We started in 2000 as a two-person company designing and building websites and CD-ROMs. We were motivated by our belief that people deserve products they love to use. We quickly became known for our collaboration with clients, strong concept development and focus on the customer's needs.
In 2011, after seeing Agile deliver better teamwork, higher productivity and greater business value at Boost, we began training and coaching in Agile and Lean. Drawing on our years of experience managing software projects, we support our clients to build their own capability to deliver better software, faster.
In 2012, we took collaboration to the next level, becoming the first company in New Zealand to be WorldBlu-certified as a democratic, freedom-centred workplace.
In 2019, we won the Team Gold Award for our drive to make Boost the best place to work in New Zealand.
Today, we specialise in web and mobile application development using collaboration as the means of managing projects and delivering quality.
