Ron Barone, Director of Technology at SmartBorder, expressed his enthusiasm, stating: ‘We are excited to partner with Kaizen Softworks to use Google’s Angular – one of the fastest web technologies available. It will be able to easily handle our large data entry requirements in the enterprise environment.’
The Power of Angular
The choice of Google’s Angular framework is not arbitrary. It offers a host of advantages that are particularly crucial in the international trade industry.
