Centigrade forms partnership with Potix Corporation
Centigrade GmbH, the service provider that commits to excellence in usability engineering, user interface design and user interface development, announced today that it has joined in a partnership with the leading open source Rich Internet Application (RIA) solution provider Potix Corporation. Centigrade and Potix will be working together to raise the bar in web and mobile user experience.“We regard this partnership as a perfect match.” stated Thomas Immich, managing director and co-founder of Centigrade. “We share a strong conviction that web and mobile applications should in no way lag behind desktop applications in terms of user experience. Still nowadays, the architectural quirks of most web frameworks have a negative impact on the usability of respective applications. ZK, the Ajax solution created by Potix, allows developers to write web and mobile applications as straightforward and intuitive as writing desktop applications, bridging this gap in an unprecedented way.“
In addition to being the most popular open source Ajax framework on SourceForge, ZK has recently extended the reach of enterprise internet applications to 1.8 billion mobile devices running Java ME and Google Android. “The combination of a large open source community and a strong Java technology that is broadly available even on mobile devices is a very attractive foundation for us to integrate our services with.” Mr. Immich continues.
“We welcome Centigrade as our technology partner”, said Jean Yen, product manager at Potix. “Fostering the easy creation of Rich Internet Applications has been our credo ever since we made the ZK framework available on SourceForge. Creating rich and usable user interfaces, however, is more than having the right technology in place: it is also about solid interaction design and stunning visual design. We regard these complementary aspects as being strongly represented in Centigrade’s comprehensive service portfolio.”
Jean Yen further highlights Centigrade’s expertise in the field of look and feel development and visual theming as a key factor for partnering with the company: “A splendid custom visual look is a competitive advantage for all software products, regardless whether they are running on the desktop, the web or on a mobile device. The numerous customization projects that Centigrade successfully conducted, is proof that its team excels in this discipline.”
