Our innovative team of programmers along with the R&D department spent nearly two years designing and developing the Vasco Translator M3 before its final release. The design of each application was preceded by a thorough analysis of users’ needs and feedback from our customers, and were created in accordance with high programming standards and practices. Each function on the device was then carefully and methodically checked by an experienced testing team. These methods allowed us to create a stylish product with high-quality and unique software that is constantly being improved – says Maciej Góralski, the CEO of Vasco Electronics.
