IT Consulting Company Develops Photo Kiosk in Just Six Months With New Software Platform

Overview Executives at Germany-based HC Global needed to update an existing digital-photo kiosk or face an uncertain future. The Java-based platform underpinning the kiosk was no longer fit for purpose. Executives looked to create a replacement based on Windows or Linux. They realised the expertise and software add-ons with Windows solutions - being more cost effective and less time consuming to develop - would help ensure the new kiosk retained its competitive advantage. Working with Microsoft Certified Partner Exigen Services - which used a beta version of the Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0 to develop a Windows XP environment - the company gained a flexible software platform and began rolling out the new kiosks in six months.
