Mercedes Benz USA Flex 3 Site Launched

It’s an ecstatic day for us here at Anaara Media as mbusa.com went live this morning.

It was great to finally see our efforts on this project go live, but things are only ramping up here as we begin work on an iPhone application for a major telecom and we are also wrapping up on a DOD e-Learning project done in Flash with four million end users…

In short, the RIA space is still in the supernova phase.
