GIVP Programme 2011
Logica’s 2011 edition of the Global Innovation Venture Partner (GIVP) programme has come to a conclusion. Our global panel has chosen two joint winners this year- UK based Embarcadero Technologies and Sweden based Vergic AB. Embarcadero Technologies enables Windows desktop software to be turned into easily sharable mobile-like apps within the business environment. Vergic won the award for their “ps plugin’ solution, a sales and customer service tool.
The Embarcadero AppWave solution converts software into AppWave Apps that are broadcast, so you can access them from wherever you are. Users do not need to worry about installing software and have one-click access to the applications that they need. Vergic’s product “ps plugin” is a tool that brings e-commerce and customer service to the next level. It gives companies the ability to retain customers when they experience problems in the buying process and provide help during a session similar to a meeting in real life. “ps plugin” transforms any website into a real time interaction sales tool, enabling person to person communication, just like in a store.
