For any business, growth is absolutely essential - most especially now that we are in the digital age. And while more and more people are using their smartphones and devices to purchase their needs, many businesses are now considering having their own web and mobile apps as a means to connect with their customers.
Web and mobile apps can be an extremely useful tool for most companies, but developing one can consume a lot of time and money. And if your systems are outdated or you lack the technical know-how when it comes to developing web and mobile technology solutions, your efforts will only be wasted.
Which is why having the right people that you can rely on to help grow your business by providing the right tools and can partner with you to build the product from concept to completion, is crucially important.

About the guest:
Andrew Amann graduated with a degree in B.S. Mechanical Engineering. He worked as a nuclear submarine engineer where he created designs on the side that showed the company different ways they could do their operations.
He practiced the method of asking companies to “productize” some of his ideas. Eventually, he ended up getting a patent in Bluetooth tracking for manufacturing facilities. And through that repeatable process of working for a company and selling them a product idea, Andrew realized that I had the confidence to go off and do it as an entrepreneur.
In 2012, Andrew met Pavel Kirillov, an Intel Engineer from Israel. They shared the same passion so they came together to create their first mobile app. They were building the product from 9PM to 3AM and that’s where the name NineTwoThree Digital Studio came from.
Today, Andrew Amann is the CEO and Co-Founder of NineTwoThree Digital Studio. They invent, design, launch and grow digital ventures. He currently focuses on helping businesses grow with innovative web and mobile technology solutions and built over 50 applications supporting millions of end users.
