Raizlabs, a Rightpoint Company, Recognized as First U.S. Agency in Google Developers Certified Agency Program


Awarded certification for the third year in a row, Raizlabs is selected by Google for its innovation in mobile app development

BOSTON, July 31, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Raizlabs, a Rightpoint company that designs and builds apps, web platforms, and cutting-edge software, has been recognized by Google as a Google Developers Certified Agency. As an early adopter of the Android platform and creator of hundreds of award-winning apps, Raizlabs is one of the first companies in the world to be certified under the program and our recertification shows the continued commitment to quality.

As part of the Google Developer Agency program, Raizlabs and Rightpoint by extension will receive dedicated training and access to the latest products and APIs from Google. Designed to help software development agencies stand out from competitors, the program supports Raizlabs’ dedication to deliver the best mobile apps to meet customer needs. Now, Raizlabs has access to Google’s team of engineers for invaluable insight into the app development and design process.

Google granted certification to Raizlabs for meeting the following requirements:

  • Apps that have won awards
  • Apps that have been featured by Google
  • Apps with more than 1 million downloads
  • Apps with 4.5 star or higher
  • Experience with Beacons, IoT and more
  • Nanodegree participation and involvement in the Android community

“The certification is recognition of the work we are doing to become the agency of the future across mobile applications, product and so much more,” said Greg Raiz, Founder of Raizlabs and Chief Innovation Officer at Rightpoint. “From joining the program, we’re able to gain a deeper understanding of Google’s developer offerings to get ahead. The hardest problems in software often require us to get to the deepest parts of technology. We’re excited to deepen our relationship with Google and continue to work with clients to make a difference in people’s lives through the software that we’re helping to build.”

Raizlabs has launched hundreds of apps, including many that have topped the App Store charts for their innovation and design. One of Raizlabs’ recent projects was developing the Six Flags app build and custom mapping. For the project, Raizlabs was able to utilize Google for its expertise to inform an innovative solution. Google highlighted Raizlabs in an agency video explaining the certified agency program and some of the work done in collaboration with Six Flags: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8noKc0Ck2fY.

In 2017 Raizlabs was acquired by Rightpoint, an independent customer experience agency with technology at its core. Together, they offer clients unmatched customer experience talent and the know-how and expertise to transform businesses from the inside out via advanced design and technology solutions.
