Allies Interactive was established in late nineties.Though it started it's business as web/graphic design and software consulting/services company, but during last five years it has transitioned to mostly to product development (design, web, mobile, e-commerce, entertainment). Allies has been investing a lot of energy and resources in product research and development, specially in the area of design, and mobile applications.This transition (from consulting to product company) has been made easier by a (business) model where Allies helps other startups (often with only non-technical founder) by acting as their research, development and engineering team. In order to successfully help other startups, Allies makes sure it is fully empowered to make all decisions related to technology strategy, roadmap and implementations.It has not only been helping other startups in their research and engineer needs, but it has also (often) shared the cost and risks along with founders of these startups.
