Newcastle based web development agency, AYO Media has become a North East technology pioneer by achieving Citrix Solution Advisory status coupled with developing a series of innovative business applications.

AYO Media, launched in 2008 by three local entrepreneurs, has strengthened its position as a forward-thinking company by joining forces with software giant Citrix in their bid to offer innovative virtualised solutions in the North East.

Citrix has revolutionised computing with desktop virtualization, application virtualization, server virtualization, application networking, cloud computing and Software as a Service offerings radically simplifying computing for millions of users, delivering applications as an on-demand service to any user, in any location on any device.

Rob Mathieson, the Managing Director of AYO Media, said: “We are very excited to be cooperating with Citrix.

As a Citrix partner, AYO Media will be able to sell and deliver Citrix products, providing all our clients with these effective solutions.”

The drive for AYO Media to be at the forefront of technology doesn’t end here. Over the past two and a half months the web development agency has produced applications for its business clients, which include an iPad application and a Proof of Concept multiplatform mobile device application.

As mobile integration has grown to become a key objective for most businesses, AYO Media has recently delivered a mobile SMS service for their client Utilitiesin1.com. The service enables Utilitiesin1.com customers to text in their gas and electricity meter readings. Once received, the text message is broken down and the individual values are automatically logged into the database and an estimate bill can be generated off the back of this process.

Kevin Reece, Technical Director at AYO Media, said: “Working with forward- thinking companies such as Utilitiesin1.com, AAF Ltd and Tipstar has given us the opportunity to develop applications on the latest devices and use the latest technologies whilst doing so.

Along with our day-to-day web development, we also develop products that really make a difference, helping businesses perform better, saving both time and money.

We look forward to delivering more of these wonderful apps in the future!”
