LIME Technology is a startup company, started in 2013 in Ioannina, Greece. Three young people shared and combined their vision to develop a software house and an innovation pole with directions that will exceed the geographical limits of Greece. The members of LIME Technology have gained years of experience on project management, mobile and web development, data mining applications as well as 3D visualization environment development, by their participation in National and European funded research projects. During its life, the company has undertaken a series of projects and services development, which provide experience and knowledge at the constantly growing team of LIME. The clients of the company, which are mainly involved in the Healthcare, Education and Tourism domain, have the opportunity to exploit a well-designed, implemented and evaluated fully parameterizable and constantly improved product. By recognizing the technological advancements and their spread in everyday activities and applications, LIME offers a variety of innovative services and solutions, which basically involve: Application development for Mobile Phones and Tablet PCs: The company executives recognizing the accelerating pace of life and the tendency for increased portability, constant information provision and socialization have invested considerable time in the utilization and exploitation of state of the art technologies to develop mobile applications that address the professionals’ and individuals’ needs. Towards this direction, the main objective of LIME Technology is to provide innovative, user-friendly and fully functional applications, either native (installation and utilization on devices with Android and iOS operating systems using the app stores as the main marketing channel) or web (economical solutions perfectly adapted to the requirements and specificities of different devices ) or hybrid (exploiting the hardware functionalities of the devices for maximum portability and adaptation to different platforms). Flexible Learning Applications: The company monitors the developments in technology and recognizes the need to go from electronic learning (e-Learning) to mobile learning (m-Learning) and afterwards to learning everywhere (Flexible Learning). Implementing the idea of «one solution fits all», the company develops solutions that can adapt to any device and platform, offering distance educational solutions aiming at both private and public sector institutions, either in higher either or primary education or even in training employees of large organizations. Geo-tagging Applications: LIME Technology exploits the penetration of mobile phones in every aspect of everyday life and the improvements of the capacity and intelligence of mobile phones and offers innovative applications utilizing embedded GPS and other features (e.g. camera, gyroscope, and accelerometer) towards the provision of significant functionalities to smartphone holders. These innovations utilize state of the art technologies (e.g. augmented reality) to be applied in various sectors (e.g. tourism, e- commerce, social networks). Research and Development in the Biomedical Domain: Leveraging the experience gained through participation in national and European research programs, LIME Technology, in collaboration with clinicians and research teams, targets the development of scientific software. The applications aim at data analysis, feature extraction and data mining techniques as well as analysis of medical images and three-dimensional visualization tools development. Moreover, LIME Technology, having experience in developing web services using authentication protocols (oAuth) undertakes the development of middleware to collect data from various connected devices of everyday life (such as body scales, Pedometers, etc.) aiming at extracting knowledge, analyze information, identify trends, etc. Consulting and Project Management: LIME Technology aims, also, to provide services to companies, research and academic organizations towards the set-up and implementation of a research proposal. The activities could involve: determine the concept, create the consortium, define the roles and lead the submission process. The implementation phase of the project includes: project management, progress track as well as implementation of the project.
