And the winner of the IBM Pulse App Throwdown is... MyMenu!
We had five fantastic finalists demonstrating some superb applications developed on the IBM cloud and security portfolio.
Standing out above some stiff competition, I am ecstatic to announce that the winner is… MyMenu. This early adopter of the IBM Bluemix beta is bringing a menu of cloud, big data and mobile to restaurants, at the same time helping to reduce ‘appathy’ induced by downloading a separate app for every restaurant we frequent.
