"When we first began considering the mobile phone as a new platform for our services we quickly realised just how complex an area it is. The complexities of developing for an environment with such constrained technology and screen real estate together with the maze of differing technology options lead us to turn to Masabi. They quickly demonstrated an incredible depth of knowledge and were integral in helping us to define our strategy."
- Keith McDonnell, the Tote
