Equator Technologies

A broad IT services firm, Equator Technologies says it serves customers from small businesses up to large enterprises, with particular attention to e-commerce applications. Its services span web and mobile application development, software testing, enterprise systems, staffing and related IT disciplines.

Web and mobile application development

The company builds web applications for modern enterprises, with an emphasis on user experience, reliability and scale, and it uses PHP for much of its web development. On mobile it creates native apps for iOS and Android, and it also builds hybrid applications that can run across most mobile platforms. Its developers build social media applications and e-commerce apps designed to expand a client's customer base.

Software testing across the life cycle

Testing is delivered through a quality assurance process developed in-house, combining manual and automated methods. The services listed run from functional, load, performance, regression and usability testing to security, penetration, cross browser and mobile application testing. The company says it does not compromise on quality even under tight deadlines.

Enterprise systems and large data sets

The enterprise work covers scalable client server applications and complex distributed processing systems able to handle big data. The company says its data analytics team has processed terabytes of information with Hadoop and presented the results through data visualization tools that end users can read easily.

Staffing models for technology teams

Staffing comes in three forms: recruitment as a service, dedicated developers placed with a client, and full teams that Equator builds, operates and manages on the client's behalf. The company also offers desktop application development, database administration, networking and virtualization, and web design.

Examples of recent work

Examples given include a tablet application for Android that lets customers buy mobile phones and accessories, an iOS application that lets construction site supervisors fill in pre-defined forms and produce audit reports, and an application for a Washington DC home staging business that needed to manage its clients.
