ROCKY HILL, Conn., July 16, 2013 /PRNewswire/ — Tallan, Inc., a leading professional services firm with over 28 years of custom application development, business intelligence and systems integration experience, announced today the successful publication of the Praxair Direct app to the Windows Store.
The Praxair Direct app is a Windows 8 interpretation of the Praxair Direct website and can be downloaded for free from the Windows Store. The app allows users to quickly search and browse the tens of thousands of products that Praxair sells. The app can also be used to locate a nearby Praxair store and/or request a quote. The app was a joint effort between Tallan and Praxair. Tallan designed and developed the app while Shumin Liu, from Praxair, ensured that the necessary Praxair subsystems were in place and that the app adhered to all Praxair business, legal, and marketing standards.
Craig Branning, CEO of Tallan, said "Our early adoption of Windows 8 and recent book publications have put us in a great position to add tremendous value to clients like Praxair. While quickly getting their app for Windows 8 into the Windows Store, we helped them through the crucial initial steps in developing their strategy for Windows 8."
Saverio Marrazzo, Associate Director of Solutions Technology at Praxair, added "I was impressed with the amount of Windows 8 knowledge and experience that Tallan brought to the table. Being one of the first in our industry with an app for Windows 8, we needed Tallan's Windows 8 experience to help guide and execute our strategy."
"With Praxair Direct for Windows 8, businesses can quickly fill orders, request quotes and locate stores on their Windows 8 device, whether at the office or on the go," said John Richards, senior director of Windows App Marketing for Microsoft Corp.
