Words from CEO

Blog acts as a mediator between the audience and the experts. Any expert can share his/her experience; provide proper advice to the people by means of a blog. On the other hand, it also serves as a perfect online marketing tool.

The more informative and interesting your blog data is, more people are likely to visit your website. As a result, your blog content is the key part for increasing your website’s traffic. In order to make your blog an appropriate path for people to reach you then provide them what they want and not you want them to read. Know the consumer preference first.

A little bit survey and research about the likes and dislikes of the people and the topics they keep on searching very often on internet are two main things that help you create unique blogs. I think this is the only reason why we have been successful in accomplishing 300 successful blogs.

Pool of information – Search Engines & Content Writers

So, here our this remarkable achievement is brought to us by our experts team including content writers, content researchers and last but not the least as well as the pillar of updates – Google and other search engines.

We constantly strive hard to provide up to date information that our researchers get from Google and other such famous search engines who keep themselves updated with the on- going industry trends.

Launch of OAA Recently technology giant Google has joined hands with car giants Audi, General Motors (GM), Honda and Hyundai as well as with graphics card giant NVIDIA to create the Open Automotive Alliance or OAA which aims to bring the Android Operating System to automobiles.

The Open Automotive Alliance is a unique global alliance which aims to offer “openness, customization and scale” in automobiles. Even though only five companies have joined Google so far, Google is welcoming other companies to join this unique initiative to he build a common platform for the road.

Google said that it is working with its partners to “enable new forms of integration” with Android devices and ensuring that driving becomes “safer, easier and more enjoyable”.

Unique Initiative by Google:

This unique initiative by Google will ensure that millions of Android users having their own cars are able to use their favourite apps and music within their cars built in controls and in-dash display without being distracted or crashing which basically means that Android gets out from the pocket of the user and turns into a permanent fixture in a car.

Google’s director of engineering Patrick Brady wrote in a blog post that “Together with our putting Android in the car will bring drivers apps and services they already know and love while enabling automakers to easily deliver cutting-edge technology to their customers and it will create new opportunities for developers to extend the variety and depth of the Android app ecosystem in new, exciting and safe ways.”

Google’s Car Based Technologies:

The partners involved with Google also believe that the manufacturing of car based technologies will be faster and more efficient due to this initiative with the head of electrics and electronics department head at Audi being quoted as saying “The worlds of consumer and automotive technologies have never been more closely aligned, and this alliance will only pave the way for faster innovation. Working toward a common ecosystem benefits driver safety above all.”

The president of General Motors Global Connected Consumer Unit, Mary Chan had this to say about their partnership with Google: “Partnering with Google and the Launch of OAA on an eco-system that spans across vehicles and hand held mobile devices furthers our mission to bring vehicles into our owner’s digital lives and their digital lives into their vehicles. We see huge opportunities for the Android platform paired with OnStar 4G LTE connectivity in future Chevrolet, Buick, GMC and Cadillac vehicles.”

Now a days, common platforms across multitude of devices offer for a connected experience across all devices. Until recently, the car was a platform which was disconnected from the digital lives of the users. Last summer, Apple integrated their mobile operating system iOS directly with the in car systems with their iOSitC standard. While the iOSitC standard allowed Apple iOS devices to be able to work with the inbuilt car systems, the sheer scale of the OAA initiative by Google is a lot bigger step than the one taken by Apple. With the OAA initiative, soon enough the cars will become a part of the user’s digital lives while also ensuring the safety of the user.

It is expected to see the Launch of OAA updated cars sometime later in 2014.

Five years ago, a small team of experts started the Softqube Technologies IT company in a small rented office with the mission of connecting the professionals worldwide to make them more productive and successful in the relevant industry. Since then, we’ve achieved a lot of promising milestones. On this special day of anniversary of our most vital and exciting milestone, I am going to make an ever so long blog post about our 5 years journey and share some milestone we have achieved.

This success within the past 5 years is as a result of a relentless focus on innovation and customers first set by our founders and employees.

2009

The history of Softqube dates back to June 2009, when the company was founded. With less than ten employees, the company were initially offering product based web development services.

2010

Financially, our first year was in loss. But we didn’t stop there – but our determination make us continue to evolve our company. In late 2010, we thought to stop our product based services and we decided that while the all businesses moved towards mobile and online, we needed to expand our services and make every digital experience of every device a high-impact experience.

And, we have aligned an effective strategy with constitutive innovation and targeted acquisitions. As the year progress, we have started service sectors with 3 developers for Microsoft Technologies and Web Designing Services. Afterward, we have keep up to add one by one milestone. The company achieves profitability and core efforts. In the hardcore journey, we have worked on number of projects.

I’m thanking Nitin Suvagia from all of us, who patiently and professionally walked us through the successful process, came up with great ideas and creative designing skills we came up with.

When we noticed the project flow started, we began to recruit new faces, about 20 + IT professionals hired that exhilarate and humble to observe our team grow. We also moved into the 1500 sq. Ft. area space and created better facilities including internet leased line connections, data backup and security etc. In fact, we have doubled our turn over every year.

2011

In August 2011, the company took a big step in online marketing and started offering SEO services on a global scale. We are honoured that we now have relationships with 150 + partners who are satisfied with our online marketing services.

2012

Whereas the mobile application market is relatively young, we took our next step to build, integrate and deploy mobile application with employing skilled and qualified application developers in 2012. We offers our mobile application development services for Android and Blackberry platform.

2013

In 2013, Softqube Technologies acquired IVAPS (Innovation Vault Applications Products and Services) Pvt. Ltd. to start work in IP (Intellectual Property) related services and IDES (Innovation and Design Excellence Suites) product design and development.

In such a short time, our company has grown a lot. Advancing ahead towards 2013, we has started out offering an ingenious and cost-efficient iPhone App Development service. Just like a tailor knows which is right needle for stitching different kind of materials, our developers know which technology to use for developing a perfect iPhone app to meet your needs.

IT Staff Augmentation services also added in our service list. Moreover, our dedicated content writer work exclusively for our clients’ business requirements and play a crucial role in whole online branding through their interesting and informative contents. Our client list includes not only USA companies but clients located in Australia, UK, Africa and Singapore. When we hired a new HR executive, our manpower resource procedure improved in a positive manner for our organization and all the management system came so systematically.

2014

Today, we at this position where our 50+ dedicated, talented and tenacious employees are celebrating “ 5th Anniversary of Softqube.”Since the birth of the Softqube, we just cared more about our clients satisfaction than anyone else. And still we do it today.

“Being tech-savvy, reliable and open to new ideas helped us to make the dramatic changes in the industry in the past 5 years,”said Mr. Harikrishna Patel, CEO of Softqube Technologies. “The diversity of enterprise customers needs across hospitality, and retail industries inspired us and then we also built relationships with amazing partners like Hospitality Industry, IT & Telecom carriers, Educational, Financial Institutions and Medium to Large scale Manufacturers to continue the growth and expansion.”

Our honest service helps to our clients to spend smarter and save more, free from of the pitfalls that are distinctive in our industry. We believe that a great customer services and great products could build a business that not only does good, but also does great.

I’m even much more excited about the next five years than the last. None of this could be possible without all of the Softqube employees, both past and present who have kindly poured their passions, talents and time into building our company. So, from the bottom of our hearts, thanks to all those. And most of all, THANK YOU for keeping your faith in us and sharing simple with your friends.

Nitin Suvagia concludes, “I am feeling so proud of what we have achieved and where we stand right now. With our invariant willingness to reach, innovate and be successful, our next years will surely be full of new challenges and surprises. And we are ready to serve you the best we can!”
