Completech is Growing Quickly, Both
Here and in Asia
Hacienda Developers Take a Pioneering Role
in Mobile Device Applications Revolution

Completech Inc.’s years of experience in providing technology solutions
for businesses have helped it become a leader in the mobile applications
solutions industry. This company, which made Hacienda its headquarters
earlier this year, is growing rapidly in response to its development of
cutting-edge applications that will revolutionize the mobile device
industry.

“Our goal is to move as many desktop applications as possible to
hand-held devices such as cell phones and PDAs,” says Completech Inc.’s
founder, CEO and President Zack Siddiqui. “These devices are becoming
more and more powerful, and will eventually be an extension of a
laptop. The applications we’ve developed and continue to develop will
give mobile devices the same capabilities.”
Completech’s software engineers are working on applications that will
allow cell phone users to access their company’s database, server or
intranet. “Most major companies have websites, but not all are
accessible from mobile phones or are in a format that is easy to use,”
explains Siddiqui. Other applications being developed include the
ability to project PowerPoint presentations from cell phones and
utilizing optical character recognition technology so that scanned
documents can be accessed and printed from mobile devices, to name a
few.
“We are seeing a real interest in the mobile device business,” says
Siddiqui. “During the internet boom, every company needed a web site to
be successful, but now it’s the mobile device boom. The sooner
businesses create a presence for themselves in the mobile device world,
the more advantageous it will be for them. This industry revolution is
just getting started and we’re leading the way.”
Completech partners with leading mobile software platform vendors
including Symbian, Microsoft, and Blackberry. Applications are
developed for multiple handsets including Nokia, Motorola, Palm, Sony
Ericsson and others. “We have the expertise to deploy applications on
various operating systems such as Windows Mobile, PalmOS, Blackberry,
Symbian, and BREW,” noted Siddiqui.
Completech prides itself in its ability to quickly develop application
solutions. With software engineers in Hacienda and India, programmers
and quality assurance engineers can work around the clock to complete
projects. “We currently have 12 engineers in Hacienda and 10 in India
with more being hired this month,” explains Siddiqui. “The India office
is an extension of the Pleasanton office. They work the same hours as
we do here in Hacienda and even have Pleasanton phone numbers.” The
India office was opened just over two years ago so that Completech could
offer clients more cost effective development options.
Though the development of mobile applications is Completech’s main area
of expertise, the company’s Professional Services Group, which offers
quality assurance and software development services, has been its focus
for the past 13 years. Completech’s professional services group recently
worked with Hacienda tenant Bling Software, a developer of mobile web
applications, to develop a platform for showing all types of rich media
such as video, music and images on mobile devices. Completech, Inc. is
located at 5960 Stoneridge Drive, Suite 204, at Chabot Road. For more
