A solid understanding of the market, business stakeholders, targets, goals, and competitors will make it much easier to identify which teams have the most experience developing on similar execution strategies. Tech partnership underlies some global brands too. Let’s take a closer look at some of the famous key technology partnerships.
1.Pivotal and Ford
With the help of Pivotal Labs, Ford has designed a brand new customer experience named FordPass. FordPass is a mobile application that lets users interact with their vehicles and perform various tasks. FordPass consists of four main components: FordPass Marketplace, FordPass Perks, FordGuides, and FordHubs. Marketplace allows members to buy, sell, and share mobility solutions. Guides on the other hand offer concierge support and roadside assistance. There is also a built-loyalty program and roadside assistance - the app offers smart parking, maintenance scheduling, unlocking, starting, fuel check, and much more.
Users, who don’t need to even necessarily own a Ford vehicle, can also reserve parking spaces and find and compare gas prices in the area, and we have to admit it, that’s something.
Pivotal Labs works side-by-side with Ford developers, helping them learn agile foundations and other processes like continuous integration and delivery. With an up-to-date approach to software development and the help of Pivotal, Ford brought FordPass to market in record time. The strategic partnership of Pivotal and Ford results in constant testing new ideas and eliciting user feedback.
2. Geeks and Harley Street Connect
Harley Street Connect, a team of passionate physicians dreaming of being a part of the evolution in personalized care, wanted to create an application that puts the private medical sector at patients’ fingertips and greatly improves the patient/doctor relationship. The system would manage and archive patient data to increase promising experience for both parties.
Geeks - a London software agency - understands, that for centuries patients have struggled to communicate with their personal doctor beyond scheduled appointments. What's more patients have been also given limited access to their medical data and the possibilities to analyze it.
Both Harley Street Connect and Geeks wanted to resolve these issues and understand that due to the sensitive nature of the information patients needed to know that their data was safe. That's how MyOwnDoc has been delivered to the world.
MyOwnDoc - custom software delivered by Geeks - includes a website, web and mobile app. It allows patients to connect to some of the world’s best private health care professionals via a secure messaging system. They can instantly view their medical data and even request a second opinion from another doctor.
3. Order Group and AP-TECH
The AP-TECH company came out with a bold vision of breaking the monopoly on the market of navigation systems for pilots. That is how Clear AirSpace app was born. We’ve been responsible for creating a reliable multiplatform application that aggregates and displays navigational, weather and topographic data on a map with a diverse structure from many sources - simultaneously. Eventually, we have managed to create a tool that can compete with the products of the aviation market leaders.
Air navigation applications are currently the domain of large and well-known international companies of the aviation industry, such as Boeing or Airbus. However, the solutions they provide do not take into account the individual needs of smaller institutions using air transport, such as emergency medical services, transport companies, or private carriers.
When there is room for a reliable and multiplatform application that aggregates and displays navigational, weather, and topographic data on the map with diverse structures from many sources, therefore why shouldn't we make it real? In Order Group we were sure our app should integrate and display data from international air traffic management institutions, operate in difficult conditions, on different systems (iOS, Windows) and devices (tablet, desktop), also offline.
Close cooperation with the client who became almost a member of our team has been of high importance during the implementation of this project. Clear AirSpace has been created thanks to the commitment, knowledge, and experience of the client in the field of aviation and the skills of a dedicated programming team that has not changed since the start of work.
