VikingCo is not your everyday company. As part of VikingCo, which also markets CityLife, our core business is telecoms. But that might just be a cover-up for our alternative development initiatives, and building an innovative ecosystem which goes beyond classic telco services. Hence our embracing the likes of Django and Python. VikingCo prefers to do things its own way (Mobile Vikings have been called stubborn), so we are developing our own top notch software platform allowing us to offer additional services to our Vikings and CityLifers, and easily integrate with partners in our ecosystem. To this day we also keep upgrading our free mobile apps (the awesome Viking App and CityLife App). But weโre open-minded too: sharing knowledge is our belief. Maybe youโre already familiar with some of our open source repositories (django datatrans, django advanced reports or django states)? VikingCo always seeks the win-win within its ecosystem. Just ask Ingenico, Connective, or Sparkcentral. Our people are so much more than devs: obviously they code, but theyโre given the opportunity to lead projects and the freedom to put forward projects as well. This may sound cocky, but, just as we lead the mobile revolution, our ambition is to go above and beyond in platform development as well. Weโre facing a huge challenge. Donโt miss out.
