Some of the tools and platforms we utilize
Mobile Apps

The Internet
A content and service delivery platform
Glo.am is a firm believer in enabling the potential of technology through harnessing the power of the internet. We utilize the web's protocols as a transmission pipeline for our connected apps and its ubiquity as an opportunity to reach potential users.
HTML 5 & CSS 3
Unprecedented web interactivity
With HTML's 5th iteration, the web now has the tools to deliver a first class user interface experience. Coupled with CSS 3 and JavaScript, rich content delivery, interactivity and responsive design are all now achievable.
Glo.am utilizes these current standards in all of our web applications and we are fully invested in seeing them succeed. In that vein, we fully support open source software initiatives and standards.
Cloud Platforms
Scalable and redundant storage
The ability to count on a service to be there when you need it most is paramount to running any business. Cloud platforms offers scalability coupled with the peace of mind that comes from knowing your data is safe thanks to redundancy. As the web's reach grows, the power of a centralized data store with distributed replication and access becomes more valuable every day to all businesses.
With current market offerings from Google Cloud, Microsoft's Azure platform and Amazon's AWS, Glo.am Interactive is able to leverage cloud technology to monitor and react to business metrics as well as provide additional functionality within our products. As outspoken cloud proponents, - "We are all in!"
Unity 3D
Revolution in a box
With the continual growth of the gaming market segment by leaps and bounds over the last decade, the arduous arena of game development was ripe for disruption. This is exactly what Unity did and continues to do with its products. Touted as a cross-platform game development platform, Unity empowers game developers large and small with an intuitive interface, powerful tools and flexible deployment options. The masses have flocked to its fold and for good reason.
Glo.am utilizes many versions of Unity's product in a number of its game and visualization apps and we look forward to a long, fruitful partnership with Unity as they release future versions and services.
3rd Party APIs
Talking amongst ourselves
APIs, or Application Programming Interfaces, have been around for a while, but have only recently become prominent among purveyors for the accessing of "open" information over on the web. When dealing with fractionalized information, APIs allow for superb collaboration resulting in a completely transparent and cohesive interaction.
Glo.am enriches end user experiences by making use of various 3rd party APIs from popular social networks and consumer services like Facebook, Twitter and music providers.
