Overview

As a leading back-end web development company, Paradux provides strategic Internet services to develop eBusiness systems for an evolving economy. Using traditional software development methods, this suite of back-end services can be used to create and implement extranets, intranets and web sites. We have a variety of front-end design partners who can help create a unique, integrated look-and-feel.

There are four primary categories of services: consulting, application development, integration and management. A brief profile of each is provided below.

Consulting

As the web has become the essential business medium in recent years, its ability to increase the efficiency of normal business tasks - and to do things never before possible - has fundamentally changed the business world. But as the advantages of online business activities have increased, the complexity of the applications that run them has increased as well.

That's why you need a solid partner to help you plan every aspect of your application, including:

• Needs assessment, prioritizing and estimating
• Technical research and recommendations to ensure the best solution
• Specification and production schedule writing
• Partner consolidation and cooperation

Design

Ultimately, web sites and applications are used by people. Therefore good user interface design - where human and machine interact - is critical to ensure the success of any initiative. Whether the interface is being designed for in-house administrative staff, customers, or others, we must carefully consider the user profile, feature set, and corporate objectives to design an appropriate display.

We can create an appropriate user interface that is simple and easy-to-use as well as being visually pleasing, ensuring that the design is in line with the corporate look-and-feel.

Application Development

We have a very strong focus on back-end web development. We can not only make web sites, intranets, and extranets pretty; we can make them work. Our engineers are true computer scientists with extensive software development education and experience.

We have two development teams: Microsoft and Open Source. The Microsoft team focuses on VB.NET and C# with SQL databases. The Open Source team generally programs in Java or PHP, using Oracle or MySQL databases.

Because our design and execution philosophy is adapted for the web environment from traditional software engineering methodologies, you can rest assured that we will deliver a product that is second-to-none in quality, reliability, and scalability.

Our development focus includes:

• Database design and web integration
• Custom application development
• Information sharing and distribution
• E-commerce solutions

Integration

While a stand-alone application can be useful, oftentimes it is the program that sits between existing ones that creates the most value. From accessing legacy information to connecting disparate databases, we write tools and programs that make the most of your existing infrastructure and the Internet medium.

• Our integration focus includes integrating our custom applications with:
• Existing databases (local or over the net)
• Third party applications (e-commerce, transactions, etc.)
• Mainframe and legacy data
• Any other open information source with XML or other data format

Management

Once we've developed, integrated, and tested your application, you know it's ready for implementation. But is your staff ready to handle the maintenance and management needs of a complex custom software package?

We provide management and maintenance services to take this load off the shoulders of your already stressed IT staff.Whether it is to perform ongoing testing, maintenance, and improvements, or simply to be there in a time of need, we offer a wide range of agreements to meet your needs.
