Team Calendar
This year we produced a team calendar besides our wall calendar. This team calendar eases the planning especially for agile teams. If you want to give it a try, write a short e-mail to info(at)tngtech.com and we gladly send it to you while supplies last.
Project Management
For a large pay-TV company we provided a project manager, who centrally planned and controlled the extension of an important business process.
Functional Programming
Cooperating with Scala Solutions we will hold a Scala training in our office on February 23rd and 24th, 2011. We are happy that on the second day of the training the Scala inventor, Martin Odersky, will co-chair the training personally. On the evening of February 24th, 2011, there will be a presentation on the future of Scala. Everyone who wants to participate, can register free of charge at info(at)tngtech.com.
Technical Due Diligence
For a customer from the finance sector we conducted a technical due diligence at a company, our customer wanted to join in. In the course of the due diligence we analysed the system architecture and performance, IT security aspects, the licencing environment, and the state of the documentation. We reviewed the technical tools, that were used, and the processes for development, project handling, customer support and operations. The result enabled the customer to reach a better investment decision.
B2B Market Place
Lusini, a B2B market place for hotel and gastronomy needs, went into a public beta phase. TNG was substantially responsible for the implementation of the server side in Apache OFBiz. We designed and operated a redundant production infrastructure. We integrated a new interface to a payment provider in OFBiz and reached the PCI certification of the system to be able to use credit cards.
IT Management
At a customer we took over the guidance and coordination of the IT department transitionally. We took care of the infrastructure and support of employees. In addition, we supported the internal development of an online community on the basis of PHP and the Zend framework.
Build of a Reporting Database
For a customer we built a reporting database, since the productive database was not suitable for reporting tasks. We allowed for easy handling of the new data for our customer as well as good extensibility in the case, that later a more complex data warehouse should be based on the reporting database.
Application Development | Agile Methods
We supported a customer in the telecommunication sector in the development and requirements management of a web application based on Enterprise Java and the JavaScript framework Ext JS. For that we used our Scrum process knowledge to implement the project ideally according to the dynamic conditions, and coached the Product Owner of the customer in compiling the product backlog.
Agile Testingdays
One of our experts gave a talk at the Agile Testing Days on test driven migration of complex systems. We reported on a successfully conducted data migration project, in which we were able to control the arising risks by a combination of approaches from test driven development with big bang release scenarios.
iPad Development
For a publishing house we developed a mobile version of its successful learning software for children, that was available on PC and Mac until now. Parts of the games should be implemented first for the Apple iPad, and later for other mobile platforms such as Android.
