Several solutions became recognized industry leaders in their market space. Combined revenues for these solutions reached 10 million dollars a year.
As developers of custom applications, On Deck Systems brings a top-notch team of talent with over 12 years experience in the full software development life cycle from conception to end-user support. We focus on understanding our customer's business objectives, building solid working relationships, and delivering scalable solutions that are easy to use. We look for ways to leverage open source building blocks and offshore resources to help minimize development costs.
We can deliver the programming to power any application you can think of. We program in PHP, Javascript, SQL, XML/xHTML, Ajax, Perl, and Python depending on what works best for your application. On the visual side, our multimedia designers program in Actionscript/Flash to achieve spectacular results in their animation work.
