(Hong Kong, 31st July 2014)
Creating a mobile application to reciprocate to the fast-paced digital era is almost what every corporation, government department and even small-medium enterprise has been striving to accomplish. The ultimate goal of such ubiquitous move is to either boost up their marketing competitiveness on the immense digital platforms or provide an alternative channel to deliver information more easily and effectively than a website does. The global trend which people are moving from personal computers to their mobile devices is an undeniable fact which will result in a sea of mobile applications coming up in the following years. Mobile applications, unarguably, will be developed more demandingly and extensively.
However, developing a mobile application is more than just uploading it to Google Play Store or iTunes App Store and wait for an official approval. In fact, it involves a team’s cooperation, enormous efforts, practical experience and more importantly the communication with clients. The development is started with collecting a client’s requirements before our team jump into the process of design and programming. The requirements, thereafter, will be discussed, studied and assessed rigorously by a team of professionals including designers, programmers and project managers. Once the client has approved the project details, the production can be started. Our project team will ensure to meet the proposed schedule and the quality of the mobile application. With years of experience working with the government departments, KanHan Technologies Limited (“KanHan”) is eminently familiar with the government’s practice and their channel of communication which makes the development much more efficient.
Over the years, KanHan has been entrusted for developing mobile applications for the HKSAR government departments. As stated, the HKSAR government departments are also moving towards to the digital platforms to allow the general public to access useful information more conveniently. As a result, several departments have already developed a list of mobile applications to facilitate the public (http://www.gov.hk/en/about/govdirectory/mobileapps.htm#appGovHKApps) and some heavily promoted and popular ones were developed by KanHan. Nowadays, it is not hard to see that someone has installed one of these mobile applications on their mobile devices. KanHan is looking forward to introducing more fresh ideas such as location based Augmented Reality technology making government apps more engaging and interesting to users.
The following mobile applications are developed by KanHan for the HKSAR government departments:
