Nazimcorp Resource Gateway (NRG) recently developed the 'Program Your Spouse' solution, its first application for Apple's app store, says a news release. The company claims to be the first ever ICT company in Bangladesh to become a direct developer of such an application and actually place it on the app store online. "The easy-to-use daily task manager is the perfect solution for people who tend to forget their everyday jobs due to a busy lifestyle," said Lutfar Rahman Nirjhar, chief executive officer of NRG. He also said that through the application, its users would be able to ensure the completion of all tasks on time. He also expressed his hope that the application's usability with categorisation of users, prioritisation of tasks and simple interface will surely make this an ardent application of any iPhone user's daily life. The application is available in the Apple app store at $ 0.99 only. 'Although there were some foreign companies who outsourced from Bangladesh, we developed the application by ourselves with the sole motive of placing it as a product on the app store,' said Nazim Farhan Choudhury, chief vision officer, NRG. He also said 'this is just our guinea-pig product. We are developing two other major products for app store that will ensure better resource sharing,' adding that these two applications will also be available in the store shortly. About the current state of the IT sector, he said, "already identified as a thrust sector, this particular industry has a huge potential at channeling in foreign currency through such endeavors and other innovative projects, provided proper encouragement and support are received from concerned authorities. Only then firms like NRG and others can contribute toward realizing the vision of a Digital Bangladesh by 2021."
