Background

Since 2005 the 51degrees team have been creating mobile sites and providing consultancy services.

We aim to provide the underlying components of our services in a form that others can easily integrate into their businesses.

Our team also produce and contribute to thefonecast.com, which is a leading podcast and blog focusing on the UK mobile industry.

Services

In addition to the Mobile Toolkit downloadable from this web site we provide consultancy and professional services covering:

Strategy - because defining a genuine business need and the associated return on investment for a proposed mobile web site or service is the first thing any organisation should consider.  Our experience in business and technology means we can ensure you've set realistic goals that complement your organisation's aims.

Project & Programme Management - our staff have managed £17m of project and programme capital spend in the last 3 years. We're recognised as experts in getting technology programmes and projects delivered to time, cost and quality - making sure everyone's expectations are set and managed realistically.

Architecture - ensuring the I.T. architecture and design is fit for purpose before you begin will help establish the success of your mobile project. We can lead or work alongside other architects to put the right foundations in place.

Development - we can seed your existing .NET development team with experienced mobile developers to lead your project and willl transfer our knowledge as part of the project. We will also take on the end-to-end delivery of any development work if you need extra assistance.

Why 51degrees?

We're based in Reading, a UK town west of London. Reading's northern latitude is 51 degrees. As location is such a major component of our services, we reckoned it was an appropriate name. It really is as simple as that!
