Fino to Develop Apps on Windows 8 platform

Bangalore: Fino, a technology and consulting firm that delivers cloud and mobile solutions for enterprises, has announced that it will be developing mobile applications on Windows 8. Fino's support for Windows 8 builds on the firm's renowned development capabilities for Apple's iOS platform. Their services have been widely embraced by several Fortune 1000 companies - most notably Hess, for whom they have developed a suite of award-winning iOS sales applications.

Fino provides mobile application design, development and consulting services to organizations and services to a wide-range of industries including finance, energy, media, retail and not-for-profit institutions.

"As longtime Microsoft partners, we're very excited about the mobile capabilities of Windows 8," said Brian Fino, Managing Director of Fino. "We work with our clients to develop exceptional cloud-based mobile applications that deliver tremendous business value. In this space, Apple has been our vendor of choice. However, the upcoming hardware offerings running Windows 8 provide a viable alternative to the iPad. And that will make our Enterprise clients very happy."

Fino will begin developing apps for the Windows 8 platform immediately, and is re-designing some of its iOS applications and offerings for Windows 8. "Windows 8 presents a new design paradigm that is focused around information and typography," says Chad Haas, Creative Director of Fino. Fino is applying Metro designs to its applications in sales, banking, education, and other enterprise capabilities.
