Hello friends of Balsamiq!
It is with great pleasure that I can announce today that Balsamiq has entered a long-term partnership with Aramis B.V., a Dutch software development company owned by my long-time friend Stefano Masini.
Aramis is going to help us with our software development efforts, working on myBalsamiq, Mockups, as well as with some of our internal tools.
I am really excited about this partnership. I have known Stefano since our days at the University of Bologna, studying Computer Science together. We were lab partners quite often, and I have no shame in admitting that he was by far the better programmer. 🙂
When I moved back to Italy in 2008, I went to visit Stefano so that he could teach me some TDD, while I taught him a bit about Flex. We have been in touch ever since, following each other's professional careers and companies.
After much progress on both sides, which included him relocating to The Netherlands, I am very pleased to be able to work with him again.
Even if he's not a Balsamiq employee, we gave Stefano a stefano@balsamiq.com email address so that he can support the features he'll be developing.
Please join me in welcoming Stefano and Aramis B.V. into the extended Balsamiq family by leaving a comment below.
Onward!
