baKno has been hired for many different projects. Web apps developments, Mobile apps developments and some technology prototypes as well.

What were your goals for this project?

Web applications hired to baKno not only have the modern design we look for, but they handle complex integrations to some of our legacy systems. Mobile apps are very well designed as well, with a modern look and user interface.
