ScienceSoft launches a Xamarin competence center

Stepping up its mobile development services, ScienceSoft announces the launch of a competence center for Xamarin – a cross-platform tool that boasts of a 1 million developer community and powers Microsoft, Tesco, Dow Jones, Bosch-Siemens along with thousands of other companies worldwide.

Xamarin is a mobile development platform offering a quick and easy way to create applications for iOS, Android, Windows and Mac using a single C# codebase. Founded in 2011, it has attracted over 1 million developers and 15,000 customers around the world. In 2014, Xamarin raised $54 million to boost technological and business growth. Aiming to maximize business opportunity, the company is actively partnering with Microsoft, Samsung, Salesforce.com, SAP and other industry players.

A company that helped nurture Viber – one of the world’s most popular messengers with 570 million users, ScienceSoft sees merit in cross-platform solutions as they allow clients to reduce mobile development costs significantly. “With C#, .NET and Visual Studio brought to the table by Xamarin, we can develop native applications without even bothering about JavaScript debugging in hybrid apps. Bound to cut corners in search of efficiency, we find Xamarin to be a strategic asset in our mobile business,” says Valeri Kireitchik, Marketing Director at ScienceSoft.

With 4 Xamarin developers on board, ScienceSoft has already delivered a number of successful projects on top of the booming platform in the recent 1.5 years. Anticipating an increased demand for cost-efficient mobile apps with short time-to-market, the company is pushing forward its Xamarin competences to meet this need.
