Drupal is the revolutionary free-software community weblog/portal created and maintained by the people who use it. Teledynamics offers the following Drupal support services:

Portal Strategy Planning:

Let us help you evaluate Drupal (and most other portal software). TCI has logged over a decade in website deployments and we have created several top-rated portals such as MySympatico and the industrial AutoLinx community-of-interest network. Maybe Drupal is perfect for you, maybe it's not; we can help you decide.

Installation:

Drupal runs on any web server offering the PHP scripting system and a relational database. Basic servers can be up and running in less than a day. Contact us for an estimate

Portal Architecture:

Portal research is our specialty and our passion, and we've been at it longer than most. Let us help you plan your Drupal services to maximize your returns.

User Interaction Design:

TCI has 22 years experience in human computer interaction and interface design. We can help you design your user experience to fit the needs and expectations of your audience and show you how to audit the performance of your portal.

Web Page Design:

It's one thing to have a site that is functionally complete and interactively accurate, but if it isn't pleasant to use, people won't. TCI can show you how to apply principles of Cognitive and Neural Psychology to create a site that takes a step above the rest.

Custom Programming:

Because it's fully modular, Drupal fits most needs as is, but if your portal has special requirements, or if you need to migrate or interface legacy systems, we provide custom software engineering using industry seasoned and field-proven expertise in object-oriented design (UML). TCI is closely involved with the Drupal project; we can do the design and coding for you or mediate between your own developers and the Drupal project.

Although we use Drupal ourselves and participate in its development, TCI is not bound to this product by any exclusive arrangement; we don't speak for Drupal, they don't speak for us, and while we do find new applications for this software almost every day, if it doesn't fit your needs, we'll be the first to tell you.

TCI is also deeply involved in Apache Jetspeed and MoveableType, and we have experience with WebSphere (Struts), Oracle WebServer, b3, PHPNuke, PHPSlash, XPC, Zope, 22/XHoo, and GeekLog; if there's a portal in your plans, chances are we've been there.
