Prototyping

TDS offers rapid prototyping for new applications. We quickly get you to wireframes and functional mockups so the more technically challenging (and risky) aspects of the project can be identified early, assessed and resolved. From there, we can take your project to full completion or work to an agreed milestone before handing the project to your core development team.

TDS Application Services for Startups

Software and SaaS startups face unique challenges early in the launch process. While a prototype is often the most effective way to secure funding, it also induces time lag due to limited resources or cash burn if additional staff is added. Startups can leverage TDS for prototypes through full production adding credibility to your investor pitch (and improving valuation / decreasing dilution). Rather than wait weeks or months to field an internal software development team, these companies can have TDS field a development team on day one.

"I had a vision to revolutionize the small business loan industry and wanted to move quickly. I turned to my trusted friends at TDS for technical expertise so I could focus my time on building the business. The TDS team acted as my CTO, development team and IT operations. Their knowledge, agility and speed have been vital to our success".

Mitch Jacobs - Founder and CEO - On Deck Capital, Inc.

Here are some of the services TDS provides for custom web and mobile applications (please mouse over for details:)

Assessments and Planning When assessing business applications, TDS starts by reviewing your current systems, processes and goals. We probe into areas that are working well, while searching for low hanging fruit for process improvement. During the assessment and planning phase, TDS will define the general approach, timeline and pricing to complete an enterprise application deployment to suit your business and technical requirements. [a href="consulting-services.php"]Learn More...[/a]		Install / Configure / Customize Installation, configuration and customization steps are typical in the TDS deployment of enterprise applications. This may begin with an environment assessment to ensure that the IT infrastructure is suitable. TDS will also discuss the full deployment process to make sure we are in alignment. Then we install and configure the application based on your requirements. TDS implementation consultants will provide basic customization of screens and workflows, and will collaborate with you and our development team to define new customizations and deep systems integrations where appropriate. [a href="deployment-services.php"]Learn More...[/a]		Applications Support TDS offers a range of onsite and remote services to facilitate the adoption, tuning and ongoing operations of the enterprise applications in your environment. This could include outsourced services to install updates, configure new features, user training and system reconfigurations to stay in synch with your business growth and maturation of business processes.

Business Process Consulting When companies embark on new systems and processes, we often find existing processes that are not well documented with heavy reliance on "tribal knowledge" or are being performed in a particular manner due to limitations of older systems. For these situations, TDS offers optional business process consulting services that can be used to redefine processes, which can include documentation and training services. In other cases, our clients prefer to take the lead on business process definition, documentation and training internally and leverage TDS for core implementation and backup support services. [a href="consulting-services.php"]Learn More...[/a]		Readiness / Go-Live As your go-live date approaches, there are several optional services from TDS that can help ensure a smooth transition. From custom data migration services, to functional training, to formal user verification process, we will work with your team to ensure you are prepared to go live. We can work with your IT team or augment them through-out the process. [a href="deployment-services.php"]Learn More...[/a]		Infrastructure Support A solid application environment requires careful attention to the underlying IT infrastructure. From cloud to conventional data center solutions, we can provide assessment and operational support to assure your IT environment is working smoothly. This can include one-time services like cost-to-compute analysis, PCI compliance remediation, vulnerability scans and hosting decisions. TDS also provides ongoing services like 24/7 environment monitoring / call center support, system updates (OS, server, applications), network engineering services, backup management to full data center operations for some of our larger clients.
