Never before has so much choice existed to tempt customers and users to buy into your products and or services. Your solutions need not only to reach and engage the masses, but also provide greater levels of return on investment in these increasingly challenging economic times.

Get ready for a new platform that is set to change the face of personal computing for a generation and along with it, provide you with the opportunity to show that you are in touch with what your customers want from technology today.

Truly connected experiences are here.

Microsoft announced earlier in 2011 that they would be creating a new tooling environment and user experience that would spread an updated operating system (codenamed "Windows8") across multiple devices and platforms to give you new and exciting opportunities to engage with your users and customers.

The challenge has always been to enable design and development to create these complex solutions with maximum reuse of code and assets as well as reducing the ever growing cost of solution maintenance.

"Windows 8" will enable you to deploy cloud connected solutions across desktops, tablets, smartphones and media devices, with global roaming profiles and unprecedented levels of compatibility with the most favoured hardware in today's marketplace, such as iPads and Android devices.

Choosing a design and development partner is crucial to success

Splendid has for many years been engaged at a very deep internal level with Microsoft on a global basis. We were amongst the first to embrace HTML5 and JavaScript as a technology that would give momentum for the future and so it is no surprise that we have gathered the best of breed skilled resources to offer you a service that is second to none when choosing to enter the next generation of computing.

We have a recognised history of working with emerging technologies such as Surface and other Touch-Centric solutions, the same as what "Windows 8" will bring.

Back all this understanding up with a proven development team who have delivered solutions in the same languages across the Metro Platform and you have the confidence to know that Splendid will exceed your expectations of what is possible.

Everyone else will now need to try and catch up...

"Windows 8" is not just about delivering a solution for the tablet, or for the phone. It's about understanding how solutions and experiences are different on different devices and how your users will expect to engage in all of them, all of the time.

The new Microsoft Metro Platform is the key to delivering all of this technical goodness, and so having specialist in typography, user experience, visual ergonomics and user experience testing means that Splendid will bring you a whole new level of expectation that your competition will struggle to meet.

Other companies will begin to understand these greater challenges as they start to engage with new business. Fortunately for us, we had to solve all the challenges a few years back in preparation for what is coming tomorrow.
