Global Mobile Development Company opens Manila office
MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA – April 29, JMango, an international mobile company, announced today that it has formally opened its Manila office, choosing the Philippines as its international headquarters for the development of mobile applications.
JMango Chief Executive Ilan Oosting said
the Philippines is an excellent location for us to expand our Asia-Pacific and global operations as the skills levels are very high. We see exponential growth for our business and we plan to hire many more local workers. The team there, under the guidance of General Manager Neil Matheson has already starting to produce some world-class mobile apps.
The Philippines currently has 73 million mobile users, and we also plan on being at the forefront of delivering customised mobile applications to this market, with several already slated for release in the near future.
JMango said it had formally created a Philippines subsidiary company and planned to make Manila its global software development base.
Analyst firm Euromonitor expects the number of Asian smart phone users to reach 347 million by 2015, from 120 million in 2007, while the number of mobile subscribers is tipped to rise by a billion people over the next five years, to 3.1 billion users.
JMango also announced today that it has formed an alliance to send sports content from the oldest news agency Associated Press to the millions of mobile users in the Philippines.
Mr Oosting said
Associated Press has the best sports content in the world and we know there are millions of sports fans in the Philippines that love their basketball and boxing. Sports fans will now be able to get the latest sports news and information sent direct to their mobile phone.
The local Philippines workforce of JMango has developed the software code, customized the sports content for the mobile screen, and worked hard to deliver a mobile app that represents a world first in terms of being able to be used on any handset, said Oosting.
JMango has operations in Australia, Southeast Asia, and Europe. The company’s mobile application technology allows any application to run on all of the dominant mobile operating systems, including Java, Symbian, Blackberry, Windows Mobile, iPhone and the Google Android operating systems.
