About Appnovation Technologies

Appnovation Technologies operates as a global, full-service digital consultancy, originating from Vancouver, Canada. The firm was established in 2007 by Arnold Leung, who launched the company at the age of 21, immediately after graduating from the University of British Columbia's Sauder School of Business with a Bachelor's degree in Commerce. Leung's entrepreneurial journey began during a university internship, where he started developing websites for investment advisors on a contract basis, providing the foundation and connections to start his own venture upon graduation.

The company's business model is centered on providing digital solutions and managed services to a diverse client base that ranges from startups to Fortune 500 corporations, government bodies, and non-profit organizations. Appnovation specializes in leveraging open technologies to deliver services such as digital strategy, user experience design, data analytics, platform engineering, and enterprise integration. Revenue is generated by strategizing, building, and deploying secure digital experiences, complemented by 24/7 support and maintenance services. Initially focused on web development using open-source platforms like Drupal, the company expanded its offerings to include mobile applications, back-end systems, and big data services, capitalizing on the growing adoption of open-source technology. The firm has established strategic partnerships with companies like Acquia, Alfresco, and Alibaba Cloud to enhance its service delivery.

Appnovation's services cover a wide spectrum of digital transformation needs. This includes developing web and mobile applications, creating enterprise content management systems, and implementing solutions for big data, business intelligence, and cloud platforms.
