Once upon a time, your tech stack was a problem for tech people. But in a digital world, technology strategy is inseparable from business strategy.

Digital leaders rely on technology platforms to enable collaboration, agility, and a customer-first mindset. Technology expertise matters more than ever, but making the right tech choices is now a whole-of-business concern.

The Team Matrix excels at smartly architecting and swiftly developing experience solutions. Deploying a proprietary framework, our solutions architects define and create optimal solutions, with an unshakeable focus on business efficiency, user experience and business need.

Early strategic decisions can make or break a technology project. Even if you’re not a tech guru, there are some important qualities to look for in a technology partner

Before your experts start talking, they should be listening – taking the time to understand your existing tech stack and new requirements inside and out.

You want a partner who can recommend and build on a wide range of technologies – one who won’t push something on you because it’s what they happen to know.

Your tech partner should empower you with the information to make sound strategic decisions, whether you’re an IT veteran or a tech novice

Apps have fueled disruption, creating and transforming industries. In the process, they’ve made complex organizational problems – like curating vast amounts of content or providing transportation on demand – seem effortless.

But in reality, behind every “simple” app is robust technology architecture and immaculate code, engineered to deliver a seamless experience.

Whether you’re looking to create amazing user experiences, streamline operations, or get an edge over competitors, BFM offers the mobile app development expertise to help you get there. Leveraging our technical talents and strategic insights, we deliver rich experiences that spur brand growth.

Creating an app is a major step for even the biggest business. Before you settle on a partner to help you do so, here are some things to look for

There are some things only an app can do. But responsive website design has come a long way and covers many mobile use cases. Before starting on an app, your agency should be giving an honest assessment of whether you really need one.

Agile matters for two reasons. First, consumers expect apps to be regularly updated and improved. Second, if you build every feature and permutation at once, chances are you’ll be late to market.

An app build is a management challenge as well as a technical effort. Your agency needs the experience and the process to keep the project moving efficiently

eCommerce businesses know that user experience and revenue go hand in hand. When users find shopping hard, slow, or confusing, they don’t convert and you don’t get paid.

That’s why your eCommerce site should be working hard for you – streamlining your business and making shopping effortless. But without a well-developed site, you’re trying to build a great experience on shaky foundations.

With over 17 years in the business, Blue Fountain Media has developed more than our share of high-performing eCommerce sites. We focus on delivering an experience users love, so you can get products off your shelves and into buyers’ carts.

An eCommerce site is not just another website. Multiple business-critical elements need to be executed properly in order to ensure a strong return on your investment.

An eCommerce build must make shopping easy and secure. Pages must load quickly and reliably, with a consistent look and feel, compelling content, and search functionality that meets users’ needs and expectations.

A static site that’s disconnected from your business ecosystem creates data entry work for employees, and irritates customers with out-of-date information and limited features.

Customers expect sites to “remember” them with features such as product recommendations, promos, and a tailored, content-rich experience. And as a customer-facing channel, the richest eCommerce experiences offer ready access to real-time support such as live chat.

Next Generation experiences are not just a passing fad. Voice assistants, together with immersive technologies such as virtual, augmented, and mixed reality, will change how we live and work.

When fully harnessed, next gen technologies will be ubiquitous and transformative. Right now, there’s an opening for businesses to use these technologies to delight customers and build a competitive lead. But how do you ensure you’re building tomorrow’s business necessity and not today’s novelty?

The Team Matrix delivers the insights, customer empathy, and tech capabilities to execute strategically on next gen technologies. Adopting an approach that leverages agile design and lean innovation, we help businesses move cutting-edge products to market quickly and with precision

Technical skills and methodologies matter, but the real challenge when building a next-gen experience that counts is defining the problem you’re trying to solve. That’s why your partner needs

A partner needs proven processes for agile delivery, enabling you to “fail fast” without a massive investment of time and money, and build and scale viable concepts at speed.

An effective partner will not only solve real customer problems, they’ll do so in a way that connects to people’s motivations, desires, and frustrations.

If immersive technologies are going to fuel your growth, you need a partner who can accurately and efficiently determine whether a concept is a true product-market fit.

In the digital era, businesses need to move faster, and with more flexibility. But having an agile mindset isn’t enough. You also need the technology to execute your ideas.

That’s why selecting and building on the right platform is critical. And it’s why Blue Fountain Media partners with so many industry-leading CMS providers and other technology partners. We help you choose a solution from among the industry’s best, and follow through with a specialist implementation team that knows your chosen platform inside and out.
