Further, WindTunnel, a key tool offered by the company allows software developers to create the scaffolding for certain types of projects once the visual specs are available. This reduces development time by hundreds of hours providing great value for the customers.

The firm’s proficiency in providing IT Infrastructure services has made multiple organizations to seamlessly resolve complex challenges. In an instance, Zillow, a leading operator in real estate and home-related information acquired Trulia, a provider of tools and valuable information to real estate professionals. Due to complexity of IT dependencies, the client needed to leverage newer technologies to support multi-forest configurations also demanding migration of Trulia’s email accounts from Intermedia to Office 365 platform while keeping both forests separate to meet business needs and requirements. Affirma being a managed Microsoft partner successfully synchronized and migrated all the accounts completing the complex deployment. This offered Zillow with advanced capabilities and up-to-date functionality of the Office 365 platform.
