HCMC headquarters.

Who Are

01

3. “Realize the
digital dreams of
entrepreneurs
and business
owners.”
GKIM is a creative
technology studio
with a mission.

4. Today’s climate is pressing businesses to embrace digital ever
faster and deeper than before. Business must transform
existing operations while entrepreneurs see much opportunity in
starting up greenfield projects.
Yet while industry spends over a trillion dollars per year on
software, it is reckoned that over half of this is wasted on
projects that come in too late, over budget and simply do not
deliver upon expectations.
This is due to a vast gulf between business leaders and
technologists and technology marketers. With poor
management and misaligned incentives, we see time and time
again that businesses suffer from a fundamental lack of control
throughout the technology development lifecycle.
Modern Technology’s
Challenge

5. GKIM partners with exciting entrepreneurs
who seek technological support and a
partner who make their ideas come to real life.
GKIM deploys its considerable experience to
work closely with our partners’ management
teams.
Who are we working
with?
GKIM collaborates on digital strategy and
advises on technology choices. We take care
of all aspects of digital design, software
development and operations.
With a focus on performance and long term
benefits, businesses get the control that they
need.
To “digitize business
ideas”. This lets us
discover and target
exactly the best
solutions for our
partners’ strategic
business opportunities.
What is GKIM’s core
methodology?

7. Trust us to take care of your digital projects.
Entrepreneurs and managers trust my team
and I to take responsibility for their software
development strategy. We assure on time and
on budget rollout of effective digital
initiatives.
We offer partnerships to entrepreneurs and the
promise of management alignment to
businesses.
GKM Value Proposition
My career has been all about bridging the gulf
between the real and digital worlds.
On one side I work with brilliantly creative
entertainment, marketing and business people.
On the other hand I work with the technologists
we rely on to make their dreams come true…

8. “In comparison to our previous “full
stack developer”, GKIM has proven
themselves to be
consummate professionals,
performing at twice the speed and
half the price, including taking
charge of all aspects of technology
delivery. With GKIM’s support, we
are making significant inroads in
changing the way that doctors
service their patients across
Singapore.”

We seek budgetary and design approval before starting work and
report in detail upon completion.
Partners in success:

9. We bridge this gap by “Digitizing Business Ideas”
using GEARS. GEARS re-imagines the “value
chain” concept, for the world of software
applications and digital business platforms.
The output of GEARS is an architecture of the
“digital business engine”. This blueprint is a most
effective tool to understand business objectives
and manage them through the software
development cycle.
GEARS can make the difference between digital
success and technology failure. GEARS gives
unprecedented levels of control.
Our Magic
Ingredient
GEARS is the antidote to managers who don’t quite
know enough about technology (well, it’s not their job!),
and for engineers who don’t quite know enough about
business.

10. “As a software engineer, I took an MBA to
help me understand how the “other side”
works.
GEARS follows on from this. It has been
validated by entrepreneurs and business
consultants. It has been tested by fire in real
projects and has contributed to many
project successes.
See my white paper on “Reinventing Value
Chains for the Digital World”.

12. Benefits from working
with us
GEARS gives us exact insights
into how their digital
businesses work, how their
performance should be
measured and how they
should evolve in ever more
competitive and changing
times.
For business
GEARS blueprints provide a
breakdown structure for the
costing, scheduling and
development of projects. This
includes technology and
outsourcing decisions.
For managers
GEARS provides user
experience and process
workflows as well as key data
and business concepts to put
engineers on the right track.
For designers & developers
By kicking off projects with GEARS, we “left shift” development cycles, minimize
technology risk and give assurances of schedule, budget and project performance.

13. We need to get things right before diving into expensive
technology. What’s worse is even more expensive bug fixing
because the original idea was flawed. GKIM uses GEARS to give us
that clarity and confidence.
How to get market
faster?
With GEARS we precisely define what is required of Proofs of
Concept (POC) and Minimum Viable Products (MVP). These are
based on the sure knowledge of how we want the platform to
evolve.
See how fast we can take things by focusing on the digital value
chain and how the business needs to work. GKIM refuse to spend
your money on ill considered technology and production effort.
Haste is the enemy of speed.
Considered roadmaps get important features out early
Getting to market quickly begins with a phone call.

14. I have seen too many projects go from
grand vision, to overblown promise to
never quite make it.
I’ll admit to having been involved in
some of these and vow to never let it
happen again.
Experience tells me that design should
be 50% of timeline and 25% of budget.
It’s the fun part and when done right will
assure you of success.
“

15. We commit the time it takes to build relationships with our partners
before asking for a single dollar. We can defer our consulting fees on
really cool digital business ideas, sharing our value and the role that
GEARS plays in the management of our software projects.
Based in Vietnam, GKIM can offer competitive rates for our production
team, who work only on demanding projects from our international client
base.
However, GKIM is not in the business of selling man hours, and also seeks
partners who can reward our strategic contribution with long term
equity in their business.
Our
Business
Model “Over the years, I have
participated in some quite
successful exits.
They take longer to bring in and
require commitment, but when
you love what you do this is all
part of the reward.
Our rates are competitive but
more important is the long term
value we seek to grow, together.

16. We have teams specializing in
mobile, in web technologies and in
the design and development of
business back ends; the logic, rules
and business processes that must
turn fast to make is the money. We
use the latest and best technologies
and tools.
Meet our team
Supporting the engineering groups
are leaders in product
management, creative user
experience design, quality
assurance and digital marketing.
These teams are outward looking
and work closely with our partners
on business and marketing
objectives.
We are here to build your software
platform, craft compelling user
experiences and help drive business
success.
Our team is a multi-disciplined group of
experienced techs and creatives.

17. “I have trod many digital frontiers
in my time, in #1 selling video
games, award winning ad
campaigns & million dollar
business engines.
None make me as proud as
what my team do every day;
working with clients, sharing
ideas and solving problems, as
we work together to deliver
business strategies for our
partners.

18. Other shops offer anonymous tech talent that you must direct explicitly. Others
offer services that you must brief.
What makes GKIM different from most software developers is our focus on
business goals before technology spend, our maturity and wide range of
digital skills under one roof.
Technology, no matter how cool and complex, must offer useful capability, real
ROI and few distractions from business goals.
We work with you to understand what success looks like and to design the
digital products to take you there.
Discover how we can digitize your ideas like no other developer, for the
competitive advantage you need.
What makes
us different?
“In my ten years of growing with the team,
GKIM has developed a strong collaborative
culture. We have developed a customer
centric mindset and a focus on business
success.
We have been tested by the most creative
of advertising agencies, the most switched
on governments and the most ambitious
entrepreneurs.

19. GKIM provides the technology for this Singapore startup to reinvent the delivery of medical
services via telemedicine and remote dispatch. On its second round of funding and in the
midst of a global medical crisis new features are being added every day.
Working with Ambitious

21. GKIM worked with HomeTownLondon in the UK to build fantastic 3D games, interactive
branded experiences and a supporting social media presence. These were embedded in a 6m
TV set inside the a massive shopping bag, taken on a road tour to promote Rakuten brands in
major cities.
Working with Creative Brands
GKIM worked with ArcStream in the UK to design a cool augmented reality game taken to
pubs and clubs across the land to remind drinkers that Grolsch, even when served from a tap,
was still about the famous bottle and the distinctive ways of opening it.
GKIM worked with Ogilvy Singapore to creative a suite of beautiful storytelling apps featuring
Nestle’s Bo Bear brand mascot for kids. Our production values and attention to detail were
lauded by the client who asked us to translate it into more and more languages.
