In August 2010, Studio Symposium was contacted by Standard Publishing to develop an updated version of their application for 365 Devotions. The original version had grown to acquire a large audience, and the team at Standard Publishing was looking into new ways to derive a return on their investment.
Our team worked tirelessly with them to produce a list of upgrades and improvements to the application that were applicable in a timely fashion without being overly costly. After a few delays in the brainstorming cycle, finally, in May 2010, Studio Symposium was able to green light the project. Taking a bit of a different approach to client management, we invited them to view the progress on their own project by bringing them on board our web-based project management tool “Basecamp”. The transparency was a welcome change to previous development efforts, and enabled Standard Publishing to get an in-depth, hands on experience with software development.
The hands-on interaction with Standard Publishing, coupled with Studio Symposium’s professional development cycle, enabled Studio Symposium to deliver an application that was fast, comprehensive, and feature-complete in the exact time frame and budget allotted. One the application was released, the managing member of the project, Nick Pitzer, had this to say about our development team:
“The Studio Symposium team has helped take our mobile apps to the next level! The great service and professionalism that was given to us is rare to find without breaking the bank, these guys are honest and will fight to be the best at what they do. I can’t wait to see the innovative projects they come up with in the future!”
We, too, look forward to working with Nick Pitzer and Standard Publishing as a partner of Studio Symposium’s in the future!
