Welcome to the latest edition of the Mitrais Newsletter.

The year 2022 has certainly hit the ground running. As Covid-19 starts to recede from our collective consciousness, the world starts to return to a more normal way of operating. We are pleased to see that many of our partners are starting to return to business as usual, that borders are starting to open and opportunities across the Asia Pacific region continue to grow. That is my hope for all of us, that we continue to see opportunity and take advantage of it when it appears before us.

In this edition of the Mitrais Newsletter, we are focussing in on our long-term partners, the latest in app development technology and on our passionate employees. We hope you find the articles this month interesting and informative.

Improving processes is at the heart of what Mitrais do, and we love getting to work with a company who is as passionate about improving processes for their clients as we are. Enter BUZ Software, a specialist in software for made to measure products like soft furnishings. Learn how Mitrais were able to work with BUZ Software to expand their on-shore development team quickly and easily and create a lasting business partnership.

With an increased expectation on new features and more frequent releases, Agile has become the method of choice for developers wanting to deliver for their customers. But how do you ensure the absolute best of security when delivering new releases at an ever-increasing rate? In our article on Developing Secure Software, we discuss the key considerations for those developing software using agile methodology, and how key considerations like Learning and Education, Quality Assurance and Certification can help ensure that your software is secure.

Flutter is a cross-platform application development toolkit, developed by Google, that is taking the world by storm. It provides quicker and easier development, allowing you to build beautiful apps with intuitive and reactive interfaces. In this white paper, Mitrais outlines the key consideration points for choosing an app development framework, showcasing the top 6 frameworks available right now, allowing you to evaluate the best solution for your team.

Finally, we would like to showcase Andriansyah (Andri) Bachtar, our VP of Finance, as this month’s featured employee. Born and raised in Jakarta, Andri spent the first 30 years of his life in the one place and worked deep in the hustle and bustle of the largest city in South East Asia. Andri takes a particularly holistic approach to business, and to his tastes in music, and his personal philosophy “Life is too short. The here and the now, and you’re only given one shot” illustrates how he has traversed both his life and his career, taking every opportunity that has come his way. We all have much to learn from Andri as we navigate this time in the world. We are so proud to have Andri as part of our Mitrais family.
