Software development company, Saritasa, moved into a new office in Newport Beach after consolidating two Orange County offices, previously located in Corona Del Mar and Irvine. The move was part of our company’s expansion plan, aimed at hiring more software developers to answer the increasing demand of our cutting-edge software development services.

The expansion will allow our software development company the ability to grow its development services for small and medium-sized businesses, as well as start-up companies. Whether you are a new business looking for website development or a 20 year old firm needing to adapt to the new age of mobility, our software engineers can create what your business needs, from website development to mobile application development, and everything in between.

The new 10,000 square foot office has conference, meeting, and strategy rooms that will be used for brainstorming between software developers and clients. This allows us to really work with and become partners with our clients, rather than being a faceless or “virtual” company out there in cyber space. In addition, the office has state-of-the-art workstations, allowing our creative masterminds the ability to service clients with cutting edge internet technology.

Saritasa understands that in today’s tech-filled world, people are using a variety of devices to get to your business, which means you are losing customers if your software does not work or if your website does not render properly on all devices. Our cross platform development products create an advantageous user experience for all potential customers to your website regardless of the device used.

Our team of designers, developers and programmers bring the talent and experience needed to help local small and medium-sized businesses leverage current technologies including mobile devices for their current business. We deliver full source services from concept to product launch with successful projects ranging from creating proprietary video and video technologies to creating new emerging technologies on mobile devices, including iOS and Android platforms.

Our software programmers are skilled in every imaginable area of web and software development whether it be enterprise software, web development, 3D Modeling, database architecture, or mobile app development. If you can dream it, we can create it.

Our company believes that happy employees work hard and are loyal to the brand and it’s clients. In this spirit, the new office totes a game room for employee breaks, a large, stocked kitchen, and a serenity room for employees who just “need a moment” to de-stress. A masseuse comes to the office every Thursday to give 30 minutes massages to employees, if they wish. Bright colored walls, fun carpet, stylish desks, and an open-air arrangement makes our software development office a fun, community-driven, work environment.

Saritasa employees enjoy being in the office and doing what they love. This love shows in the quality of work that is produced for our clients. Our new office will continue to foster this love and allow our company to hire more talented software and web developers who share our passion for code, for creating perfect work, and for our clients.

The Orange County chapter of Childhelp, a leading national non-profit organization dedicated to the prevention and treatment of child abuse, has trusted the web design and development team at Saritasa, LLC to design and create the website for its annual golf classic fundraiser. This event is about helping children in need, and the www.childhelpoc.com website has to convey a message of caring that inspires generosity. The website plays a crucial role in outreach efforts and generating response. At last year’s event, more than $310,000 was raised!

Your website is your public brand. The look and feel must be backed by ease of use, intuitive navigation, and the ability for users to interact. Containing both static and dynamic components, our web developers designed the Childhelp OC website from scratch before coding it in advanced HTML, CSS, and CMS software.

Our web development team includes specialists in design, navigation, and optimization. They worked together to design, develop, and create a website that presents the Childhelp OC message in a warm, welcoming, yet elegant way. The textured background makes visitors feel like they are looking down at a luxurious table, where they are picking up their tickets for this once-a-year-only event, while the graphic of the child and adult playing golf at the bottom of the page reminds them that this is a worthy cause.

The “Home” and “Event” tickets contain information about the golf classic. The “Sponsorships” ticket describes the various opportunities available including Title, Executive, Associate, Full Corporate, Half Corporate, Individual, Tee or Green, and Hospitality. Each option is described, including publicity recognition, as well as the number of player spots and award dinner tickets included.

The “Golf Reservations” ticket is where sponsors sign-up. Those interested in participating identify the sponsorship opportunity of their choice, complete the contact and payment forms at the bottom of the page, and then submit their information. Additional award dinner tickets can also be ordered.

The website also includes an “Auction Items” ticket, where visitors can preview the auction list, download the full event program, or filter the auction items. The filter function enables users to view the items included in a specific type of event auction, including silent, live, and raffle. The “Contact” ticket is where visitors can find the names and telephone numbers of the event organizers as well as for reservations.

The driving force behind the concept of GoGoCabi is the idea that calling a third party dispatcher is an old-fashioned way of reaching a service provider in this digital age, especially when intuitive smartphones can track location, share appointment information, and send messages instantly in a seamless and effortless way.

Using the iPhone’s built-in GPS to determine users’ locations, the GoGoCabi iPhone App allows prospective passengers to hail participating cabs in their vicinity with just the push of a button. Once a passenger’s “hail” is sent out to nearby cabbies, cab drivers can deny or accept the hail. If accepting, the driver is promptly sent the new passenger’s contact information, a map of their location, and is also given the convenience of sending pre-written texts that inform the new client of their estimated time of arrival, request specifications for pickup location, explain unexpected delays, etc.

The GoGoCabi iPhone App is a win-win for both passengers and drivers. Those looking to catch a ride no longer have to suffer the pain of standing on street corners hoping to find cabs that never show up, and drivers have the opportunity to avoid driving long distances for free in order to pick up inconveniently-located commuters. Passengers also have the ability to schedule pickups in advance and at different locations just by changing the time and place options found on the application. Dedicated to making your cab hailing experience even more convenient, the GoGoCabi iPhone App also allows passengers to save their cab drivers to a favorites list, making it easy to call back favored cab drivers later.

The GoGoCabi iPhone App is designed so that users can register under three different parties—passengers, taxicabs, and business partners. Passengers are given the pleasure of using GoGoCabi’s services free of charge and are encouraged to use this application as often as they wish, while taxicab drivers are charged $1 per “hail” they accept but are given the benefit of having a major boost in business! Additionally, registered business partners are given the amazing chance to help boost cab availability while earning their own money as a result!

Our top-quality iOS development capabilities are truly demonstrated through the GoGoCabi iPhone App which is supported on the iPhone 3 and 4 with Retina and non-Retina displays. Programming GoGoCabi’s back end using the flexible web development platform LAMP, displays our dedication to developing strong, powerhouse applications that are uniquely robust and high in quality.

GoGoCabi is an exciting iPhone App not only because of the amazing services it provides, but because its popularity is already growing! The GoGoCabi iPhone app is available for FREE download in iTunes with services offered in Los Angeles and San Francisco. GoGoCabi is expected to be the biggest hit in cab-hailing history and will soon be brought to a city near you! To learn more, go to GoGoCabi.com or check it out on Twitter and Facebook.

So stop waving your hands like crazy to flag down cabs you can’t rely on, and get with GoGoCabi today!

Fed up with feeling inundated by e-mails and PDF files, CritWalls was conceived by a team of designers and brand consultants who understood the need for a website that could streamline the review process for visual creations.  Inspired by the use of wall space to mount, display, and rearrange images while exchanging creative ideas during traditional, in-person meetings, the CritWalls website transfers this effective use of “the wall” to the virtual world, making long-distance collaboration as effective as on-site meetings without the expense and inconvenience.

No longer walled into the idea that collaborative business tools are limited to written text, CritWalls offers one, centralized location for multiple parties to view, develop, and discuss designs and other visual creations in real-time. This unique service provides an interactive interface that lets users both upload their own image files (PSD, AI, PDF, JPG) and download colleagues’ files directly from the site, saving users the hassle of exchanging images through e-mail.

Perhaps most impressive, however, is the ease in which users can post reviews, comments, and suggestions right onto the images themselves. Simple to use markup tools (such as the color wheel, drawing tool, eraser tool, and type tool) provide users the utility of arrows, circles, freehand drawings, and imbedded comment boxes to make critiques on the exact part of the image they wish to discuss; furthermore, future visitors to these images have the option of both viewing or hiding these comments at any time.  For those not big on typing out reviews and suggestions, audio message recording is also available.

CritWalls’s user-friendly dashboard provides a dual-purpose sidebar that displays real-time updates for all projects in progress and accommodates for a chat-structured wall discussion categorized by image and topic, making it easy for users to exchange ideas in a quick and effective way.  The ability to comment on and discuss individual images in an organized manner is an important element of CritWalls as it enables designers and their clients to share feedback that is clear, well-organized, and immediately actionable.

Re-instilling the magic of working hands-on and in person, CritWalls allows designers and other creative minds to stop hassling with mountains of unorganized e-mails and PDFs and get back to work on what really matters—innovation, collaboration, and perfection.

CritWalls is here to cover all design collaboration needs in order to make creative businesses more efficient—from wall-to-wall.

NEWPORT BEACH, CA, February 17, 2012— Saritasa, LLC, today announces the beta development of the new 3D Sailing Race Instructions applications on iOS devices. The 3D iOS apps are designed to simulate the sailing experience in order to help novices understand how wind shifts affect the position and course of a sailboat racing upwind. This unique iOS application harnesses the power of virtual environments rendered in the third dimension to create realistic sailing encounters for instructional use.

Utilizing the advanced interfaces of the iPhone and iPad, Saritasa revolutionizes both training and learning methods for beginner racing skippers through expedient and engaging interactions on this mobile application. Though the racing component is not yet available in the beta version, Sailing Race Instructions teaches essential sailing skills by illustrating the effects of wind shifts on the position and course of boats heading toward the windward mark and by including exercises that demonstrate upwind strategies for persistent and irregular wind shifts.

“The magic, of course, is in the 3D,” commented Nik Froehlich, President and CEO of Saritasa, while explaining the effectiveness of this application. Indeed, the third dimension is the key element in making Sailing Race Instructions an immersive and valuable training tool, allowing users to understand the tricky dynamics of sailing upwind by exploring these events first-hand. Creating a full 3D experience, Saritasa’s sailing application constructs multiple navigational perspectives including aerial, third person, and cockpit points of view while also enabling figure gestures that can look up, down, and around a full 360 degrees. This on-the-boat, 3D simulation produces a realistic sense of the effects wind shifts have on sailboats, thus creating an interactive environment for learning how to harness this wind correctly to keep one’s boat on course.

Wind shifts play a pivotal role in operating a destination-oriented sailboat, making Sailing Race Instructions an important tool for learning how to recognize, interpret, and respond to strong and rapid changes in wind direction. This application gives users the convenience of practicing sailing maneuvers on the readily available iPhone or iPad without the expense and hassle of practicing drills on the water, resulting in more thoroughly trained and competent skippers.

Available for limited release soon, Saritasa promises that Sailing Race Instructions is the best instructional tool for any landlubber or rookie sailor looking to develop or expand their aptitude in sailboat racing.

With Saritasa, you’ll go from novice racer to Captain Speedy in no time.

Saritasa, LLC continues its leadership in developing mobile healthcare applications for the iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad with the release of the VITAS Hospice iPhone App, for devices with iOS 4.1 and later. The iPhone application allows physicians to determine whether or not hospice care is clinically appropriate and to immediately send patient referrals to VITAS Innovative Hospice Care®, the country’s leading hospice provider.

Featuring landscape and portrait orientation, the mobile application integrates into the VITAS Innovative Hospice Care API, for validation of physician profiles, confirmation of patient referrals, and the ability to access the company website. Physicians using the mobile app from their iPhone can also speak with an admissions coordinator, or talk to a hospice clinician at any time, 24 hours a day.

Physicians must first create a profile before they are allowed to make referrals. Upon completion and submission of the patient referral form, the physician receives a confirmation message that says, “Your form has been successfully sent.” In those instances where Internet access is not available, the referral forms are stored in a queue until they can be delivered.

The VITAS Hospice iPhone App also includes static information that the physician can easily reference when assessing the patient’s condition. The General Criteria describes the overall condition of a “VITAS-Appropriate Patient,” and the Diagnosis Categories contain detailed information for specific illnesses, such as cancer, heart disease, HIV, ALS, and Alzheimer’s and neurological disease.

Flurry Analytics have been incorporated into the VITAS Hospice iPhone App, allowing VITAS Innovative Hospice Care to collect and analyze user interaction data. The specific user metrics include the number of calls to the 800 number, the geographic location of the caller, the location of the referred patient, the number of downloads of the VITAS Hospice iPhone App, the number of referral forms sent, and the disease category of the referrals.

The VITAS Hospice iPhone App is now available for free in the iTunes store. Currently, there are plans to develop a version specifically for the iPad, as well as a version that will run on Android mobile devices.

The VITAS Hospice iPhone App was created by Saritasa’s team of advanced mobile developers with expertise across all platforms, including the iPhone, iPad, and Android devices. Saritasa, LLC is a full-service web and mobile applications and software development company, with offices in Newport Beach, California, and Asia.
