The very first Hackathon<\/strong> held by Carmatec<\/a> IT Solutions Pvt Ltd in the month of November, a highlight for the year 2014 was initiated by the HR department -Aneesha(HR Manager) and team and coordinated by Tech organizers Junaid(Senior Developer) and Sreedeep(Senior Developer).<\/p>\n

Omshivaprakash(Director \u2013 Business Development) was the one who has proposed this idea with a motive to drive the innovative spirit of the Carmatec and give them a platform to showcase their thoughts. Four teams have have taken part in this event with 3-5 members in each team whose spirit was really admiring and to be respected.<\/p>\n

Needless to say the event was awe-inspiring and well received. The judge\u2019s panel consisted of Aromal Rajagopal(CEO), Indu Aromal(Director of operations) and Omshivaprakash, and they did have some tough moments deciding the first runner up.<\/p>\n

Now for the most awaited result, WHO REALLY WON THE HACKATHON<\/p>\n

The trophy went to ColorCubes <\/strong>Team with a unanimous vote for they were definitely the front runners throughout the event.<\/p>\n

What set their project apart was that it was well designed, well presented and it was extremely creative. And above all, it had a very relevant use case of solving a lot of UI and conversion related problems within the ColorCuboid<\/a>\u00a0team. Theirs was the only team that had implemented the project, so that was also a feather in the cap for them. So a big cheers to this team, for making a complex problem so simple to solve and implement & show case it to the team!!!<\/p>\n

We then had a literal tie between Cygnus<\/strong> and Ideator<\/strong>!!<\/p>\n

Both of them had presented a very good idea. Cygnus won it finally, but Ideator, you guys were just a step behind. Cygnus came up with this platform to integrate lot of development tools to create a software developer\u2019s hub, thereby helping to solve a lot of problems the developers now face working with independent tools. Awesome idea, and has a lot of scope for future development, but lost out a little bit as the workflow for conceiving it was not elaborated in detail.<\/p>\n

But we truly appreciate the idea and the minds.<\/p>\n

Ideator came with a simple but very well planned plan to incorporate a new feature in VisionCarma and presented it with \u201cTo get a great idea, come up with lots of them\u201d. They had thought about the workflow well, and we liked the way it was presented.<\/p>\n

The next team is PhoneGap<\/strong> that presented us with a simple and easy to use framework about this software that makes mobile application development<\/a> for cross platforms simple and achievable easily. It was surely a good one, and may solve a lot of things we want to take up on mobile front.<\/p>\n

So that concludes the Hackathon event;<\/p>\n

Great job to the participants and the organizers\u2026<\/p>\n

We hope to see more of such activities in Carmatec and till then keep your thinking hats on!!!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
