Rendezblu Case Study

Customer: RendezBlu
Project Type: Social Networking mobile application

Product Overview

RendezBlu.com is a social network that allows members to “meet” other members in the immediate area using only a mobile device. Profiles are gathered by running the Rendezblu mobile application via Bluetooth and are uploaded to the user’s Rendezblu online page. Unlike other social networks, which can build artificial links, RendezBlu only connects people with those within a 10 metre radius who also have the application running on their device. This filter increases the likelihood that those contacts added to a user’s network will share common tastes or interests and visit the same bars/cinemas/clubs etc.

“I couldn’t have developed the application without Penrillian’s help, knowledge, creativity and consultative approach." Mike Tsivouras, CEO of RendezBlu

Case Study:T-Mobile Network Performance Monitor 1

Project Type: Networked Application
Customer: T-Mobile

Product Overview:

The T-Mobile Network Performance Monitor is an application for handsets. It is designed to test the real-world performance of T-Mobile's 3G and HSDPA data network. The application periodically polls a series of websites, and measures how fast they can be accessed. These results are collated and sent via email to T-Mobile for analysis.

"Penrillian created a robust, simple application that fulfilled a need quickly and efficiently," commented Richard Giazzi, T-Mobile. "It didn't cost the earth, yet is likely to provide a significant tactical impact on how we provision networks over the coming years to ensure that the customer experience meets expectations."
