What are Desktop Solutions?

It was the desktop that started the computer revolution. So, it is not a surprise that the desktop still finds itself at the heart of modern computing even if people love to use their smartphones to do a lot of things.

The desktop still remains a reliable, friendly and easy-to-use platform. Some prefer using the Windows OS, some prefer macOS and some, the Linux variants. But, the core experience that all these different platforms offer is still the primary factor behind the continued usage of the desktop.
‍
However, building and maintaining apps for all these platforms can be tedious and expensive. With advances in technology and the introduction of frameworks such as ElectronJS, building and maintaining apps for all these platforms to satisfy a broad set of users has now become a lot easier. Electron makes it possible to maintain one codebase to serve for all these platforms and offer the opportunity to develop apps for these platforms using familiar web based technologies such as Javascript, HTML & CSS.

We have used Electron to build desktop apps for hundreds and thousands of users for multiple platforms and drastically different environments. Our teams have very rich experience in building Electron apps. We are also an active contributor to the Microsoft maintained ElectronJS framework itself!

Cost Benefits

We provide these services at competitive costs, yet keeping the quality of work at expected levels. A key benefit, that is light on your budget allowing you to scale and move faster.

What is the approach?

If you are looking to outsource your desktop apps development and deployment to us, we typically perform certain procedures to give you the maximum value for your investment and time.

1. Requirements Gathering and Analysis

We start with collecting the set of requirements you have for the app. We follow that with doing a thorough analysis of the requirements from a functional, user experience, security and performance perspectives.

2. Designing the Solution

Once the requirements have been analysed, the right solution is architected considering the multiple perspectives mentioned above, along with timelines and the available budget.

3. Developing the Apps

Once the solution has been designed, the apps are developed using an agile approach based on the priority of features required on a milestone basis. We use modern, secure and scalable technologies that contribute to a better, more secure and performant experience for the consumer.

4. Testing the Apps

Once the features have been developed, we test these apps on the different platforms, devices and environments we expect the users of the apps to use it in. This gives a sense of confidence and eliminates unpredictability.

5. Deployment and Maintenance

Finally, your app is made available to users through binary files and/or through the Windows Store and/or macOS App Store. For enhancements and new features, the steps from 1 to 5 is repeated.
