Ecrio

Ecrio develops a framework to upgrade common applications into communication-rich applications for multiple operating systems and phones. The job it does: building software for you when nothing off the shelf fits.

It makes the most sense for companies with a specific process to automate. Alongside the main category they mention Operating Systems and Real Time. As a small company team themselves (11 to 50 people), they tend to serve customers of a similar scale best. You will probably talk to the people who build it, which is great until you need 24/7 support.

Ecrio is based in Cupertino, California and around since 1998. You can read more at ecrio.com.

Things worth asking about: portfolio relevance, who owns the code, and how they handle changes. A short pilot with your real data tells you more than any demo.

If you have worked with Ecrio, tell the next buyer what you paid and what surprised you. That is the part of this page we cannot write.
