Monitoring System Administration

In the spring of 2008, a leader in the financial services industry approached TDK about a network-wide monitoring assignment. The Client had recently designed a new architecture for their risk and fraud detection system and now needed an administrative portal to configure the complex rules and parameters so that it could be used by every bank utilizing the system.

TDK began by analyzing the customer requirements and creating wireframes for the system. Working from a technical environment including J2EE, JSP, Javascript, CSS, HTML, Struts, Hibernate, Spring and Oracle, TDK then designed and developed the administrative application to perform system configuration, billing, data synchronization, audit tracking and operation monitoring.

Global Marketing and Brand Solutions

In January of 2008, the principals of a St. Louis-based marketing communications agency contacted TDK with a complex problem. As a part of their services, the Client was responsible for developing and managing numerous web sites to assist their various global marketing and brand solutions customers. Several of their web sites were experiencing errors related to the display on a Macintosh browser. The Client had originally contracted with another technology firm to address the problem, but was disappointed in the firm's lack of responsiveness and in the quality of the fixes.

Understanding the essential role of the Macintosh platform to the agency's overall business, TDK utilized Mac-savvy technology players on their solutions team, reviewed and analyzed every site, and ultimately corrected all errors related to the web sites' display on a Mac browser. The IT environment included JavaScript, CSS, HTML and JSP. The Client was very impressed with TDK's ability to quickly assemble the right team, analyze the root cause of the errors and fix them in a timely, cost-efficient manner.

Study Management System

In May 2008, the principals of a St. Louis-based laboratory services firm contacted TDK with a thorny problem. Two years earlier, the Client had contracted with a software development firm to build a Study Management System designed to schedule and track drug studies performed for pharmaceutical manufacturers. After two years of development, the Client was disappointed in the results. The software was unstable and did not fully meet their needs.

TDK began by assessing the existing code base to determine its viability. With the initial assessment completed, TDK then met with senior management to fully identify and define the application requirements. TDK then prioritized those requirements into strategic phases for development. This ensured application stability and functionality. The technical environment included Winforms, VB.NET and SQL Server.

Payment System

In July of 2007 a financial services firm brought TDK a complex assignment with an aggressive deadline. The Client had developed a robust payment system and signed an agreement with a very large financial institution to begin employing the new system in their operations. To facilitate payments through this system, the Client needed a portal to capture data about Buyers and Suppliers and their associated relationships. Due to the aggressive schedule and technical skills required, the Client outsourced the design and development of the project to TDK.

TDK began by analyzing the customer requirements and worked closely with the Client to develop the use cases and wireframes. Working on a tight deadline, TDK designed and developed the web portal and integrated the portal into the existing payment system in time to meet the financial institution's scheduled system rollout. The technical environment included J2EE, JSP, Servlets, JavaScript, CSS, HTML, Struts, Hibernate, Spring and Oracle.

Technical Infrastructure Plan

The Client, a leader in the manufacturing industry whose growth has come primarily through acquisitions, approached TDK in March of 2007 with an ambitious assignment: establish the foundation for a five-year technical infrastructure plan, one that would support the company's aggressive growth plan.

After a thorough assessment and analysis of the Client's current technical infrastructure, TDK collected input and feedback about current and future needs from the project sponsor, technical personnel and business stakeholders. TDK then reviewed the major systems and applications in use by the company and consulted with key technology providers to assess their current capabilities and their technology roadmap. After completing extensive research on the technologies, vendors and service providers, TDK presented the Client with a comprehensive Plan, prioritizing risks and making recommendations for determining which Plan items should be addressed immediately, near term and long term.
