Zydeco developed a prototype application that integrated Dassault Systemes Spatial SDK with Alfresco. Alfresco provided digital asset management functionality while Spatial allowed Alfresco to translate amongst various CAD formats based on workflow rules. The prototype application demonstrated how CAD models can be shared amongst horizontal or vertical partners in a complex supply chain.

Languages

• C++ (Spatial 3D CAD Translator)
• Java (Alfresco Digital Collaboration and Management)
• PDF (PDF Document Manipulation)

Features

• Custom functionality involving manipulation of CAD geometry and BIM information.
• Developing custom tools by leveraging platforms such as Alfresco that are well tested, documented, and have a large user base.
• Integrating multiple tools, technologies, and engineering processes.

The Federal Government regulates greenhouse gas emissions via 40 CFR 98. Zydeco developed a database to compute and track greenhouse gas emissions at over 15,000 oil and gas wells.

Languages

• PHP
• XML

Features

• Submits XML reports to the Environmental Protection Agency's information technology system E-GGRT.
• Creation of proprietary database model for onshore petroleum and natural gas production.
• Use of object-oriented and MVC design patterns and unit/system tests to lower development costs associated with data model and regulation changes.
• Deep understanding of complex operations and chemical processes required to complete application.

TT Barge purchased a custom software application from a large Houston based company. Zydeco was tasked to complete aspects of the application and add new features. The application tracks project metrics gathered from manual input and via a Quickbooks integration, and computes environmental air emissions related to operating permits. The application is required by the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality for permit compliance.

Languages

• Visual Basic (Microsoft Access)

Features

• Creation of complex T-SQL statements.
• Creation of custom analysis reports.
• Deep understanding of complex operations and chemical processes required to complete application.

Zydeco has customized and created custom applications on the Salesforce.com and Force.com platforms. We've helped a mechanical engineering firm migrate to a custom quoting process on Salesforce.com by generating the necessary custom objects and quote templates for PDF creation; and we've created a custom Java application that uses the Force.com platform to sync cloud data to a local database and file server.

Languages

• Java (Capstorm Salesforce.com to Database)
• APEX (Force.com API)
• PDF (Conga Composer)

Features

• Creation of custom Salesforce.com objects and page layouts.
• Creation of custom Salesforce.com quotes and reports using templates and Salesforce Object Query Language (SOQL).
• Windows Service application developed in Java used to sync Salesforce.com data to local server.

Zydeco has experience developing applications on the Google App Engine platform. App Engine provides easy scaling of computational and data resources based on application needs. Zydeco also has experience integrating with the Google Drive SDK.

Languages

• Python (Google App Engine Platform Python)
• Java (Google Drive Java SDK)
• Javascript (Sencha/Extjs Platform)

Features

• Use of Google App Engine entity datastore (Google Query Language).
• Integration of Google Docs and Google spreadsheets in Google App Engine applications.
• Extensive customization and quick time-to-market development schedule via use of Extjs framework.

Zydeco has developed several applications on the Sencha.com and Extjs platforms. Sencha and Extjs provide a Javascript framework that allows quick and cost effective development of web and mobile applications. Zydeco has experience integrating Sencha with PhoneGap to create native mobile applications that feature offline access, access to hardware information including GPS and camera, and a development schedule and cost approximately 50% that of native code mobile applications.

Languages

• Sencha (Sencha Touch Mobile Javascript SDK)
• Extjs (Extjs Browser Javascript SDK)
• PhoneGap (Mobile Application Packager)

Features

• Quick and effective rapid application development in half the time of custom styled applications.
• Integration with widely used mobile hardware via PhoneGap.
• Offline data storage and syncing capabilities via HTML5.
