Begin Your Journey
Vector-z Mobile is a mobile application development service that 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). Complete also means the app is ready to realize the business goals for which it was intended. Vector-z Mobile leverages our Certus™ operating system to ensure our customers succeed in their business objectives.
The service spans the entire early application and business lifecycle – from Idea through marketplace success.
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 leverages our Certus product operating system in all of our software development services. Certus is the result of our internal research program and was created to solve the problem of high failure rates in software product development.
- Lower risk
- Lower cost
- Great business alignment
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.
