Effort to retool Software Nigeria to international market has started yielding the expected result as Microsoft at the just concluded 2015 Imagine Cup technology competition held in Seattle, Washington expressed interest on the possibilities of working with Team LifeWatch from Nigeria on their AsthmaVisor solution designed to supervise asthmatic patients.

For the Microsoft judges, it was a difficult task to select the best Team out the three Teams that pitched for the final stage in Innovation, World Citizenship and Games this morning in front of capacity audience of about 5,000 students, judges, partners, Microsoft employees and media at the Washington State Convention Center in downtown Seattle.

The waiting time is over. Thirty-three finalist Teams who arrived Seattle last Monday for the global technology contest had showcased their innovative solutions in a live presentation before Microsoft panel of judges.

One of such companies is Archos. A pioneer in the portable audio and video player market since 1988, Archos now specializes in Android Tablets and Smartphones. Between, 1988 and now, it has been a testament of adapting to succeed. In 2000, Archos launched the Jukebox 6000, the first MP3 player combined with a hard disk. In 2008, Archos launched the first generation Internet Tablets, and then the first ever Android powered tablets in 2009. In 2013, Archos launched its first generation of Smartphones with the Archos Platinum series.
