Web Application Architecture and Development
An innovator in the electric heating and control systems industry turned to TDK to architect and develop a new web application which would replace existing legacy order management systems and manual processes. The client manufactures electric heating and control systems for a broad range of industrial, marine and commercial uses. Products were managed through either a legacy web application, a legacy thick client application, or manually through paper catalogs.
Software Architecture
What is software architecture?
There are many different definitions of software architecture. At
the more technical end of the spectrum is the definition provided
by IEEE:
“Architecture is the fundamental organization of a system
embodied in its components, their relationships to each other,
and to the environment, and the principles guiding its design and
evolution.”
At the more practical end of the spectrum is a definition by
software architect Eoin Woods:
Detailed Requirements Definition
The global leader in pipeline rehabilitation services for the sewer, water, energy and mining industries was considering the redesign of their corporate website, including consolidating several subsidiary websites onto their flagship domain. The client approached TDK to elicit and provide detailed requirements definition, in order to assess the scope, budget and timeline for the project.
How to Advance Your IT Career
There is
growing long term demand for information technology services.
This translates into growing career opportunities for IT
professionals. However, simply “being there” isn’t enough. Just
like the companies they work for, advancement minded technology
consultants should have a vision of what they want their career
to be, accompanied by the goals, strategies and tactics which
will take them there.
TDK Technologies Named for the Second Consecutive Year to Inc. 5000 List of Fastest Growing Entrepreneurial Companies
TDK Technologies (TDK), a St. Louis based IT consulting company with core competencies in Technology and Management Services, was named for the second consecutive year to the exclusive Inc. 5000 as one of the fastest growing private companies in America. Inc. magazine ranked TDK #4,334 on its fifth annual Inc. 5000 list.
Project Outsourcing vs. Staff Augmentation
There is an increasing drive to reduce costs and improve operational efficiencies through technological innovation. This naturally translates into a growing number of IT projects, where success or failure of a business can often hinge on the ability to complete these projects on time, within budget, and to specification. Developing in house capabilities to complete these projects can be a costly and risky venture, particularly when the IT needs of an organization are constantly changing.
Software Development
At TDK, we're not looking to reinvent the wheel. Our approach to software development is simple: get it done right, the first time.
TDK’s focus is on designing software which meets your business needs and seamlessly integrates with existing systems, not on revolutionizing software development methodology. Some firms simply package a collection of common development processes into a "unique" approach which they sell to clients as a one size fits all solution. Others routinely push their clients into software templates which are then patched and extended to meet the client's needs. In contrast, TDK knows that the business needs must drive the software development approach. Thanks to TDK's resources and extensive background in software development, you can rest assured that the ideal technology solution to your business problem won't be obscured by an inflexible approach.
Process
For many years, process experts have been defining and refining software development methodology. TDK understands that these processes ultimately come down to:
- Understanding the requirements - What is the client's business and what are the key objectives? What is the business problem, and how can we apply technology to solve it?
- Drilling the requirements down to technical detail - It is critical to understand the client's current technical environment and assess how the current needs fit into that environment. Are there tools in place that can be leveraged in the solution?
- Designing the solution - Based on the business and technical requirements, design the detailed approach for building the application.
- Building it - Execute the design created in the previous step.
- Testing it - Testing is critical to the success of any IT project. Confirmation that the application meets the business requirements, is well-built and will scale as the business requires can only be achieved through solid, well-planned testing.
- Implementing it - The application is installed in the client's environment. Proper documentation for support and future enhancement to the application is delivered as well.
TDK doesn't let a commitment to a certain methodology dictate the solutions it provides. Whether it requires RUP, Agile, or any other methodology, TDK will select the right process to develop your software.

Architecture reviews and recommendations
Technologies are continually evolving and new problems arise which require new technology solutions to be implemented. Quality technology solutions require a technical architecture which adapts to change and supports your evolving business needs. Leveraging their extensive backgrounds in technical architecture design, TDK's architects can help you meet that need. Even a well designed architecture requires occasional reviews and recommendations to adapt to change.
Design and development of reusable software components
Businesses are becoming increasingly reliant on multiple software systems. As a business evolves, so do its software needs, often requiring new software systems to be developed and integrated into the existing mix of applications. When software systems rely on components which are not reusable, businesses can be faced with poor interoperability, maintenance difficulties, and increased costs in developing and integrating new software. Reusable software components are, like their counterparts in other industries, interchangeable parts which create efficiencies across several areas.
Best practices and guidelines for technologies within an architecture
You want an adaptive technical architecture which enables your organization to implement the best possible technology solutions. In order to achieve this goal, you need to ensure that best practices and guidelines are in place for the technologies used within the architecture. The technical architecture should capture the expertise of skilled architects, thereby defining the ideal technologies critical to the success of your systems and software.
