Case Studies - Vaultus Mobile Technologies

"bitHeads’ unique expertise in mobile application usability and product development for the BlackBerry is a great addition to our team that accelerates and de-risks the roll-out of this critical product for our customer. We use offshore providers for some development work; however, for this type of project, we needed a local partner like bitHeads with specialized skill and experience."

CEO, Vaultus

Accelerating the delivery of an award-winning BlackBerry® stock trading application

Project Description:

When Vaultus faced an opportunity with a tight timeline to provide a BlackBerry application that would enable real-time mobile stock trading for a leading on-line financial services company, it needed to bolster its capability to quickly design and build a highly usable mobile interface that would integrate with the customer's back-end trading system. Since the application would be available to millions of users in dozens of countries, it had to achieve extremely high levels of usability, security and scalability.

The bitHeads Solution:

Vaultus selected bitHeads as a development partner for this high profile project based on a referral from BlackBerry maker RIM and bitHeads' 10-year track record of reliably building innovative mobile applications. Under the partnership, bitHeads deployed a team of BlackBerry usability experts, designers and quality assurance professionals to work as an extension to the in-house staff at Vaultus.

Results:

The stock-trading application was successfully launched and immediately became an award-winning service that securely manages a high volume of financial transactions.
