We enable vital software initiatives
Services
Outer Planet Labs develops and deploys Apps for the Apple ecosystem. We contribute to our clients' established Apps, or deliver iOS, macOS, watchOS or tvOS Apps, for private labeling by our clients.
Typical business requirements addressed by Outer Planet Labs are as follows:
- There is a need for a Minimum Viable Product (MVP), as a critical element of a new business strategy; the App is expected to enhance valuation for the initiative.
- There is an established iOS or macOS App that supports current business operations, but staff resources for maintaining it have become inadequate, so the App has become neglected, and new features are desired.
- An outside contractor is struggling in providing a quality solution. An independent, objective consultant is needed to inform strategy for reducing costs, improving quality or reducing risk.
- Outside mobile technology and strategy expertise is needed, to contribute to a broader initiative. A business team may have defined high level requirements for a mobile product or service, but not an encompassing software based experience, or a mobile go-to-market strategy.
- Likewise, a company may recognize opportunities to innovate around a novel technology (generative AI, augmented reality, etc.), but require a partner to inform a more detailed plan, and then help act on it.
- There is interest in very quickly introducing an App to address an immediate marketing goal. The desire might be to deliver an App that meets an educational purpose, or that supports a critical upcoming event. Or the interest might be in some other quick introduction of an App to support growing brand awareness or closer customer engagement.
- There is recognition of a productivity improvement possible for a company's own internal staff or staff in the field, with introduction of an App that can serve as a critical utility, or as a secure front end to a proprietary server-based system.
- A decision has been made to take an App away from an outside or overseas software team. Outer Planet Labs may be asked to wrap code in test cases and take other precautionary measures to improve the odds of a successful transition.
