so the decision they make is informed, and takes into consideration the near-term, and long-term goals of the application.
Our Delivery Model
Mauka Technology employs a proprietary delivery model to achieve critical business objectives. The delivery model is derived from years of cross-industry experience, true lifecycle management experience, and our involvement in various software development methodologies. We have seen what works, what does not work, how various industries mitigate risk and solve problems, and we have lived with the decisions we have made – so we understand the impact of our decisions.
The Mauka Delivery Model is a gated process. The three most critical business objectives that our delivery model addresses are:
- Business alignment
- Cost management
- Risk mitigation
No obligation - No vendor lock-in
No Obligation
In keeping with our core principle of treating others as we would want to be treated, there is no obligation working with Mauka. There are no long-term contracts. Customers may stop work with Mauka with 30 day notice.
No Vendor Lock-in
We do not believe in vendor lock-in. In fact, we believe that it should be as easy as possible for a customer to switch software development strategies. We have been in the customers’ shoes – more than once.
- Easy to transfer all code and infrastructure to the customer, or to another development firm, if needed
- Full technical and business documentation
- Standard coding practices make it easy for another team to assume development or maintenance
Hosting Option
Owning a mobile application is complex. There are numerous accounts and platforms involved in the creation and distribution of a mobile application. The work required to maintain the software and the infrastructure is non-stop and non-ending. Many of our customers are not familiar with these requirements and have a primary business to run. We want customers to confidently pursue their ideas. That is why we offer mobile application hosting for a flat monthly fee. We take on the complexity and work required to keep the customer application running.
- Infrastructure support
- Full application maintenance (see the maintenance section, below)
- Application tuning and optimization
- Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity (DR/BC)
- Application monitoring and alerts
- A set number of business consultation hours
- A set number of development hours for minor changes
- Monthly releases and release management
Maintenance Option
The maintenance service, billed monthly, helps the customer mobile application run smoothly and free of interruption. The maintenance plan is included in the Hosting Option.
Maintenance includes:
- Evaluation and upkeep of 3rd party published changes, such as changes by Apple, Google, Facebook, and others that may affect the function of the customer’s mobile application.
- Mobile application monitoring, alerts and notifications
The Importance of Mobile
Mobile applications allow companies to keep their brands in the forefront of the consumers' attention and offers increased understanding of consumers' behaviors, habits, and preferences.
With mobile applications, brands can insert themselves into the decision making process and make it easier for customers to choose their brand over other alternatives.
