Back in 2007, Bank South Pacific (BSP) gave us a contract to produce a visual signature verification software to run on a CD-ROM for their management. We’re happy to say that several years later they have been able to trust us again to develop a mobile application for them.
I don’t blame big companies for sending allot of software work overseas, because lets face it, PNG hardly has a huge software industry. So its heartening to have big companies trust small local businesses to take on such work for them.
Besides ourselves there are some good local software developers like KJ Dada, National Data Systems, KH Consulting, IsiLink IT and so on. It’s a slowly emerging industry that would benefit from some business support from larger companies.
For BSP’s mobile app, they wanted a software that would simulate mobile banking so that they could use it for training and customer awareness instead of using real mobile banking accounts. We were able to create a stand alone application which could be loaded onto a Java enabled phone for their training officers.
