Quote from Mohit Bhishikar, CIO,Persistent Systems

"We didn't just update old systems to make them mobile. Instead of designing for the desktop and adapting the portal experience for small screens, Pi focuses on the needs of mobile users first and lets the desktop expand around that core mobile functionality. The result is a targeted mobile experience with a streamlined and task focused portal. The "how" of digital transformation we are driving for our customers starts here at Persistent. It isn't done as one long term monolithic project but as an ongoing series of agile projects. Pi is a great example of that, a collection of task centric apps developed in a six-week agile rhythm. This approach recognizes that new technologies, devices and platforms will continually arise with potential to transform the organization."
