Project Solution

Apriorit developed the client-side connectors for iOS, Android, Mac, and Linux that establish remote connections to the client's backend servers and built both client and server pieces for various connectors. They implemented protocol enhancements such as flash and USB redirection across connector versions and provided substantial QA support. At peak Apriorit staffed up to 18 people on the engagement and functioned as an extension of the client's team rather than a pure project contractor.

Project Outcome

The product became one of the best on the market and recently entered maintenance mode after acquisition.
Apriorit met release schedules and integrated as an extension of the client's team, improving collaboration and delivery.
Minimal staff turnover with only five developer changes during eight years aided continuity.
