Ishi Systems acquires new office space and opens new development center in Jersey City, NJ
Jersey City, NJ, February 10, 2012 – Ishi Systems, Inc., a global IT solutions company, provides enterprise software services, mobile application development, and information security solutions to large enterprises as well as midcap companies in the US and globally.
Ishi has seen steady growth since its launch in 1994. Ishi’s agile based development processes and a strong software engineering core are at the core of the success that it has enjoyed over the years. Their recent launch of a social recommendation service called Picksie has marked Ishi’s reach beyond enterprise computing into the consumer space.
Ishi’s head office is located in Jersey City, NJ (about a 4-minute subway ride from New York City’s Downtown Financial District). A second office opened in Ahmedabad, India in 2010 where experts in High Performance Computing are engaged in extensive Research and Development in highly available and extremely fault tolerant computing solutions.
While the overseas expansion was underway, Ishi has also been aggressively increasing in size in its home base. To accommodate its fast growing teams in Jersey City, Ishi has now acquired a new office space in Harborside Financial Center’s Plaza Ten, the same modern office building on the Hudson River Waterfront where Ishi has its head office.
The growth and success of Ishi is attributed to a strong commitment to its core values of delivery, quality and creativity. Many Ishi customers come to Ishi after trying out traditional software development using their own teams or after engaging some of the biggest names in the IT services industry. Right from the onset, they are delighted by the transparent Agile based approach where Ishi’s teams work closely with business users and give them fully-tested, working features continually every two weeks. Ishi customers say that the product development mindset of Ishi’s people consistently help them in accelerating their time-to-market and meeting their growth targets.
When Ishi launched Picksie (www.picksie.com) for the tablet format in 2010 and as an iPhone app in 2011, the buzz and positive reviews generated significant interest in Ishi’s mobile location based product development capabilities. Ishi anticipates steady growth of its mobile application development in 2012.
In addition, Ishi also provides a unique incubator like platform for new entrepreneurs to help them build technology solutions and take them to market with its startup program that is directly overseen by Ajay Mohan, the CEO of Ishi Systems. In a brief statement during the opening of the new Development Center at Jersey City, Ajay said, “the new office space will help our executive team to work with more entrepreneurs and product designers while still staying deeply focused in our core enterprise solutions business”.
As a growing company with newly acquired office space and an increasing product and customer portfolio, Ishi is now hiring product designers, algorithm engineers and software engineers. More information on Ishi’s current openings may be found at www.ishisystems.com/jobs.
Picksie.com: Intelligent Recommendations Service by Ishi Systems
For those times when you wonder “What can I do, here and now?” comes a new recommendation app that promises to revolutionize the way we choose how to entertain ourselves.
The location-based website and discovery service Picksie, provides instant entertainment recommendations that match your unique likes and location.
Designed and developed by Ishi Systems, Picksie applies your specific Picksie profile, past ratings, searches, reviews, in-app preferences, as well as current day, time and weather in your location, to recommend events, activities and places of interest – such as restaurants, cafes, bars and cinemas. This means no longer getting recommendations for places that you’ve already been to, or that serve the cuisine that you don’t really prefer.
Introduced by Ishi at the DEMO Fall 2010 Conference, in Santa Clara, CA, Picksie is also the first and only recommendation site app for entertainment available on the iPad. It currently links to the cities of San Francisco and New York but will be expanding to other cities over the next 18 months.
