Development Team
At 360KID we do more than hire experienced programmers, writers, and designers. We invest the time it takes to recruit top-notch talent, and then invest even more time in building and retaining productive development teams who consistently produce award-winning products while remaining on time and on budget.
We think our development team is the best anywhere, and our clients seem to agree:
“We found that the 360KID staff of instructional technologists, software engineers, and producers were extremely well qualified and knowledgeable. Not only does our software product shine in our industry, but our staff was able to grow in core competency within this field due to the exchange of ideas with you. In addition, the process was well defined, timely, and deadlines were always met. 360KID will remain our software partner for many years and products to come.”
