A client-oriented team, all members responded quickly to stakeholder requests. They were a reliable group with a straightforward communication style. Their problem solving skills were a strength. ""They exceeded our expectations and delivered what they promised." " **BACKGROUND** Introduce your business and what you do there. I’m the global director of education for the dental division of Zimmer Biomet Institute, a global orthopedic company. We are a world leader in dental education. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** What challenge were you trying to address with Atmosphere Apps? We wanted to create a personal mobile app where people could access all of our educational material in one location. The users would monitor their current training, including their continuing education credits. **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement? Initially, we offered some ideas and branding parameters, and then they took the lead on platform design. They showed us examples of apps, and we chose to base our app off one of those concepts. They developed a hybrid iOS and Android mobile app where users can access a wide variety of information related to their education. They added functionalities such as push notifications and products tied to education opportunities. They taught us how to manage the product offerings through the WordPress backend. The team used a sandbox for beta testing, and they recently launched a phase two app with more functionalities.  What is the team composition? We have monthly conversations with Eric (CEO, Atmosphere Apps). We interacted with at least 12 people, with 3–4 main contact points. An offshore team performed the development. How did you come to work with Atmosphere Apps? We scoured the market for app developers and researched the providers our company has worked with in the past. Then, we started looking for reviews or recommendations from other companies in the industry. We selected Atmosphere Apps out of 16 vendors, based on a referral from one of the vendors we work with.  How much have you invested with them? We’ve invested $50,000-$100,000. What is the status of this engagement? We worked with Atmosphere Apps from December 2017 through May 2018. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement? They exceeded our expectations and delivered what they promised. In under a year, we’ve had 6,000 app downloads across 71 different countries. Any app deletions have had nothing to do with the functionality of the platform. Atmosphere Apps built an application that performs seamlessly. How did Atmosphere Apps perform from a project management standpoint? After giving them a task, they met all of our requirements and deadlines. Their communication was always straightforward and transparent via the email, the phone, and conference calls. Also, they abided by the outlined budget.   What did you find most impressive about them? The CEO was extremely attentive, and others within the company were just as responsive. They always advised stakeholders about timeline adjustments, extra costs, or technical challenges.  None of the issues we encountered were caused by the vendor. Notably, when we encountered issues with a Cvent API, Atmosphere Apps found a way to solve the problem by creating new software. The fact that they solved another vendors’ issue was very impressive to us. Now, we promote them within our organization as our app company of choice. Are there any areas they could improve? It would have been nice if every six months in between projects, we could have had a creative conversation where they offered beneficial suggestions. However, that isn’t a criticism as we never offered them that opportunity during the partnership.  Do you have any advice for potential customers? Future clients should thoroughly consider the desired app storyboard, visual aesthetics, and functionalities prior to meeting with the vendor. --- #### Mobile App Dev for Fossil Enthusiasts **The Project** - Services: Mobile App Development - Project size: $50,000 to $199,999 - Project length: Feb. 2018 - Ongoing **Project Summary**: Atmosphere Apps designed and developed an interactive website using BuddyPress and WordPress to connect a disparate user base nationwide. It includes discussion forums, an event calendar, and photo uploads.  **Review Rating**: 4.5 - Quality: 4.5 - Schedule: 4.5 - Cost: 4.0 - Willing to Refer: 4.5 **The Reviewer** Distinguished Professor, University of Florida - Industry: Energy & natural resources - Review Type: Phone Interview - Verified **The Review** — Nov 15, 2018 **Feedback Summary**: Atmosphere Apps delivered a best-in-class website that adeptly fulfilled every requirement at a high level of quality. The intended target user base is downloading the app on a consistent basis and provides uniformly positive feedback. The team is transparent, communicative, and responsive.   "“We couldn’t have achieved the same success without Atmosphere Apps’ professional development knowledge.” " **BACKGROUND** Introduce your business and what you do there. I’m a distinguished professor at the University of Florida. The National Science Foundation funded my project to build a national network for those interested in fossils and paleontology. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** What challenge were you trying to address with Atmosphere Apps? We needed to develop a website to connect fossil clubs and their members with other people who are interested in paleontology throughout the entire United States. Our primary challenge was to create a site that could engage a geographically distributed audience. We had previously built a WordPress website in-house. Since it looked amateur and rudimentary, we needed professional development help to make it highly interactive and easy for people to contribute to. We wanted the site to let users upload pictures of fossils, develop discussion forums, and plan event calendars. **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement? Based on our request for open source technology, Atmosphere Apps designed and developed our website using WordPress and BuddyPress. Currently, they’re working on iOS and Android apps that interface with the platform. They implemented the forum and calendar features we requested. During our many brainstorming sessions, they listened and took notes. Based on these meetings, they produced materials like wireframes to prepare to develop the website. We’ve used an ongoing, iterative process to improve the site over the past three years.  As we continue to build out the site, we regularly add new functionalities. At some point, the project will be over, and we might need to tweak the site in-house. Even if Atmosphere Apps stays involved in a maintenance phase, we want the option to make changes and updates without requiring proprietary coding. What is the team composition?  We primarily interact with Eric (CEO, Atmosphere Apps). Over the past year and a half, we’ve also worked with a project manager. They have additional resources in their offices in Gainesville, MD and an entire facility in Poland.  How did you come to work with Atmosphere Apps? We reached out to Atmosphere Apps because they’re a local company and they came recommended by our colleague. How much have you invested with them? We’ve spent about $100,000-$150,000. What is the status of this engagement? We’ve been working together since February 2018. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement? The main success of our website project was having over 1,000 participants. We couldn’t have achieved the same success without Atmosphere Apps’ professional knowledge of development.  They have extensive experience in making mobile apps, as well. The system they built is very streamlined and has worked as intended. After starting in February, they had finished a fully functional app by the summer.  Our apps are currently available for download. We launched to an internal community this summer and went live for the public to discover our product this fall. Every day, our community’s membership increases.  We’ve conducted ongoing user testing to gather feedback and continuously improve the app. There are always minor change and upgrades to make in subsequent phases. After the initial phase one rollout, we saw a very positive reaction from the community. We were quite pleased with the app’s reception.  How did Atmosphere Apps perform from a project management standpoint? We maintain an open line of communication that’s enhanced by periodic meetings. Our process of holding regularly scheduled Skype meetings to go over progress and pending tasks has worked very well. The project manager uses Slack to contact us. We can also send him messages and feedback directly through the website. He logs our comments in a dedicated Trello board.  What did you find most impressive about them? Both the CEO and project manager are great communicators. Despite his role, Eric makes us feel like he takes a personal, vested interest in our project. He doesn’t merely delegate everything to the project manager. Instead, he frequently participates in our Skype calls. Are there any areas they could improve? No. In the beginning, we didn’t know the most effective way to correspond. By working together, we successfully optimized our mode of communication. I’m happy with the interaction we’ve had with Atmosphere Apps. Do you have any advice for potential customers? Establish a system of communication with periodic updates. Having frequent face-to-face video meetings is the most effective method. They typically schedule a 30-minute check-in once or twice a month. When we need to have a major brainstorming session, we physically meet for several hours to hash out the details. --- #### Native Mobile App for Pharmaceutical Firm **The Project** - Services: Mobile App Development - Project size: $200,000 to $999,999 - Project length: Jan. 2011 - Jan. 2012 **Project Summary**: Atmosphere Apps created a digital pharmaceutical resource for a MedEd company. The app includes images, reference guides, and product information and was originally developed for iOS, Android, and BlackBerry. **Review Rating**: 5.0 - Quality: 5.0 - Schedule: 5.0 - Cost: 4.0 - Willing to Refer: 5.0 **The Reviewer** VP, Client Services, PRI Healthcare Solutions - Industry: Other industries - Client size: 11-50 Employees - Review Type: Phone Interview - Verified **The Review** — Nov 12, 2018 **Feedback Summary**: Six years after launch, usage holds steady and engagement remains strong. Atmosphere Apps is responsive and suggests creative improvements to the interface. Their innovation bolsters best practices, UX, and the product’s toehold in the marketplace. "“They’re truly an extension of our team.” " **BACKGROUND** Introduce your business and what you do there. We are the MedEd division of a media conglomerate. We do custom medical education across digital, print, and live platforms. I am V.P. of client services and manage a team across all our different verticals. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** What challenge were you trying to address with Atmosphere Apps? A long-term client managed a printed drug reference that matches branded products to their generic versions and vice versa. We wanted to build an app that contained all the same images, dosing, strength, and other information found in the print version. **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement? We provided them with the print version, which was a much flatter representation of what we hoped to build. They worked with us to create a digital interface that coordinated with the print version, but was more accessible. In addition to images, streams, and other functionality, they’ve also helped us implement notations, include proprietary product information, and create A to Z listings for name brand products and their generic counterparts. We originally built the app for iOS, Android, and BlackBerry. The BlackBerry version has since phased out, but we still maintain the iOS and Android versions. What is the team composition? We’ve had one main point of contact for the full length of our relationship. How did you come to work with Atmosphere Apps? They support native applications for our parent company, which is how we first knew about them. We’ve worked with other companies in the past, but this is the most complicated app we’ve worked on and we wanted an experienced firm to help us. How much have you invested with them? We’ve spent between $300,000–$500,000. What is the status of this engagement? Work began in 2011. We launched the app in 2012 and continued to add features and make changes. It’s still running. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement? The evidence we track includes downloads and usage. Our client is very happy with user engagement with the app and the number of new downloads. This is an app we don’t heavily promote, but it is frequently utilized by both new and existing users. How did Atmosphere Apps perform from a project management standpoint? I love working with them. They’re very responsive and always recommend ways to make the interface better. When it comes to client correspondence and app store requirements, they’re truly an extension of our team. Most of our communication is through phone and email. What did you find most impressive about them? Pharma is a challenging marketplace, but they are always looking for ways to apply best practices to apps and to our space in general. I appreciate their innovative and unique ideas to improve usability and UX. Are there any areas they could improve? Based on our experience with them, there’s nothing they should improve. Do you have any advice for potential customers? Be open to their ideas. One area they really excel in is their ability to find solutions and creative approaches to challenges. They will find ways to bring your project to life. --- #### Android App Dev for 3D Audio Technology Firm **The Project** - Services: Mobile App Development - Project size: Confidential - Project length: July - Oct. 2018 **Project Summary**: Atmosphere Apps provided Android application development services, working on a complex system that adjusts and handles different levels of audio. They worked on graphics services and technical solutions. **Review Rating**: 5.0 - Quality: 5.0 - Schedule: 5.0 - Cost: 4.5 - Willing to Refer: 5.0 **The Reviewer** Chief Product Officer & VP Engineering, BACCH Labs - Industry: Arts, entertainment & music - Client size: 1-10 Employees - Review Type: Phone Interview - Verified **The Review** — Nov 8, 2018 **Feedback Summary**: The team has exceeded every expectation, with their retention for several phases of the project speaking to the quality of their team and the deliverables. They integrate well into the in-house team, while always communicating effectively and keeping their promises. "“They provide the right solution to the right level of quality.” " **BACKGROUND** Introduce your business and what you do there. Yaron Kaufman: We’re a New Jersey-based company building products in the 3D audio market, for different types of solutions, from mobile to computers. Sam is the VP of engineering, and I’m the chief product officer. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** What challenge were you trying to address with Atmosphere Apps? YK: We needed some resources to help us create a proof-of-concept for a customer, and they had to have development experience that we didn’t have internally at the time. We approached Atmosphere Apps for the work, and we’ve used them twice. We came back to them because the first one was a success, especially in how we worked and interacted with them. We’re about to call them again because we’re very happy with how they’re operating. **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement? Sam Caldwell: The scope involved several different applications. We ran an Android service that manipulated certain configurations to control our processing routines running in the Android operating system. We defined the requirements, then delivered those to Atmosphere. It was a complex setup: we had to respond to orientation and volume level changes on the device—whether audio was playing or not, and so on. YK: In terms of the overall look, they went above and beyond what we asked for. They were involved, they gave us ideas, and they were knowledgeable when it came to finding solutions. We’ve also received graphics services from Atmosphere, both for the application we created and as company marketing materials. What is the team composition? YK: We worked directly with Eric (CEO, Atmosphere Apps). We also worked with a developer directly under Eric, and that person is someone I’d absolutely hire on my own team. He was assigned to both stages of the project and will be assigned for the third time. How did you come to work with Atmosphere Apps? YK: We chose them based on location. Their offices close enough to ours that we can knock on their door and talk to them. What is the status of this engagement? YK: We worked with Atmosphere in July–October 2018. The project was divided in two stages, and we’re about to start another one. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement? YK: We’re happy with the overall experience, and with the results so far. We were so successful after the first stage, that we moved to the next one, and we’re currently entering the third. I’ve worked in this business for 35 years, and, if I don’t receive the results I’m expecting from one outsourcer, I’ll move on to the next. Choosing Atmosphere for a third time without even looking into others confirms that the success rate with them has been 100%. SC: Their work is absolutely robust, and the architecture is everything. The project was well executed, and the development was well planned. They performed unit and system testing, which they did a fantastic job on. How did Atmosphere Apps perform from a project management standpoint? YK: We managed the project, so it was a matter of them becoming our team, with their resources integrated into it. They were definitely team players and they did exactly what was needed. The small amount of project management required on their side was done very well by Eric. We were in touch on a daily basis: whenever we needed him, and he was there to help and support, although we have some time and geographical differences. There was never where we had to wait for them. They were available, responsive, and very collaborative. We used Google Hangouts for daily discussions, during which we made sure that we were on track. SC: We wrote our own Microsoft Project plans, but we didn’t go to that level of sharing with Atmosphere. We just used a Git repository to manage the code, we kept our own lists, and we discussed it daily. What did you find most impressive about them? YK: If I choose a company three times, that is a testament to their abilities. SC: There will be a fourth and fifth time because so far, they’ve delivered exactly what we’ve needed them to. They provide the right solution to the right level of quality, at the right price. I’ve worked with many outsourcers, and I know a few other good ones, but Atmosphere definitely receives an A++ from me. Are there any areas they could improve? SC: I can’t think of anything for them to change. We’ve used other companies for other parts of the project and none of them are still working for us. Atmosphere kept their promises and achieved the best result. Do you have any advice for future clients of theirs? YK: Clients need to hire Atmosphere and experience their services for themselves. They’re very easy to handle, so there’s no magic trick for me to explain. It was straightforward, with daily communication, but not too much, because it wasn’t needed. Clients should give the team the right tools, and not block them in any way. If access to a platform is provided in time, then everything will run smoothly. --- #### Web Dev & App Support for Advertising Agency **The Project** - Services: Mobile App Development - Project size: $10,000 to $49,999 - Project length: Dec. 2017 - Ongoing **Project Summary**: Atmosphere Apps provides ongoing website development, app support (iOS and Android), and business development proposals. **Review Rating**: 5.0 - Quality: 5.0 - Schedule: 5.0 - Cost: 5.0 - Willing to Refer: 5.0 **The Reviewer** Executive Director, PR Agency - Industry: Advertising & marketing - Client size: 51-200 Employees - Review Type: Phone Interview - Verified **The Review** — Jun 7, 2018 **Feedback Summary**: Client feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, leading to more work for Atmosphere Apps. They also bring creative ideas of their own to the table. Their consistent communication, responsiveness, and ability to work within strict parameters justify the investment and make them a valuable partner. ""As a result of Atmosphere delivering the site on time, the client has since hired us for two new projects." " **BACKGROUND** Introduce your business and what you do there. I'm the executive director of a professional advertising and PR agency based at a university in Florida. We have a team of five professionals and about 130 students, and we do work for a variety of clients. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** What challenge were you trying to address with Atmosphere Apps? We develop websites and apps, and sometimes we need greater technical expertise than we have in-house. So we were looking for more depth in the digital space. **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement? They’ve worked on various websites, both our own site for the agency as well as for some of our clients. They’ve also helped us fine-tune some apps that we developed for both iOS and Android. They follow a stringent process that involves wireframes and making revisions along the way. What is the team composition? I usually deal with Eric (CEO, Atmosphere Apps), and then our respective teams work together. Eric is also involved in most project meetings. How did you come to work with Atmosphere Apps? Another company introduced us to them a couple of years ago. They have a great reputation, and as soon as I met Eric I could tell he is a quality guy. How much have you invested with them? We’ve spent around $50,000. What is the status of this engagement? We started working together in December 2017 and the engagement is ongoing. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement? We just completed a project that had a really tough deadline. It was a website for a local construction developer, which needed to be done on a certain date because of a big community event. The Atmosphere team worked overnight several nights to make sure it was done on time. The client was thrilled with the site and we were extremely happy with their work. As a result of Atmosphere delivering the site on time, the client has since hired us for two new projects. How did Atmosphere Apps perform from a project management standpoint? Anytime you use an external firm, you worry about their ability to deliver the projects within the specified price range and time frame. It's important that you can rely on your partners to do what they say they're going to do. I've been very pleased with Atmosphere. They're conscientious. They’re good about advising us when a change would throw off the schedule. They communicate well and have excellent client skills. They’re professional in every way. What did you find most impressive about them? They've been generous and diligent about participating with us in new business proposals. Those involve a lot of time spent on ideation and you don't always win, which means there's not always a return. They’re always willing to jump into those meetings with us and offer creative ideas. Any advice for potential customers? Listen to their ideas and what they have to offer. Atmosphere frequently provides creative solutions that we hadn't previously considered. --- #### Native Mobile App Dev. for Medical Field Professionals **The Project** - Services: Mobile App Development - Project size: Confidential - Project length: Jan. 2016 - Jan. 2018 **Project Summary**: Atmosphere Apps built native apps for iOS and Android for multiple brands working from provided wireframes or developing new designs. **Review Rating**: 5.0 - Quality: 5.0 - Schedule: 5.0 - Cost: 5.0 - Willing to Refer: 5.0 **The Reviewer** VP, Product Management & Ad Operation, Haymarket - Industry: Media - Client size: 1-10 Employees - Review Type: Phone Interview - Verified **The Review** — May 17, 2018 **Feedback Summary**: The apps work well and user feedback has been positive as received both directly from clients and via the App Store. Atmosphere Apps takes a responsive, attentive, and flexible approach, working hard to understand the business challenges and meet deadlines. "“They understand our business and the challenges we face, but also the opportunities for our users.” " **BACKGROUND** Introduce your business and what you do there. I’m the VP for product management and ad operations at Haymarket Media Inc., part of the wider Haymarket Group, an international media company working in specialized markets. We specialize in two key markets in the US—a B2B side and a medical side. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** What challenge were you trying to address with Atmosphere Apps? We could see that more users were moving towards mobile. We needed someone to produce fantastic apps for us in the native app space. We needed to push out very timely content as well as content that requires a unique display and user interface within mobile. **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement? We work with Atmosphere Apps to produce native apps for both iOS and Android for the medical side of a business. They produced native apps for us across our brands. Our continuing medical education app, for example, provides educational materials for healthcare professionals seeking to earn credits for continuing education. The drug monograph app—another example—allows users to browse for prescribing information for all drugs in the market both off- and online. We’ve been working with them for a couple of years now. Sometimes we provide them with wireframes and collaborate to improve on them. Other times they propose designs or wireframes to us based on conversations we’ve had about what I’m thinking. We deliver targeted ads to our users. About a year ago, they proactively proposed ideas for how to embed ads within the apps themselves based on the trends in how people use their phones and read content on them. They overhauled the user interface and produced the wireframes. They worked closely with us to ensure that our ads are viewable in the apps. What is the team composition? I work closely with their CEO plus two others, one on the tech side and one on the product side. How did you come to work with Atmosphere Apps? Their engagement with us predates me joining the company. What is the status of this engagement? We’ve been working together for more than two years now. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement? We get user reviews on the App Store that are, by and large, very positive. We also get reviews from clients. Both of our apps work really well and we always get positive user feedback. How did Atmosphere Apps perform from a project management standpoint? I communicate with the team through Trello. They work closely with our in-house development team. We connect on a weekly basis to make sure that projects are on track. We're often up against tight deadlines. They deal with that in a really professional way, working hard to help us to meet them. We tend to take more of a waterfall approach, working to define deadlines, but they’re open to different approaches. They’re very collaborative and flexible in terms of allowing us to move in whatever directions we need, taking different approaches and even using internal resources if we so choose. What did you find most impressive about them? They understand our business very well, which is really important when you're working with a partner. They understand our business and the challenges we face, but also the opportunities for our users. Their responsiveness is also great. We particularly get a high level of attention from the CEO. Do you have any advice for potential customers? Have a clear outline of what you want to do that you can bring to the partnership. Atmosphere Apps will work with you to flesh it out. They can probe and ask the right questions to get you to a strong starting point. --- #### Mobile App Dev. for Roommate Selection Platform **The Project** - Services: Mobile App Development - Project size: Confidential - Project length: June 2014 - Dec. 2017 **Project Summary**: Atmosphere Apps provided UX design research and frontend development for a roommate matching mobile app on both Android and iOS. They collaborated with a backend dev team and will provide ongoing support. **Review Rating**: 5.0 - Quality: 5.0 - Schedule: 5.0 - Cost: 5.0 - Willing to Refer: 5.0 **The Reviewer** RoomSync, President - Industry: Education - Client size: 1-10 Employees - Review Type: Phone Interview - Verified **The Review** — Dec 20, 2017 **Feedback Summary**: Along with the high quality of the soon-to-be-released end product, Atmosphere’s team’s commitment to quick communication and adaptability helped to streamline the whole process. They were able to stay within budget and they wisely challenged suggestions that they believed to be ill advised. ""We had never ventured into the mobile development space before and they were very good about adapting as needed." " **BACKGROUND** Introduce your business and what you do there. I am the president and co-founder of RoomSync, which provides roommate matching software for colleges, universities, and apartment communities **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** What challenge were you trying to address with Atmosphere Apps? We had a very minimal mobile presence and wanted to transition into that space. Since we did not have the relevant development capabilities internally, we needed a frontend mobile dev team to create both an Android and iOS app for us. **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement? Prior to the start of the official development stage, Atmosphere Apps provided us with UX research and design, including detailed information and sketches of their proposal. There was a certain amount of back and forth during the discovery phase, but most of the design of the app was on their end. Our team built the APIs and the backend, while they were in charge of the frontend and making sure the app we built was useful and functional. What is the team composition? Our collaboration included two project managers, and I believe that their team included four or five developers, although there may have been others. How did you come to work with Atmosphere Apps? A trusted friend referred me to them. Although we could have taken their initial research and design piece to another shop, we were impressed with their work such that we decided to engage them to do the development as well the discovery. What is the status of this engagement? We began working with them in Jun 2014, and although the app itself is scheduled to launch in December 2017, we have an ongoing relationship with them. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement? At the time of this review, we are getting ready to do a soft launch. I have been selling the app for the past couple of years, with wide demos on screen shares. Although we have no concrete metrics as of yet, the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. How did Atmosphere Apps perform from a project management standpoint? Their communication is great. We have had one point of contact, and he has been great at managing his developers and keeping us informed. We work a lot in Slack, and they were very flexible about coming into our spot channel, which increased productivity for everyone by giving them the ability to work within our established communications methods. We also used a good project tracking tool. They were very responsive throughout the process, which was particularly impressive considering that they have people working in both the U.S. and in Europe. Without fail, I had answers to my emails and questions within a day, no matter what time it would have been for them locally. What did you find most impressive about them? One thing that they did particularly well was dealing with unknowns. We had never ventured into the mobile development space before and they were very good about adapting as needed to accommodate for our lack of experience. They were able to understand that sometimes our expectations would need to change as the work progressed, and they worked alongside us to modify the documentation and ensure that the API continued to work with those changes. Their flexibility was a great strength. Are there any areas they could improve? The only thing that I can think of is that not everyone on their team is a native English speaker. We got used to it over time, but at the outset it required a little adjustment on our part and resulted in a couple of minor misunderstandings. Do you have any advice for potential customers? Go through a proper discovery process and UX research phase in order to understand the problem and solution space into which you are entering. In our case, we were not initially interested in having Atmosphere Apps do additional discovery work because we thought we knew what we wanted. However, their expertise and work on the UX proposal brought forth a number of things that would never have occurred to us on our own, so it ended up being incredibly important that we listened to their advice. Listening to them ultimately likely saved us a lot of time and resources. --- #### Hospital Mobile App for PICU Practices **The Project** - Services: Mobile App Development - Project size: $10,000 to $49,999 - Project length: Jan. 2017 - Ongoing **Project Summary**: Atmosphere developed an educational resource app for pediatric residents, fellows, and trainees at a University hospital. Available on both iOS and Android, the app is optimized for use on phones and tablets. **Review Rating**: 5.0 - Quality: 5.0 - Schedule: 5.0 - Cost: 5.0 - Willing to Refer: 5.0 **The Reviewer** Pediatric Nurse Practitioner, University of Florida Pediatric Critical Care - Industry: Other industries - Client size: 51-200 Employees - Review Type: Phone Interview - Verified **The Review** — Nov 8, 2017 **Feedback Summary**: The app has 2000 users in its first 4 months. It's received universally positive feedback for design, functionality, and its positive impact on patient care in the children's hospital. "“Everything I asked for, they found a way to make it happen.” " **BACKGROUND** Introduce your business and what you do there. My name is Charlene Leonard. I'm a nurse practitioner in the pediatric critical care division at University of Florida’s College of Medicine. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** What challenge were you trying to address with Atmosphere Apps? To create an educational resource app for the pediatric department’s rotating residents, fellows, and trainees. Must be functional on iOS and Android, and user-friendly on both phones and tablets. **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement? I initially spoke with Eric Poirier [CEO, Atmosphere Apps] by phone to pitch the idea. A second call was held with a larger group from the team to discuss additional details about functionality. We agreed on a price and signed a contract. They created the look and feel of the app, and converted existing content from an iBook. Post launch, the team made any necessary adjustments. What is the team dynamic? I primarily worked with Eric and Max Jones [Project Manager, Atmosphere Apps]. How did you come to work with Atmosphere Apps? Several other developers weren't able to fulfill the vision for the app. Online research revealed that Atmosphere creates similar handbook-style apps. I liked their work so I contacted them to see if they would be interested in the project. I simultaneously requested a bid from the University’s in-house app development team. While they would be able to deliver the functionality of the app, the timeframe was twice as long and the costs were twice as expensive as Atmosphere. How much have you invested with them? We’ve spent about $30,000. What is the status of this engagement? The project began around January 2017 and is ongoing. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement? The app launched in July of 2017 and has 2000 current users; 1500 on iOS and 500 on Android. The feedback has been very positive about the appearance and function of the app. Results from a post-use survey revealed several residents believe that using the app led to improved patient care in the children's hospital. How did Atmosphere Apps perform from a project management standpoint? They were very consistent with all of their deadlines, and the process was very transparent. We communicate via email and phone calls. What did you find most impressive about them? They never say no, which is quite impressive. They’re receptive to anything I proposed, with the flexibility to make changes even after launch. Do you have any advice for potential customers? Come to the table with a strong project concept, and let the team guide you on how the app should look and function. --- #### Construction Mobile App Solution **The Project** - Services: Mobile App Development - Project size: $50,000 to $199,999 - Project length: Sep. 2016 - Mar. 2017 **Project Summary**: Atmosphere built a workflow solution in the form of an iOS, Android, and Microsoft app which provides real-time tracking of ticketing and dispatch services. They’re now helping refine and reach target markets. **Review Rating**: 5.0 - Quality: 5.0 - Schedule: 4.5 - Cost: 5.0 - Willing to Refer: 5.0 **The Reviewer** Founder, Construction Company - Industry: Other industries - Client size: 1-10 Employees - Review Type: Phone Interview - Verified **The Review** — Oct 26, 2017 **Feedback Summary**: They developed an efficient, accurate system that users can rely on, and every company that’s tested it has been thoroughly impressed. Atmosphere’s team is responsive and insightful, and always yielded a proactive and analytical approach. Promptitude and communication are also prominent strengths. "“They were very flexible in handling my idea, and believed in it as much as I did.”" **BACKGROUND** Introduce your business and what you do there. I’m the director of a commercial construction company. I also independently own another construction company. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** What challenge were you trying to address with Atmosphere Apps? My brain is good at coming up with ideas, but facilitating them is not my strong suit. We wanted to build an application strictly as a new entity separate from my other businesses. The app is for a system that’s never been built or developed before in the construction industry. **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement? Whenever I had the initial idea, I met with them to discuss and verify that is could be accomplished. After that initial meeting, they left their proposal, then returned with a set of wireframes. We went on to build the app for iOS, Android, and Microsoft devices. The long-haul industry is currently using many apps, like ones for semis that are transporting packages for many different companies. I realized that there was nobody tracking short-haul loads like dump trucks, concrete trucks, etc. The companies that own these vehicles had no way to properly bill or keep records of their trucks and materials they delivered. Most of these companies’ records determine whether they’ll make a profit or loss in a job, and it all comes down to accuracy. There’s nobody out there right now building anything other than paper tickets, and it’s the driver’s responsibility to make sure they return all of them. This process was inefficient because tickets would come back completely wrong, or they’d be forgotten, which all requires a huge amount of time on the part of the office staff to backtrack, figure out, facilitate with the quarry, then try to get the actual numbers. The app will eliminate all of this completely. Paper tickets will still be usable, but they will be retroactive after the load is delivered or picked up. The app provides real-time information to the owners of either the trucks, or the other construction company, so that they can instantaneously look and see how many loads of material have been delivered to each job, provide rerouting, etc. It’s like a ticketing and dispatch service all at the same time. What is the team dynamic? I worked with a total of 2 developers and 2 project managers. How did you come to work with Atmosphere Apps? I had heard of Atmosphere Apps, and knew they were a local company. I’d heard some really good things about some of the technology they’d already developed based upon other companies along the same lines. I thought they would integrate really well with what I was trying to accomplish with GPS tracking, as well as with a lot of the material handling and solutions. A lot of their developers also graduated from the local university, and I’d heard good things from local people who had used them for a range of services. I contacted them, and they were more than receptive. They were extremely fast to respond, got in and started developing the app, and really showcased that they could actually facilitate my ideas into something tangible. They lived up to my expectations. How much have you invested with them? As of right now, we've spent $40,000. What is the status of this engagement? I worked with them from September 2016 to March 2017. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement? The app is built and ready-to-go, and I could release it right now, but I’m electing not to because my main objective it to make everything simplified. Currently, I have 2–3 different companies testing it so I can acquire quantifiable results that I can associate with the app as far as marketing goes. All of the companies testing the app have been completely blown away. I’ve been in the construction company for 16 years now, and the same system I hated is still being used by everyone. The technology hasn’t caught up, even though it’s available. For companies that do a fixed contract on site work, it's important for them to be able to keep up with how accurate their job estimates are. This app gives a backend to how accurate their estimation is, whether they're above or below, and if need to modify their system. The app will eliminate a lot of arguments between contractors and subcontractors that result from inaccurate or faulty ticketing systems. It would also greatly reduce personnel hours of both subcontractors and site work contractors because they won’t have to go through all the tickets. It’s a monotonous process, and this app provides a more efficient, streamlined way to go about it. Atmosphere delivered a better product than I thought was possible. How did Atmosphere Apps perform from a project management standpoint? They were very responsive, and they actually provided much greater insight than I anticipated they would. I know what the materials are and what I’m dealing with, but I had to translate that to someone who has no knowledge about my industry in order to formulate an app. I was very impressed with their ability to look at the process, analyze it, keep things simplified, and provide great suggestions on how to make things better. They were very good in their process. As far as timelines go, they met every deadline they said they would. We communicated with them through email. Due to them being a local company, we were able to have 3–4 face-to-face meetings as well. They were also very capable of holding these meetings via Skype or WebEx if needed. What did you find most impressive about them? They were very flexible in handling my idea, and believed in it as much as I did. There were parts of it that I thought would be great, only to realize that it would be a waste of effort. Their comments were very responsive, and I was very pleased with how they reacted to everything calmly. They also presented a very good package at the end to help with marketing, delivering, and maintaining the package as a whole. It was more than just delivering an app, because there were many features they were willing to facilitate and help out with. They’re currently helping me refine and reach the target market, and I believe they will do a fantastic job. Do you have any advice for potential clients of Atmosphere Apps? Be flexible with the developers and allow them to have a voice. They know their business, and if they suggest anything at all, try and listen to them and approach things with an open mind. A lot of people view their project as personal, so they become very attached to it. Pull the emotion out of it and approach the situation analytically instead. This method will take clients very far with Atmosphere. --- #### Digital Website for Pharmaceutical Client **The Project** - Services: Web Development - Project size: $10,000 to $49,999 - Project length: Mar. - May 2017 **Project Summary**: Atmosphere Apps developed apps for a healthcare communications company, digitalizing the content for use in a mobile-accessible format. They did all work from the wireframes through to executing the operations. **Review Rating**: 5.0 - Quality: 5.0 - Schedule: 5.0 - Cost: 5.0 - Willing to Refer: 5.0 **The Reviewer** President, Rienzi & Rienzi Communications - Industry: Advertising & marketing - Client size: 11-50 Employees - Review Type: Phone Interview - Verified **The Review** — Sep 26, 2017 **Feedback Summary**: The app and website are easy to use and offer all information in a clear, intuitive manner. Through various iterations, they took on feedback and ensured the app was fit for purpose through detailed research. The team is excellent to work with, which can be seen in the ongoing working relationship.  "“They’re thorough in everything they do.” " **BACKGROUND** Introduce your business and what you do there. Rienzi & Rienzi Communications is a healthcare marketing and advertising communications company. I am the president. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** What challenge were you trying to address with Atmosphere Apps? The first project that we collaborated with Atmosphere Apps (AA) was to have them adapt a medical print reference to a digital format. For the second project, we needed a proprietary physical mail program adapting to a digital format suitable for mobile. **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement? About 5 years ago, AA developed an iOS, Android, and Blackberry app for a medical print reference guide that we had developed for a pharmaceutical client in 2005. For this project, AA was responsible for all phases of development and deployment. The second project involved our proprietary print communication program that presents information to physicians.  AA’s task was to create a digital version of this program.  Before we began, AA provided us with a series of questions that dealt with our needs and the expectation of the experience that we wanted physicians to have as they participated in this program. The development process was extremely smooth and thorough in terms of the steps that took us from wireframes to development to execution to deployment. The big difference in dealing with AA on this second project was the simplicity of the mobile user experience that they created, which was really important. What is the team dynamic? We dealt with Eric Poirier [CEO], who was the primary contact that we interfaced with throughout the project.  He was hands-on, always accessible and easy to work with. How did you come to work with Atmosphere Apps? They were referred by another company that we do business with. How much have you invested with them? The investment in the first project was approximately $100,000 and the second project is close to $30,000. What is the status of this engagement ? We started working with AA on the second project in March 2017, and it was completed in May 2017. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement? The user traffic for the first project increased dramatically over a very short period of time, which we attributed to the fact that the information was available digitally and was easy to use. Throughout the development of the second project, we had a very good idea of how the program would function. AA was very detailed from the beginning in terms of what specific needs they had to accomplish the project. They asked very intuitive questions related to how the end user would actually access the information and what the goal was. During the creative process, there were a number of iterations that we commented on which led to the development of an app and website that are easy to use and provide all the information in a very simple format. How did Atmosphere Apps perform from a project management standpoint? From a project management standpoint, AA was terrific and are a pleasure to work with. They were thorough in everything they do. No question that we asked was off limits and we were never made to feel that we were asking something inappropriate. We used a combination of email, digital tools and conference calls to communicate. We had weekly follow-up status calls during which we reviewed new work that had been done. What did you find most impressive about them? AA has a deep knowledge and understanding of digital media…and they are very easy to work with. We’ve been so pleased with what they’ve done for us that we expanded our working relationship to include a third project. Are there any areas they could improve? No.  --- #### App Development for Digital Equipment Firm **The Project** - Services: Custom Software Development - Project size: $10,000 to $49,999 - Project length: **Project Summary**: Atmosphere Apps helped a digital equipment provider in creating a tablet and mobile app to facilitate sales cooperation during a merger. The app featured content, FAQ, and messaging capabilities. **Review Rating**: 5.0 - Quality: 5.0 - Schedule: 4.0 - Cost: 5.0 - Willing to Refer: 5.0 **The Reviewer** Senior Product Manager, Konica Minolta - Industry: Information technology - Client size: 5,001-10,000 Employees - Review Type: Phone Interview - Verified **The Review** — Jun 9, 2016 **Feedback Summary**: The application has gotten great feedback and staff are excited about the tool. Atmosphere Apps is a great partner. They offer reasonable prices and create flexible platforms that meet all requirements and that are responsive and creative. ""They’re tremendous. I highly recommend Atmosphere Apps."" **BACKGROUND** Please describe your organization. Konica Minolta is a global company that offers a lot of things. We sell digital equipment as well as ultrasound and healthcare information technology that includes software to support radiology and other practices in terms of capturing images, storing images and managing patient data, and registration data. What is your position? I’m a Senior Product Manager in Healthcare IT, specifically, I’m in the imaging division. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** What business challenge were you trying to address with Atmosphere Apps? We acquired a company called Viztek last year and that’s where we got our healthcare IT platform. One of the reasons for the acquisition was to grow the company. That platform offered an additional sales channel and we wanted a way to leverage synergies with our existing sales channel at the time, which is used to sell radiology equipment to then generate leads for the platform. It’s the same market but it’s a different sales process and timeframe. We needed to bring two sales teams together to collaborate. We went to Atmosphere Apps to create an app for tablet and phone devices to facilitate that collaboration. We wanted iOS and Android and both phone and tablet form factors. **SOLUTION** Please describe the scope of their involvement in greater detail. There are multiple modules but four basic areas within the app. The first are the probing questions. For our sales team members who aren’t experienced selling the equipment, they are provided a whole set of questions to ask the buyer. The next category is the ability to show content like brochures and PowerPoint presentations so our sales reps are able to engage the potential buyer. It’s nice to have it on a smaller device. The third functionality category is the ability to send information. Reps can email the brochure and presentation directly to the people that they just showed it to. The fourth is the ability to share the lead’s contact information with the marketing and sales team so that we can continue to follow up. Could you provide a sense of the size of this initiative in financial terms? Our apps cost is in the range of $10,000 to $50,000. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** Could you share any statistics or metrics from this engagement? We just launched our app a couple weeks ago at our national sales meeting. At this point, we have one lead. I don’t think that’s a good indicator because it’s possible that leads are generated outside this device. I think that 60% of our representatives downloaded the app and are using it. I’d like to have that be 100%. The feedback has been nothing but positive. That’s from the users and the management team, who are very excited about the possibilities of what this tool will do to help the collaboration with the sales team. What distinguishes Atmosphere Apps from other providers? They’re tremendous. I highly recommend Atmosphere Apps. I think that for what we’re getting, the cost certainly seemed reasonable. But more importantly, the platform is very flexible. We had a list of requirements, and then I gave more detailed specs. What was really important was that they were always flexible. Sometimes we had to change directions. Between the technology they use and the skills they have, it was never an issue. They never said “No, we can’t do that.” Is there anything Atmosphere Apps could have improved or done differently? I can’t think of anything. They were very responsive. Whether it was by email or phone, and working through the weekend, they were very flexible and accommodating. --- #### Application Development for Publishing Company **The Project** - Services: Custom Software Development - Project size: Confidential - Project length: **Project Summary**: Atmosphere Apps developed an events app for a multi-media publishing company. The app’s goals were to allow users to customize their experience to meet their area and interests. **Review Rating**: 5.0 - Quality: 5.0 - Schedule: 5.0 - Cost: 5.0 - Willing to Refer: 5.0 **The Reviewer** Director of Operations, Advantage Publishing - Industry: Other industries - Client size: 11-50 Employees - Review Type: Online Review - Verified **The Review** — Apr 30, 2016 **Feedback Summary**: The team was very hands-on throughout the project, communicating each phase and responding to questions quickly. The app has been featured as a top area app in both the iOS and Android category. Atmosphere Apps constantly looks for ways to upgrade products and work better. ""The team at Atmosphere has gone above and beyond, to not only meet, but exceed our expectations."" **BACKGROUND** Please describe your organization: We are a publishing and multi-media company of print magazines with a large online presence and multiple community events. What is your position? I am the Director of Operations. I oversee all employees and monitor the progress of each department to ensure efficiency and progress. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** What business challenge were you trying to address with Atmosphere Apps? Atmosphere Apps was brought in to develop a one-of-a-kind events app that would enable users to customize their experience selecting those event categories of interest to them in addition to searching for events in the community by topic. **SOLUTION** Please describe the scope of their involvement in detail: Atmosphere Apps took an extremely hands-on approach from idea inception through the present day, where I speak to a representative nearly daily (minimally a few times a week) to discuss updates, ideas, edits, etc. The project involved the development of a regional “events” application that corresponds to the two regional magazine publications, and which would enable users to search from a live stream of local events customized based on their interests. Users can share events, add events to their list of favorites, and import events to their working calendars. How did you come to work with Atmosphere Apps? Our publisher had a prior relationship with a member of the Atmosphere Apps team, and the two of them decided that it would be a perfect partnership. Could you provide a sense of the size of this initiative in financial terms? This was an extensive project as Atmosphere Apps had to develop an entire backend system. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** Could you share any statistics or metrics from this engagement? Our app is featured as one of the top hits when searching Gainesville for Apple and Android users. It is usually in the top three. We have had nothing but positive feedback from our community of users and have had many larger organizations ask to partner with us on the application so that their events can also be a part of the project, a clear indicator of the usability and reach of the application, thanks to the developers at Atmosphere Apps. What distinguishes Atmosphere Apps from other providers? The communication between the team at Atmosphere Apps and my team at API has blown me away. I never intended on having a company develop something for us and then stay on with almost daily interaction (through in-person meetings, Slack, email, phone calls, etc.). The team at Atmosphere has gone above and beyond, to not only meet, but exceed our expectations. They are constantly working to develop updates that will streamline the user experience as well as our experience on the backend, and have gone so far as to offer timely suggestions that will only increase the worth of the product. We have been thrilled with our working relationship with the team at Atmosphere Apps. We highly recommend Atmosphere Apps as a development partner for any organization looking to create elite, mobile applications that are not only user-friendly, but have a back-end system that enables the owner of the application to easily update, edit, and monitor all application activities. Is there anything Atmosphere Apps could have done differently or improve? No. --- #### Application Development for Publication Firm **The Project** - Services: Custom Software Development - Project size: $200,000 to $999,999 - Project length: **Project Summary**: Atmosphere Apps developed a mobile application containing a pharmaceutical drug guide. The team initially worked on a personal digital assistant, but the project evolved into a full mobile application. **Review Rating**: 4.5 - Quality: 4.5 - Schedule: 4.0 - Cost: 5.0 - Willing to Refer: 5.0 **The Reviewer** Executive Editor, Publication Firm - Industry: Media - Client size: 201-500 Employees - Review Type: Phone Interview - Verified **The Review** — Oct 9, 2015 **Feedback Summary**: The app is featured in the App Store regularly because the team created a well-organized app and provides regular updates. Atmosphere Apps is easy to work with and listens to new ideas. They are good long-term partners overall.  ""They are very easy to work with – very willing to hear new ideas and to incorporate them."" **BACKGROUND** Please describe your organization. We are a publisher of textbooks and health resources, both in print and digital.  What is your position? I'm the executive editor for medicine. I manage the group that does the medicine list and series of books that's been around for nearly 30 years. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** What business challenge were you trying to address with Atmosphere Apps? Atmosphere Apps was brought in to create and build an in-depth pharmaceutical drug guide application. **SOLUTION** Please describe the scope of their involvement in detail. Originally, Atmosphere Apps was building a PDA [personal digital assistant] version and has since transitioned into our mobile application development team. How did you come to work with Atmosphere Apps? Atmosphere Apps was a development partner of a company that we acquired in 2008. We never considered looking for a replacement. Could you provide a sense of the size of this initiative in financial terms? This was an extensive project – more than $200,000.  **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** Could you share any statistics or metrics from this engagement? Our app is featured as one of the top apps on the medical list in Apple on a regular basis. It's usually in the top three. Much of that has to do with the way the app is developed, the way Atmosphere Apps organized it, and the regular updates that we're able to give people. The app is updated once a week. That is attributed to how they developed the app.  What distinguishes Atmosphere Apps from other providers? I've been working with the CEO, Eric Poirier, since the beginning. They are very easy to work with – very willing to hear new ideas and to incorporate them. Atmosphere Apps is very enthusiastic about updating things and staying current, and I enjoy working with them personally and professionally. They're great partners. Is there anything Atmosphere Apps could have improved or done differently? I think this is just a result of their not being a huge company. Sometimes, the turnaround time could be improved. Part of that could be because they're not getting what they need from us. But, I think sometimes my bosses would like to see things happen more quickly. --- #### Long-standing App Development Partnership for Nonprofit Organization **The Project** - Services: Custom Software Development - Project size: $50,000 to $199,999 - Project length: Apr. 2007 - Ongoing **Project Summary**: Atmosphere Apps partners with a health care nonprofit to develop online products and applications for members. The team provides IT support and maintenance for each product post-completion. **Review Rating**: 5.0 - Quality: 5.0 - Schedule: 4.0 - Cost: 4.5 - Willing to Refer: 5.0 **The Reviewer** VP Product Development, Health Care Nonprofit Organization - Industry: Other industries - Client size: 11-50 Employees - Review Type: Phone Interview - Verified **The Review** — Oct 2, 2015 **Feedback Summary**: Atmosphere Apps is a flexible and personable partner. They are willing to provide training and guidance to help with new technologies. The team is good at estimating cost upfront, which is useful to nonprofits with limited budgets. ""They have always been very patient and flexible."" **BACKGROUND** Please describe your organization. Our company is a nonprofit. We are a health care organization with more than 6,500 professional members. We're a membership organization, and we're dedicated to improving the health care of older adults. What is your position? I am the vice president for product development and membership management. I oversee all the development of our various products. That goes for all of the print as well as our online products and app development. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** What business challenge were you trying to address with Atmosphere Apps? We have historically always developed products for our members. Traditionally, they were all print products. At the time we first started working with Atmosphere Apps, we were in the era of PDAs [personal digital assistants]. We were looking for ways to keep up with times and make our products more accessible to the public in terms of how they're using technology and education. That's still our goal and that's still why we continue to work with them and try to keep up with online development and apps. **SOLUTION** Please describe the scope of their involvement in detail. They have been our main app developers. How did you come to work with Atmosphere Apps? It's been a long time. Our usual process – and I'm sure this was the same then – we put an RFP [request for proposal] out and solicit bids and proposals from various companies. We interview the top companies that we're interested in and make our selection. I've been here for 12 years and that's always been my process so I'm pretty sure that's what I used when choosing them as well. Could you provide a sense of the size of this initiative in financial terms? They've been with us a long time and do some of our smaller apps as well as our larger ones. We have a monthly agreement with Atmosphere to sustain our apps. In terms of new product development, they've ranged from $10,000 to $40,000 apiece. What is the status of this engagement? It's been close to eight or nine years.  **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** What distinguishes Atmosphere Apps from other providers? We're a small nonprofit. When it comes to product development, it's me and another staffer. We're a busy staff, but we had to learn our way through this technology and how to keep up with the times. What I've always admired when working with Atmosphere Apps  is their flexibility, their personal touch, and their ability to guide me through the process. I'd ask them for something, and I wasn't sure what I was asking. They helped clarify and walk me through the process. They have always been very patient and flexible. Is there anything Atmosphere Apps could have improved or done differently? I think things are good now. When they were first starting up, albeit years and years ago, it was a small team that was juggling a lot of projects. The time for them to complete something was longer than I was hoping for. But I think they squared that away. I don't have that issue any longer.  --- #### App Development Partnership for Large Media Company **The Project** - Services: Custom Software Development - Project size: $200,000 to $999,999 - Project length: Sep. 2009 - Ongoing **Project Summary**: Atmosphere Apps built a custom database for a B2B media company. The team also worked on custom application development and general mobile strategy in an ongoing capacity. **Review Rating**: 5.0 - Quality: 5.0 - Schedule: 5.0 - Cost: 5.0 - Willing to Refer: 5.0 **The Reviewer** Senior Vice President, Large Media Company - Industry: Media - Client size: 5,001-10,000 Employees - Review Type: Phone Interview - Verified **The Review** — Sep 28, 2015 **Feedback Summary**: There is a high percentage of users accessing the apps that Atmosphere Apps helped to develop. The team is technically adept and act as an extension of the internal team. They have helped to solve several difficult problems throughout the engagement. ""We work well together with them and treat them as if they were an extension of our internal team."" **BACKGROUND** Please describe your organization. We are a media and information company in the United States. We focus primarily on B2B [business-to-business] markets with a major focus in health care, information security, and marketing communications. What is your position? I'm the senior vice president of strategy and product development, and I oversee our web development and software development. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** What business challenge were you trying to address with Atmosphere Apps? Atmosphere Apps built a custom database for us that met our needs for many years. We've only just recently migrated from the database. We used it for five years and decided to bring development in house. We have also worked with Atmosphere Apps to build many custom apps for our various titles. We now have something like 15 apps in the app stores. **SOLUTION** Please describe the scope of their involvement in detail. Atmosphere advises us on mobile strategy and helps steer us in the right direction. They have built several apps that are quite customized for us as well as apps that are more traditional media apps. We've been able build very tight integrations via APIs [application programming interfaces] between our content management system and the systems at Atmosphere Apps. When one of our editors publishes a piece of content with a click they can indicate if it's for the web only, for mobile only or for both. Once they click publish, the content is published within minutes to all platforms including the apps on Android and iOS. How did you come to work with Atmosphere Apps? We started with Atmosphere six years ago. When we started working with them, we had another vendor that was hosting a database that supported one of our key products. It was fairly customized and that vendor went out of business, so we needed to scramble to find another solution provider. Atmosphere stepped in and got us out of a tight spot. From there, we worked with them to start building apps. Could you provide a sense of the size of this initiative in financial terms? We have done projects that are in the $50,000 to $100,000 range, but they're typically in the $10,000 to $25,000 range. We've spent a lot of time and money on both sides building these integrations. We're able to build a new app. We launch new websites all the time, and we're able to launch an app on both iOS and Android – tablet and phone within a week start to finish – by leveraging the platform and the integration that have already been built. At this point, our costs are small dollars because of all the work that was done upfront to make that possible.  **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** Could you share any statistics or metrics from this engagement? We have a web-based medical education product. Our target audience is increasingly mobile – much more than other markets. This particular market has a higher percentage of users accessing the information on mobile. We've been able to keep that audience engaged by building a custom education platform for those users. What distinguishes Atmosphere Apps from other providers? We found Atmosphere Apps to be very technically adept, and our senior technical folks worked very well with the technical folks at Atmosphere Apps. Even though they're a vendor, we work well together with them and treat them as if they were an extension of our internal team. Is there anything Atmosphere Apps could have improved or done differently? Not really. It's been a good relationship. --- ## Portfolio & Awards ### Zbinetwork App Atmosphere Apps developed the zbinetwork app to provide Zimmer Biomet with a mobile platform where clinicians can register for on-going education courses and access ondemand videos of emerging procedures, technology, and products.

We ship products then stay engaged through hosting, maintenance, support, and continuous improvement. Our best proof is retention. Clients keep working with us because they trust us to solve problems beyond the original scope.  ### What Sets Us Apart - We learn your business like it's ours: We get genuinely curious about how your organization works. The regulatory constraints, the internal politics, and the workflows. We bring our expertise in software and process design. You bring your expertise in your domain. We eventually start coming to you with ideas, not just answers. - We ship it, then we stick with it: We don't build something and disappear. Our business model assumes ongoing partnership: hosting, maintenance, support, and continuous improvement. We keep paying attention after launch, watching the integration points, and treating your systems like they're ours to tend. - Companies that work with us keep working with us: American Geriatrics Society has been with us since 2003. F.A. Davis is approaching a decade. ZimVie relationships have outlasted the people who started them. After a year or two, clients start bringing us problems outside the original scope, because they trust we'll figure it out. ### Quick Facts - Multilingual Team - 18 Verified Clutch Clients - 25 years in business ### Tools and Technology - Slack - Zoom - Asana - Jira - GitHub - Google Workspace - Figma - Bitbucket - AWS - Zendesk - Salesforce - Jenkins ### Commonly Asked Questions **What types of clients does AtmoApps work best with?** AtmoApps is a strong fit for organizations operating in information-rich, regulated environments especially healthcare, life sciences, medical device, education, and enterprise teams. We work well with clients who need secure, scalable digital platforms that keep field teams, clinicians, partners, and internal stakeholders aligned on current, approved content.

That means clients can move faster, reduce delivery risk, and still get solutions tailored to their workflows. We have more than 25 years of experience, have delivered 400+ apps, and maintain a 95% client retention rate over the past five years. Our team has deep experience balancing speed, usability, security, auditability, and regulatory expectations especially in healthcare and life sciences. **Does AtmoApps only build mobile apps?** No. While mobile is a core strength, AtmoApps builds full digital ecosystems across mobile, web, cloud, CMS platforms, integrations, AI-assisted content tools, analytics, compliance workflows, and secure stakeholder portals. Our work often includes mobile apps, admin dashboards, content management systems, data pipelines, AWS infrastructure, secure authentication, app store management, analytics, and ongoing platform support. **How does AtmoApps support regulated or compliance-sensitive projects?** We design with security, auditability, permissions, and compliance workflows in mind from the start.
