Elegant Media honoured as a Deloitte APAC Technology Fast 500 Winner

  • Written by: Tess Sanders Lazarus

Elegant Media has been awarded a place in the prized 2021 Deloitte APAC Technology Fast 500TM. This recognition stands as a testament to Elegant Media’s dedication and success in producing outstanding full-service mobile app development solutions for government, businesses and entrepreneurs that challenge the largest tech empires in the industry.

Elegant Media is Australia’s leading app and software development company. They work with government, corporates, entrepreneurs and businesses of all sizes to develop and deliver cutting edge tech solutions. With over 100 mobile app projects completed, Elegant Media’s team is one of the most experienced teams in the country.

Now in their nineteenth year, the prestigious Deloitte APAC Technology Fast 500TM is the pre-eminent technology awards program in Asia Pacific, celebrating the best of the best from ten Asia Pacific locations: Australia, China, India, Indonesia, Japan, South Korea, Malaysia, New Zealand, Singapore and Taiwan. Receiving a place in the Deloitte APAC Technology Fast 500TM demonstrates Elegant Media’s ability to break down the barriers and transform the app development process into a seamless, actionable course that enables its clients’ apps to gain more downloads and generate more income.

Anushka Bandara, the cofounder and chief executive officer of Elegant Media, has hundreds of completed mobile app projects in his experience, and is delighted his agency now has the attention of the world’s leading award for technological development.

Combining technological innovation, entrepreneurship and rapid growth, Technology Fast 500 companies — large, small, public, and private — span a variety of sectors, and are leaders in software and hardware tech sectors, media, communications and life sciences and emerging areas, such as clean technology. These companies are transforming the way business is done today.

The Technology Fast 500 award winners are selected based on percentage fiscal year revenue growth. Eligibility for the Technology Fast 500 requires that companies own proprietary intellectual property or technology that is sold to customers in products that contribute to a majority of the company’s operating revenues, and a base-year operating revenues of at least US$50,000. The ranking is compiled from nominations submitted directly to the Technology Fast 500 program, and public company database research, which helps to differentiate the very best leaders, teams, strategies and innovations in the region.

Elegant Media earned a spot in the Technology Fast 500 based on its ability to elicit the unmet needs of its clients with the business’ signature app development process – Jumpstart – that rivals the biggest tech giants in the world.

Our goal at Elegant Media is to challenge Apple and Google in app Development. App stores are ecosystems owned by two tech giants that don't own the process of app development or apps developed by others. It's like a shopping centre owned by a billionaire but the management authority makes the decision about layouts, shops and facilities,” Bandara said.

“We have developed the world’s best processes for the development of mobile software. Our processes are so exhaustive and expansive that they include libraries of functionality covering 90 percent of the features seen in mobile apps. When we find any bugs or errors in apps, we fix the system so as not to repeat the same error in other apps. Our innovative approach to app development is called ‘Jumpstart’, which draws layouts automatically after you feed in the business information as part of the app development project. The coding is then covered by artificial intelligence for most features. Our approach is groundbreaking. Not only does it ensure apps are developed quickly and effectively, it also means they can be produced at a more affordable cost.

“One day we wanted Apple and Google to work according to our systems and processes in app development. Being awarded a Deloitte APAC Technology Fast 500™ Winner is bringing us one step closer to this reality. It is an honour and I am really pleased that our work has been recognised in this field.

“Pushing boundaries and innovating is in our nature at Elegant Media. Developing out-of-the-box full service solutions for our clients’ app endeavours is a core part of our business – building the app is only part of our process. We strive to create success stories by working with our clients from the initial idea, through to the marketing and distribution of the app. We never want a client to walk away with something over-done or under-whelming – so we embrace the opportunity to push our own capabilities to the next level.”

Elegant Media is a full service mobile app development and software solutions provider for businesses, government and entrepreneurs. Elegant Media’s team of 60 App technology experts operates in Australia, Sri Lanka and the United States in order to keep costs low for their clients, and leverage different cultural backgrounds and time zones.

Seeking Funding for Your Business Development and Growth

  • Written by: NewsCo

When you are looking to fund your business's growth and development, it can be difficult knowing what to ask for and what process to undertake. There are many funding options available to businesses, such as bank loans, peer-to-peer lending, or even local government grants. As the choice of funding options on offer is so vast, it can be difficult to pinpoint exactly what is needed to apply for each funding option. The main requirement that you must have ready to go is your financial data and information. Your business's financial data has to be organised and formatted in a presentable way that is ready to use and easy to read. After getting your financials in order, it’s time to start thinking about what else you will need and why.

Establishing Why You Need Funding and Just How Much You Need

How much funding do you require, and over what period of time? Do you need funding to launch a new product? Do you need an injection of cash to hire a new employee? Or do you need to make improvements to your website? Establishing why you need the funding will help you provide a targeted financial plan to whomever you seek finance or funding from.

Reporting the Facts and the Figures

You may be desperate to get your hands on adequate funding, but even so, you have to be sure to report accurate figures and facts when seeking support or assistance. Bending the truth or even tweaking the figures is not the correct way to go. Being accurate and honest will ensure that you don’t get refuse any much-needed finance. Having correct and factual information and data to look at and work from will help you see where there is room for development and also where there is room for improvement. Going for funding is a good opportunity for you to organise all of your data and information ready for future use.

Delivering a Financial Plan and Report

Collating all of the information and putting it together in a financial report and plan may scare the living daylights out of you, but you do not have to worry as there are consulting and training agencies on hand that will help you provide you clear data and data cohesion which is essential to helping your business move forwards. Having all of your data collated into one area or platform will ensure that you can move onwards as efficiently as possible.

Keeping Track of How You Will Spend the Funding

When you go for any type of finance or funding, it is vital that you know just what you will use to keep track of your spending to ensure you make the most of it. Allocating the money up and establishing where it goes should go alongside recording where it actually goes. Keeping a spreadsheet that is quick and easy to maintain will allow you to update your spending daily. Doing so will ensure you keep on track at all times.
