In 2012, we decided to enter the 'mobile'​ arena. To do so, we launched our own internal new business line and acquired AppSolution.As a result, EASI had became able to offer native apps on iPhone / iPad (iOS), Android, and Windows Phone. We are able to build applications :- specifically for companies for their own internal use (B2B2E)- specifically for companies for their final customers (B2B2C)- for our own standard packages : CRM, Document Management, SmartMail, Financials (B2B)- SmartSales (http://smartsales.easi.net) was launched as a new presentation / order management system for sales on the road- we also launched InboxZero (http://inboxzero.easi.net), our first B2C app to revolutionize the way people work with mailsEnd 2014, the Application Development team had grown to 60 consultants, from which 12 persons working exclusively on mobile projects.This growth was also possible thanks to evolution in our others core business lines (Notes/Domino, WinDev, Power) and products (CRM, Document Management, Financials,..) : we have approx. 500 customers using our standard packages, in Belgium, France and Luxembourg.At the end 2017, the team reached 100 consultants / developers. The internal structure also evolved, with 5 Team Managers who took more and more responsibility in managing their own teams.We felt it was time for a change and a new organization. The 'Application Development' team was split into 2 major Business Lines : 'Adfinity' (back-office solutions parts) and 'Smart' (for all collaborative / mobile oriented solutions).And I took the 'Smart' part of it. Back to the roots :-)
