BAR-Z MOBILE DEVELOPMENT
Founded in Austin, Texas in 2005, Bar-Z Mobile Development grew out of the rise of the smartphone here on top of the Silicon Hills. In the beginning we primarily served the tourism market with creative interpretive guides for many of the nation's greatest cities and parks
As we continued to grow, our client list expanded and we began developing mobile solutions for all types of publishers, broadcasters and media companies, in addition to the different civic and tourism organizations we serve. Over the years we’ve found that while all types of organizations and their audiences can benefit from mobile apps and websites, publishers and media companies have specific requirements and challenges when it comes to developing a successful mobile project.
zNewsroom is a division of Bar-Z Mobile Development that is focused entirely on meeting the needs of newspapers, TV and media organizations with industry specific features, knowledge and experience. zNewsroom offers our clients access to the type of deep industry expertise that you would find at a boutique software development shop but backed by the powerful Bar-Z Mobile Development platform and support team. At Bar-Z Mobile Development, and within the zNewsroom division, we sharpen our skills with each opportunity we get to innovate for our clients.
WHY BAR-Z?
Company founder, Lee Little, named Bar-Z in honor of his grandfather, J.V. Gates and his distinctive Barzee Brahman Bulls. Mr. Gates was a south Texas rancher who attacked a critical problem with the development and breeding of the Brahman Bull—its aggressiveness. His insight and careful dedication allowed him to breed a “Naturally Gentle Brahman,” an animal never before seen in the cattle industry.
Today, the Bar-Z brand continues to stand for innovation, resourcefulness and perseverance. We are a diverse group of folks with varying backgrounds and interests (as evidenced by our breakfast taco orders) but we come together in our commitment to bring our best work every day. We work hard and go the extra mile to make sure our clients are getting the best. Strategizing, planning, building, testing, launching, and marketing apps is serious work. It's true that much of the time we have our heads down, but, by all means laughing is appreciated and encouraged.
